Five Star Business Finance reported a challenging FY26 with asset quality headwinds from MFI/unsecured loan stress spilling into secured small-ticket loans. However, Q4 FY26 showed strong recovery: unique customer collection efficiency hit 98.1%, X-bucket collections at 99.3%, and slippage ratio dropped from 1.09% to 0.7% QoQ. Disbursements grew 24% sequentially to ₹1,213 crore, and full-year PAT was ₹1,099 crore (+2% YoY). Management guided for ~20% AUM growth in FY27, credit cost of 1.7-1.75% (steady state 1.5-1.6%), and ROA of 8.25-8.5%. Key risk: geopolitical/macroeconomic uncertainty could impact borrower behavior, though management sees minimal exposure.
