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.

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.
