TCS shows growth by attracting investments of 16,000 crore rupees, while Reliance Industries shares lose value

An international brokerage company has lowered the target price for shares of one of the SBI companies, leading to a decrease in the stock's value on August 21. The company whose rating was reduced is named SBI Cards and Payment Services Limited.

According to the global broker's statement, this asset could potentially fall by 34%, from 610 rupees to 430 rupees, while the company's rating remains unchanged at 'underperform'.

Bernstein notes that there is a significant change occurring in the revolving credit card model, and the probability of this pressure decreasing is extremely low. This model pertains to banking business where customers partially pay their bill first and carry over the remainder, generating income for the company through interest on the unpaid amount.

The decline in SBI Card shares is possible because the company is entirely engaged in issuing credit cards. Bernstein sees risks associated with a further decrease in the 'revolvers-to-spends ratio'. Despite improvements in credit card costs, pressure on the growth of net interest margin and profit may persist. The brokerage firm also adjusted its earnings per share (EPS) forecasts for SBI Cards and Payment Services.
