We estimate the earnings growth of our banking universe will be strong (aggregate earnings up 26% YoY, earnings of public sector banks [PSBs] up 42%) in Q3FY2015 largely driven by treasury profits (due to a decline in bond yields).As the margins are expected to remain stable, the net interest income growth is likely to follow the credit growth for the PSBs (~10% YoY).While asset quality impairment is still high, it has shown signs of stabilisation and we expect the trend in Q3FY2015 to be similar to that in the preceding quarter.
