Five-Star Business Finance (NBFC-ND-SI) reported FY26 total income of ₹3,24,597 lakh, up ~13% from ₹2,86,602 lakh last year, while profit after tax rose modestly to ₹1,09,875 lakh from ₹1,07,249 lakh (~2.4% growth). Basic EPS improved to ₹37.31 from ₹36.61, and net profit margin compressed to 33.85% from 37.42%. The board recommended a final dividend of ₹2 per share (200% on face value), with record date July 31, 2026. Asset quality weakened materially — Gross Stage 3 assets rose to 3.37% from 1.79%, and impairment on financial instruments nearly 2.5x to ₹21,632 lakh. Capital position remained strong with CRAR at 51.89% and debt-equity improving to 1.11x. Auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The board also extended CRO Jayaraman S's tenure by 3 years.
Modest profit growth, margin compression, and a sharp rise in NPAs and credit costs are negatives for the stock, though clean audit, healthy CRAR, and steady dividend are positives. Investors should watch asset-quality trends closely as impairment costs jumped sharply.
