- The company targets AUM growth of 15% to 17% for the next financial year (FY26), indicating positive loan book expansion. - Disbursement growth is expected to continue with a similar trajectory beyond FY25 supported by geographical expansion and marketing efforts. - Cost to income ratio may slightly increase from the current ~17% to around 18.7% post-implementation of the new IT system due to incremental OPEX of ₹25 crores per year. - Credit cost is guided to remain stable at 10-12 bps. - Margin improvement may come from liability repricing and incremental business from higher-yield segments (SENP and LAP). - Expect stable spreads around +2.5% and NIMs of +3.5% going forward. - Incremental lending rates and leveraging NHB refinance at lower costs could support profitability. - Branch expansion and growing in self-employed segments aim to sustain growth. Overall, earnings and operating profits are expected to grow supported by steady loan growth, margin stability, and manageable credit and operating costs.
