Ugro Capital reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹628 crore, up 51% YoY, driven by strong growth in focus verticals (EM LAP and embedded finance) which now constitute 38% of AUM (vs 33% last quarter). PAT grew 26% YoY, but included a one-time restructuring cost of ₹25 crore. The company is executing a strategic pivot away from the intermediated prime book, which is running down as planned, while focus verticals grow at ~25% CAGR. Management reiterated FY29 targets: 85% AUM in focus verticals, opex reduction from ₹750 crore to ₹490 crore in FY27, and steady-state ROA of 3-3.5%. Key risk: credit costs may rise as the unsecured embedded finance portfolio seasons, though management expects them to stay around 2%.
