Anyway, I would also lean in favour of HFCK on account of its low P/B, which is way below the 2.1 average of the six, not to mention its exciting housing projects. mwekezaji, any comments on the low ROA and ROE of HF?
IMHO, HF is cheap from the price valuation metrics (P/E, P/B, DY). However, it remains a diamond in the rough because it is yet to realize its full returns/earnings and hence the low ROA & ROE. It also need to reduce its Cost to Income ratio which is high at 59.4%. ... Another general observation is that the Tier II banks have relatively lower ROA & ROE than the Tier I banks
