📈margin
Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?
- Growth is expected to remain comfortable and confident despite competition, supported by holding disbursements and improving collection efficiencies (Page 18).
- Operating expenses growth is expected to inch up slightly, with the operating expense ratio hovering between 2.8% and 3%, but should decline over time as investments yield benefits (Page 17).
- Margins are expected to improve gradually, approaching the long-term target of 7.5%, aided by pricing ability and product mix changes, despite borrowing costs stabilizing at current levels (Pages 6, 16).
- Credit costs are anticipated to remain stable or possibly decline compared to last year, driven by improving asset quality and higher provisioning coverage; NPAs are expected to trend lower or remain stable (Pages 14, 18).
- Growth is underpinned by diversification into pre-owned vehicles (17% of incremental sourcing) and disciplined lending to prime segments (Pages 17, 10).
Overall, earnings growth and profitability are expected to trend positively over the next quarters.
