Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
Disbursement growth intentionally muted
Company received ~Rs 200 crore monthly in loan applications but disbursed only ~Rs 40 crore due to tightened onboarding norms. This voluntary restraint limits near-term AUM growth acceleration.
Funding cost gap vs larger peers persists
Despite improvement, the company borrows at ~12.7% average cost vs larger NBFCs at ~9%, a 300+ bps gap. This structural disadvantage limits margin expansion unless credit rating improves.
Profitability volatility during transition
ROE remains below long-term aspiration this year. Analyst questioned whether the current business model delivers adequate risk-adjusted returns given volatile profit growth, despite improving asset quality metrics.
