Fitch downgrades PNB’s viability rating by a notch to ‘BB’

02 Sep 2015 Evaluate

Credit ratings agency Fitch has downgraded viability rating of Punjab National Bank (PNB) by a notch to ‘BB’ to reflect the growing risk to the bank’s capital position from its mounting stock of stressed assets, which has risen at a faster rate than its capital replenishment.

The rating agency has downgraded the said rating as the bank’s capital buffers are unlikely to improve significantly even though the state is likely to inject capital into the bank in the financial year ending 30 March 2016 (FY16), with the bank’s large stressed assets stock potentially taking longer to resolve than that of its peers.

Punjab National Bank reported 48.71% fall in its net profit at Rs 720.71 crore for first quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to Rs 1405.12 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. However, total income of the bank increased by 4.73% at Rs 13432.05 crore for quarter under review as compared to Rs 12825.13 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
