Belstar Microfinance's IPO may be postponed by three to four quarters due to ongoing stress in the microfinance sector, according to Muthoot Finance MD George Alexander Muthoot. Despite receiving SEBI approval for a fresh issue of Rs 1,000 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 300 crore, the company has reported a decline in net profit and flat growth in recent quarters. Muthoot anticipates that the sector will improve, allowing for a potential IPO in the future.
Muthoot Finance reported a strong 2QFY25, with gold loan growth of ~28% YoY to ~INR862b and a stable NIM of ~11.8%. PAT increased 26% YoY to ~INR12.5b, while net total income rose 34% YoY to ~INR25.8b. Despite these positives, valuations suggest limited upside, leading to a Neutral rating with a target price of INR1,815.
Muthoot Finance shares surged nearly 8% following a strong quarterly profit and a milestone of over Rs 1 lakh crore in assets under management (AUM), driven by a significant demand for gold loans amid tighter RBI regulations on unsecured lending. The company's gold loan AUM reached a record Rs 86,164 crore, with most loans repaid within six months. Analysts from Bernstein and Morgan Stanley have expressed positive outlooks on the stock, citing improved market conditions despite some sectoral concerns.
Muthoot Finance reported a robust quarter with a 6.5% QoQ and 28% YoY growth in its gold book, alongside a 26% YoY increase in PAT despite higher provisions. The company raised its growth guidance to 25% for FY25E, driven by strong customer acquisition in the gold lending sector. Dolat Capital Market maintains a 'BUY' rating with a target price of Rs 2150, citing the firm's strong brand and low operational expenses.
Jefferies has reduced its target for Hero MotoCorp to ₹5,500 per share, citing in-line Q2 results and concerns over market share decline and demand shifts. Meanwhile, Nomura maintains a buy call with a target of ₹5,805, highlighting rural market improvements and potential for margin growth as new EV models are introduced. Both firms expect strong double-digit growth in India's 2-wheeler market over the next three years.
Muthoot Finance reported a 26% increase in net profit for Q2, reaching Rs 1,251.1 crore, up from Rs 991 crore in the same quarter last year. Total revenue from operations rose to Rs 4,117.4 crore, compared to Rs 3,059.67 crore a year earlier. The board also approved an additional equity infusion of Rs 500 crore into its subsidiary, Muthoot Money Ltd.
Muthoot Finance reported a 26.25% increase in standalone profit to Rs 1,251.14 crore for Q2 FY25, with revenue from operations rising 34.57% to Rs 4,117.44 crore. In contrast, Surya Roshni faced challenges, posting a 55.06% profit drop to Rs 34.16 crore amid seasonal and geopolitical pressures, despite a focus on operational efficiency and market expansion.
On November 14, 1,181 companies, including Hero MotoCorp, HAL, and Glenmark, are set to report their Q2 earnings, reflecting diverse sectoral trends. Eicher Motors achieved record revenue despite a slight sales volume decline, while Vodafone Idea reported a narrowed net loss amid a shrinking subscriber base. The market showed signs of recovery after recent declines, with the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gaining points in early trading.
