2-Minute Summary
HDB Financial Services delivered a strong Q4 FY26, with PAT at ₹751 crore (up 16.6% QoQ) and gross NPA improving to 2.44% from 2.81% in Q3. Disbursements hit an all-time high of ₹19,922 crore, up 11.2% QoQ, driven by enterprise lending (28% QoQ growth) and gold loan (587.8% QoQ). NIM expanded to 8.23% (vs 8.09% QoQ) as management held yields and optimized borrowing costs. Asset quality improved across segments, with credit cost moderating to 2.35%. Management targets medium-term AUM growth of nominal GDP +6-7%, with disbursement momentum expected to translate into book growth. Key risk: West Asia conflict and potential supply chain disruptions could impact CV and MSME segments, though no material impact seen yet.
