On this basis, the PE Ratio works out to 4.83.

Andhra Bank has been improving its Business quite well. Its Net Interest Margin is very good at over 3.3% always. All other ratios are good. 

The asset quality has however not been good in last 2 quarters. If this improves, its performance will register significant uptrend. Its Income and expenditure performance – but for NPAs – has been impressive. Its proposed expansion by 200 branches in current year also is impressive. With its CAR Ratio, it can clock good revenues in FY 13, but needs to keep the NPAs in check.
