DCB Bank reported a mixed quarter with core PAT falling 9% below expectations due to lower margins and higher provisions, despite a 1% better loan growth and improved fee income. The bank aims to double loans in 3-4 years, focusing on mortgages, MSME, and gold, while targeting an increase in ticket size to Rs4-5mn. NIM is expected to improve from 3.27% through better loan mix and efficiency, leading to a revised target price of Rs155, down from Rs180, while maintaining a 'BUY' rating.
