IRFC reported its highest-ever annual numbers for FY26, with PAT crossing INR7,000 crores and net interest margin improving to 1.50% from 1.42% (6% increase). The company sanctioned INR74,000 crores of assets (vs INR60,000 crore guidance) and disbursed INR35,000 crores (vs INR30,000 crore guidance). Assets under management grew to INR4.85 lakh crores from a flat INR4.6 lakh crores in prior years. Management highlighted its diversification strategy (IRFC 2.0), targeting a 60:40 mix between railway and non-railway business. New business generates margins of 100-120 bps compared to 40 bps for traditional railway assets. The company maintained zero NPA status and expects tax-free status to continue for another 5-7 years. For FY27, management set a target to cross INR5 lakh crores AUM and grow NIM by minimum 10% (to 1.65%), with double-digit growth targets for revenue, PAT, and EPS, but declined to provide specific numeric guidance.
Strong execution on diversification strategy with margins improving faster than expected. The shift to higher-margin non-railway business (currently 5% of AUM) could significantly boost NIM and ROA as the mix evolves. However, Q4 PAT was flat due to provisioning requirements for non-railway assets and higher CSR costs, indicating near-term margin pressure as the new portfolio scales up.
