Jana Small Finance Bank IPO Receives Positive Analyst Reception Due to Strong Deposit Growth and Diversified Loan Portfolio, Reflected in 1.4x Price to Book Value Ratio.

The Bangalore-based Jana Small Finance Bank Ltd (Jana SFB), whose initial public offer (IPO) was open from February 7 to February 9, is in the process of finalizing its basis of allotment on Monday. The IPO, valued at Rs 570 crore by the SFB (formerly Janalakshmi Financial Services), witnessed a total subscription of 19.89 times. Additionally, it commanded a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 37 per share over its issue price of Rs 414, indicating a potential 9% listing gain for investors. The stock is expected to debut on Thursday, February 14, alongside Rashi Peripherals and Capital Small Finance.

At its issue price, Jana Small Finance Bank had a price to book value of 1.4 times (FY24E annualized). Analysts were optimistic about Jana due to factors like deposit growth, diversified loan portfolio, strong brand equity, and improved asset quality ratios.
