Investment Rationale
ICICI Securities notes that subdued AUM growth in H1FY26, rising borrowing cost and sticky operating cost (C-I ratio at ~70% in Q4FY25) would keep PPoP muted in the near-term; however, they believe stressed asset formation has peaked out and credit cost?s improving trajectory shall continue ahead. Early recognition of stress and accelerated provisions (>95% PCR on Stage-3 assets with NNPL at 0.30%, as on Mar?25), capital infusion via rights (proforma CRAR at ~30%+), X bucket CE increasing to 98.4% in Mar?25 (from 97.1% in Q3FY25) and gradual normalisation of disbursements over FY26 would enable recovery in earnings over FY26E?27E. Given inexpensive valuation (PBV at 0.9x FY27E BVPS) and encouraging signs of new initiatives yielding positive outcomes, the brokerage upgrades to BUY (Reduce earlier) with a revised target price of Rs 225 (earlier Rs 160), valuing the stock at 1.2x Sep-26E BVPS (earlier 0.6x Sep-25E BVPS).
Promoter/FII Holdings
Promoters held 57.71 per cent stake in the company as of 31-Mar-2025, while FIIs owned 1.69 per cent, DIIs 16.91 per cent.

Smartphone Revenues Surpass Record Rs 8.7 Lakh Crore In April-June Globally
New Delhi: The smartphone revenues worldwide grew 10 per cent (year-on-year) in the April-June quarter (Q2 2025) to exceed $100 billion (more than Rs 8.7 lakh crore) -- the highest level in a second calendar quarter to date, according to a new report. In contrast, global shipments saw a meagre 3 per cent (on-year) rise during the quarter, according to Counterpoint Research's latest Market Monitor service. Meanwhile, the global average selling price (ASP) also hit a second-quarter peak, rising 7 per cent YoY in Q2 to approach $350. The market witnessed both volume and value growth despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds in several key regions. Amid the easing out of US tariffs, OEMs benefitted from robust demand for premium devices, especially in developed markets, said senior analyst Shilpi Jain. Premiumisation has accelerated beyond earlier projections, propelled by expanded access to financing options, enhanced trade-in initiatives, and heightened promotional activities – all of which are effectively lowering the barrier to entry for higher-end devices. According to Research Director Jeff Fieldhack, Apple strengthened its lead in revenues driven by strong performance of the 16 series across geographies, benefitting from the broader premiumisation trend. 'Shipments in the US were front-loaded in the quarter due to tariff uncertainties. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16e drove sales in Japan, making it one of the fastest growing regions for Apple. Emerging markets like Middle East Africa, and India continue to show strong growth,' he mentioned. Samsung retained its leadership position in terms of global smartphone shipments in Q2 2025, while its revenue grew 4 per cent YoY. The brand's growth was largely driven by strong demand for its refreshed mid-tier A-series devices across regions, while the Galaxy S25 series, along with the newly added S25 Edge, drove volumes in the premium segment. 'Looking ahead, we expect the premiumisation trend to continue, with revenue growth outpacing volume growth in 2025. Additionally, growing interest in GenAI smartphones and foldable form factors will likely offer significant growth opportunities for the smartphone market,' the report mentioned.

'Fulfilled promise to avenge Pahalgam terror attack with blessings of Mahadev...': PM Modi's BIG statement on Op Sindoor
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses a public gathering in Varanasi, UP on Saturday. (ANI Photo) Operation Sindoor: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his promise to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack through Operation Sindoor was fulfilled with the blessings of Lord Shiva. 'My heart was filled with sorrow for the 26 people who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack,' Modi said while addressing a public meeting in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi. 'My promise to avenge 'Sindoor' of our daughters was fulfilled with blessings of Mahadev,' he said, adding, 'I dedicate the success of Operation Sindoor at the feet of Mahadev.' The prime minister also stressed that the 'unity of 140 crore countrymen' became the 'strength of Operation Sindoor'. PM urges Indians to adopt 'swadeshi' Meanwhile, Modi also called upon citizens to adopt the spirit of 'swadeshi' and support locally-made products, stressing that true service to the nation lies in promoting indigenous goods, especially amid 'global economic uncertainties'. Addressing a public meeting in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi, Modi said, 'As we talk about economic progress, I want to draw your attention to the current global scenario. 'The world economy is facing instability and uncertainty. In such times, countries are focusing solely on their own interests. India, too, is on the path to becoming the world's third-largest economy and must remain alert to its own economic priorities.' Emphasising that farmers, small industries, and employment for youth are the top-most priorities for the government, Modi said, 'The government is doing everything possible in this direction. But as citizens, we too have responsibilities.' The prime minister's renewed push for 'swadeshi' (indigenous) comes amid the US announcing tariffs on exports from about 70 nations, including India. According to the White House order, India now faces tariffs of 25 per cent for its exports to the US. PM Modi in Varanasi The prime minister is in Varanasi — his Lok Sabha constituency for the third term running — to inaugurate and lay foundation for development projects worth over Rs 2,000 crore and to distribute the 20th installment of the PM KISAN Samman Nidhi worth Rs 20,500 crore to over 9.70 eligible farmers nationwide.
