📊revenue
Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?
- Muthoot Microfin targets a CAGR of around 20% in asset under management (AUM) growth through to 2030, aiming to reach INR 30,000 crores by then.
- The FY27 AUM growth guidance is conservative at 12%-15%, with expectations to ramp up to approximately 23% CAGR from FY28 onwards.
- The calibration to 20% growth reflects a focus on qualitative and sustainable expansion given the increasing asset base (from INR 10,000 crores post-COVID to over INR 14,000 crores currently).
- Diversification into other products like MSME LAP, unsecured business loans, and gold loans supports growth and reduces microfinance cycle risks.
- Growth is by design to maintain asset quality and sustainable, consistent income streams.
- Branch and staff productivity improvements (disbursements per staff up from INR 7.6 lakhs to ~INR 12 lakhs monthly) and digital collections enhancement are expected to aid growth.
