The bank found out the discrepancy in an internal audit, according to exchange filings.
Going by the information on the bank’s website with respect to its Q3FY25 earnings, IIB’s net worth was at ₹65,102 crore as of December 2024. As per the bank’s estimate, the impact would be about ₹1530 crore.
Brokerage agencies downgraded the rating following the exchange filing form the bank. “We believe this event will shake investor confidence on franchise value. While valuation look low, book value sanctity is under question. We are yet to cut earnings estimates, given a pending external report, but earnings downgrade is imminent. We downgrade to Sell from Accumulate with a lower TP of INR 830 from INR 1,020.” said Prakhar Agarwal, Banking & Financial analyst at Elara Securities in a statement. The ratings given by brokerage agencies have a bearing on the decision of investors to buy, hold or sell the stock.
