Quarter read
What the record says.
Aavas Financiers reported a strong Q2 FY26 with PAT of ₹164 crore, up 11% YoY, driven by robust NII growth of 18% YoY and improved spreads. Disbursements grew 36% QoQ and 21% YoY to ₹15.6 billion, recovering from Q1's recognition framework transition. AUM reached ₹213.6 billion, up 16% YoY, with full-year guidance raised to ~18% growth. Asset quality improved with 1+ DPD at 3.99% (down 16 bps QoQ) and GNPA stable at 1.24%. Management guided for 20%+ AUM CAGR over five years, supported by geographic expansion into Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, and productivity gains. Key risk: localized stress in eastern Madhya Pradesh and potential spillover from MFI disruptions in Karnataka, though portfolio impact remains limited.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management raised AUM growth guidance to around 18% for FY26, up from earlier expectations, driven by strong disbursement momentum.
- Company plans to add 20-25 branches in the second half, including 8 more in Tamil Nadu, to deepen penetration in existing markets.
- Management committed to bringing operating expense to asset ratio below 3% over the medium term through operating leverage and technology benefits.
- Management reiterated guidance to keep credit cost below 25 basis points, supported by strong asset quality and proactive risk management.
Risks flagged
- Management identified stress in the eastern belt of MP and tightened underwriting; though contained, further deterioration could impact asset quality.
- Analyst raised concern about MFI ordinance impact; management acknowledged early tightening but residual risk remains if microfinance stress spreads to affordable housing.
- BT-out rate increased to 5.7% in Q2 from 4.9% in Q1, driven by competitive pressure from banks and other HFCs; retention efforts may not fully offset.
- Management hinted at possible PLR cut if MCLR transmission occurs, which could compress spreads if cost of funds does not decline further.
Key quotes
- Our calibrated risk strategy remains firmly anchored in prudence and discipline guided by sound underwriting principles rather than any perceived weakness in demand.
- We are confident that our strategic initiatives underpinned by prudent risk management and a customer-centric approach will continue to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for all our stakeholders.
- I'm here and fully committed to AAS and its performance and so is the AAS board and the promoter group.
