2-Min Summary
Manappuram Finance reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹2,614 crore (+11% YoY) and PAT of ₹405 crore (+70% QoQ). Growth was driven by the gold loan portfolio, which surged 99% YoY to ₹50,953 crore AUM, now 80% of consolidated AUM. The microfinance subsidiary Asirvad posted a modest profit of ₹13 crore versus a loss of ₹156 crore in Q3, aided by a new book mix (59% of portfolio) with collection efficiency of 99.4%. Management guided for continued gold loan momentum, targeting 500-550 new branches in FY27, and expects consolidated ROE to improve to 13-16% over 1-2 years. Key risk: elevated credit costs in vehicle and MSME portfolios may persist, requiring further write-offs.
