CARE Ratings Limited submitted its monitoring agency report for Spandana Sphoorty Financial's ₹400 crore rights issue. In Q4FY26, no new funds were received or utilized. The company has received ₹199.35 crore so far (50% of issue size, after some invalid applications were rejected). All proceeds have been deployed towards augmenting capital base. The monitoring agency flagged significant concerns: the company has been reporting losses since Q2FY25 due to microfinance sector stress, with deterioration in asset quality and scale. Some financial covenants are breached, creating accelerated repayment risk for ₹42.7 crore in borrowings (waiver received for ₹27 crore). The current market price of ₹227 is below the issue price of ₹230 per share. However, the company showed improvement in H2FY26 with rising disbursements and better collection efficiency in newer loans under enhanced credit guardrails.
The report confirms proper utilization of rights issue proceeds but highlights ongoing financial stress in the microfinance business. While operations appear to be stabilizing, covenant breaches and consistent losses remain concerns for investors. The stock trading below issue price may weigh on shareholder sentiment.
