Strengths
Strong business performance of the company with the second-largest market share.Strengths
- SBI cards is the only company that focuses entirely on the credit card issuance business.
- Robust revenue and net profits in the last three years.
- Increasing credit card usage in the economy as the economy develops.
Weaknesses
- A credit card company faces the risk of default by individuals, in the form of unsecured credit to the individuals
OUTLOOK
The use of credit cards is expanding in the country with a circulation of credit card increasing to 48.9 million in May from 38.6 million (27%rise) in the last year. The total transaction value on credit cards has also gone up to 6 lakh crores in 2018-19 from 4.6 lakh crores in 2017-18 ( as per RBI data). This shows that the credit card industry in India has a substantial avenue for growth because of the low penetration of credit cards in the country which is again a positive for SBI Card. Also, SBI Card is growing by bringing in innovative products, co-branded partnerships, and cashback programs. Tapping the SBI customers for new card acquisitions lowers the credit risk, enhancing the credibility of the portfolio. Hence investors might keep this IPO under lens for cashing in on the opportunity.
