Poonawalla Fincorp reported a strong Q4 FY26 with AUM at ₹60,348 crore (69.4% YoY growth). Net Interest Margin expanded to 9.05% from 8.62% in Q3, achieving the company's earlier 3-4 quarter guidance in just 3 quarters. PAT grew 70% sequentially to ₹255 crore, while Return on Assets improved sharply to 1.81% (vs 0.78% in Q4 FY25), described by management as their 'North Star' metric. Credit costs declined to 2.51% with GNPA at 1.44%. Operating expense ratio fell to 4.13% from 4.76%, reflecting structural operating leverage. The company has deployed 400 gold branches and launched six new business lines contributing 24% of disbursements. On AI, 42 of 76 planned projects are deployed with token consumption exceeding 30 million/month. A ₹2,500 crore capital raise via QIP was completed in April 2026, reducing proforma debt-equity to 3.78x.
The quarter marks a significant inflection point with margin restoration ahead of guidance, strong ROA improvement, and declining credit costs. The company appears to be harvesting investments in technology and new businesses while maintaining disciplined risk calibration. The ₹2,500 crore capital raise provides growth headroom.
