2-Min Summary
Aptus Value Housing Finance delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with disbursements of ₹1,242 crore (highest ever, +17% YoY) and PAT growth of 26% YoY to ₹261 crore. AUM grew 21% YoY to ₹13,117 crore, driven by higher ticket sizes (discontinued sub-₹7 lakh loans) and expansion into Maharashtra and Odisha. Spreads improved 10bps to 9% due to lower cost of funds (8.1%). Collection efficiency rose to 100.5%, though GNPA increased to 1.52% (vs 1.19% in FY25) mainly from NBFC portfolio. Management guided for 22-24% AUM growth in FY27 and sustained ROE above 20%, supported by 60 new branches and connector channel. Risk: rising competition in Tamil Nadu and potential yield compression from calibrated lending rates.
