Quarter read
What the record says.
Fedbank Financial Services delivered a strong Q4 FY26, with PAT crossing ₹100.5 crore (up 40% YoY) and AUM reaching ₹20,153 crore (27% YoY growth, 41% ex-BL). The gold loan book surged 76% YoY to ₹10,352 crore, driven by 148 new branches and 12% tonnage growth. Credit costs improved to 0.7% of average total assets (vs 1.7% in FY25), while GNPA fell to 1.9%. Management guided for 20-25% AUM growth in FY27, with ROA expansion of 20-30 bps driven by operating leverage and lower credit costs. The small-ticket LAP segment remains a turnaround story, with collections infrastructure rebuilt. Key risk: geopolitical uncertainty could raise funding costs and pressure margins.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated guidance for overall AUM growth of 20-25% in FY27, with gold loan growth of 20-22% even if gold prices remain flat.
- Management expects ROA to improve by 20-30 bps from FY26 levels, driven by lower credit costs and operating leverage.
- Credit cost is expected to stay rangebound, with management toggling between opex and credit cost to achieve ROA improvement.
- Management expects gold loan origination yields to recover by 10 bps in Q1 FY27 as seasonality effects reverse.
Risks flagged
- Management noted hardening of borrowing costs post-February and higher hedge rates on foreign currency borrowing due to geopolitical tensions in the Gulf.
- Despite rebuilding collections infrastructure, management declined to confirm profitability on the existing ₹3,800 crore ST LAP book, indicating uncertainty.
- While management targets 20-22% gold loan growth even with flat prices, a sharp correction could pressure AUM and yields.
- Regulatory changes requiring income assessment for loans above ₹2.5 lakh could slow customer acquisition and increase operational friction.
Key quotes
- We crossed the psychological milestone of 100 cr of PAT. This was an important base camp for us in our onward journey from a year of repair.
- We are cautiously optimistic of an upward journey from here.
- The competition is yet to get those branches in the spaces that we are operating and we are yet to see that pressure play out although it might but it has not yet played out.
