Shriram Finance rises 3% on Q1 results; Should you buy, sell or hold?
Shriram Finance share price today: Shares of Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) Shriram Finance rose nearly 4 per cent on Monday, on the NSE, after the company posted its Q1 results. The stock touched an intra-day high of ₹637.9. At 10:05 AM, Shriram Finance's share price was trading 3.52 per cent higher at ₹637.50 per share on the NSE. In comparison, NSE Nifty50 was down 0.07 per cent at 24,820 levels. The market capitalisation of the company stood at ₹1.19 trillion. Shriram Finance Q1 results Shriram Finance's standalone net interest income for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025, rose 12.55 per cent to ₹6,026.43 crore compared to ₹5,354.47 crore in the year-ago period. The company's profit after tax (PAT) increased by 8.84 per cent to ₹2,155.73 crore as against ₹1,980.59 crore recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. It reported earnings per share of ₹11.46, up 8.73 per cent from ₹10.54 in Q1FY25. Shriram Finance Q1 results analysis: JM Financial According to analysts at JM Financial, Shriram Finance's well-diversified and predominantly secured product portfolio continues to deliver strong growth and profitability post-merger. However, citing the near-term pressure on net interest margins NIMs, the brokerage revised its FY26 NIM estimate downward by 34 basis points (bps), leading to a 3 per cent to 5 per cent cut in EPS estimates for FY26–28E. "We now build in average RoA/RoE of 3 per cent/16 per cent over FY26–27E and maintain our 'Buy' rating with a revised target price of ₹730, valuing the stock at 1.9x FY27E BVPS," the brokerage said. ICICI Securities According to ICICI Securities, the company's core operating performance in the June 2025 quarter remained strong with NII growth at 4 per cent Q-o-Q/10 per cent Y-o-Y and a sequential easing in credit cost to 1.9 per cent compared to 2.4 per cent Q-o-Q. "Amid a challenging operating environment, especially in certain segments such as MSME, entry-level PV and used CV, credit cost moderation in Q1FY26 reflects its business resiliency and risk management," the brokerage said in a note. It further highlighted management commentary that an uptick in early buckets (Stage-2 assets) is transitory (cashflow mismatch at the borrower level is due to seasonality and not stress); hence, it expects asset quality (mainly Stage-3 assets) to remain strong in FY26. ICICI Securities has maintained a 'Hold' on Shriram Finance with an unchanged target of ₹640.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Falls 6% After Q1 Profit Dips 7% YoY; Should You Invest?
Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a decline in net profit for the June quarter of FY26, despite a healthy 6% year-on-year (YoY) growth in NII Kotak Mahindra Bank Shares: Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank dropped 6.5% to an intraday low of Rs 1,986.55 on the BSE in early trade on Monday, July 28, after the lender reported a 7% year-on-year decline in standalone net profit for Q1FY26. The profit fell to Rs 3,282 crore from Rs 3,520 crore in the same quarter last year, triggering investor concerns. Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a decline in net profit for the June quarter of FY26, despite a healthy 6% year-on-year (YoY) growth in Net Interest Income (NII), which rose to Rs 7,259 crore from Rs 6,842 crore in Q1FY25. The drop in profit was primarily due to a steep 109% YoY rise in provisions and contingencies, which stood at Rs 1,208 crore. Net Interest Margin (NIM) remained strong at 4.65% but saw a 32 basis points (bps) quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) contraction due to pressure from lower lending rates and a rising contribution from the low-yielding corporate book. Credit growth was healthy at 14% YoY, but margin compression impacted overall profitability. Management indicated that NIM pressure may persist in Q2 as the full impact of the 50 bps repo rate cut flows through, but expects a gradual recovery thereafter, supported by a reduction in costs, including savings account (SA) rates. Asset quality weakened in the quarter, with slippages rising to 1.9% due to stress in microfinance institutions (MFI), retail commercial vehicles (CV), and Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loans. At 9:15 a.m., shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank were trading at Rs 2,013.3 on the NSE, down 5.3%. Brokerages reacted cautiously to the Q1 performance, pointing to weak profitability and asset quality concerns: Nomura maintained a 'Neutral' rating with a target price of Rs 2,150. It lowered FY26–28 EPS estimates by 3–7%, citing concerns around NIM compression and rising credit costs. Nomura noted that the stock trades at 1.9x FY27 book value, indicating limited near-term upside. Morgan Stanley retained an 'Overweight' rating with a target of Rs 2,600. While it was encouraged by the bank's above-industry growth, it flagged the drop in NIMs and rise in non-performing loans. It expects Q2 to remain tough but sees earnings gaining momentum from H2. Motilal Oswal reiterated a 'Buy' rating but trimmed its target to Rs 2,400. It expects NIM to bottom out in Q2FY26, followed by recovery due to the full impact of rate transmission, deposit repricing, and CRR benefits. The brokerage also expects growth in the unsecured lending segment to aid margins and profitability. Bernstein, however, maintained a 'Market Perform' rating with a target of Rs 1,950. It believes continued stress on asset quality and elevated credit costs will weigh on the stock's valuation. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 10:25 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
