Microfinance in India faces significant challenges, with shares of major lenders like CreditAccess Grameen and Spandana Sphoorty plummeting due to rising non-performing loans.

Vikram Akula's "Micro-Meltdown" offers insights into the industry's volatility and potential for recovery.
SBFC Finance reported strong performance in the September quarter, driven by robust asset growth and improved digital collections, capitalizing on the MSME credit growth cycle.

The S&P 500 Financials sector continues to rise, with JPMorgan's stock facing a downgrade amid its significant gains this year.
Williams-Sonoma CEO Laura Alber discussed the company's pricing strategy following a strong earnings report, emphasizing the importance of initial pricing that resonates with customers. She criticized competitors' reliance on promotional pricing, asserting that it undermines long-term customer trust. Despite being a high-end brand, Alber highlighted that the company's prices remain accessible, noting increased consumer enthusiasm during the holiday season.
