Q3Fy22 performance of Can Fin Homes:

The housing finance company logged remarkable quarter posting growth acceleration of 20% YoY, improvement in NIM as well as reduction in NPLs to pre‐pandemic level. Disbursements at the entity are also registering growth. With collection efficiency, better than pre‐Covid level, negligible impact from RBI circular, likely continuance of NPL recoveries and assessment of low slippages (7‐10%) from OTR pool, the credit cost is estimated to remain modest.

Brokerage's take on the company:

Can Fin's Q3 FY22 performance provides clarity on growth and margin trajectory. The brokerage's visits had revealed no material compromise on the quality of new business (in terms of credit score, occupation mix and sourcing mix) not withstanding co.'s higher housing loan rates. "Return of growth and preservation of strong profitability should re‐rate valuation (stock trades at 1.9x FY24 P/ABV). Current 1‐yr rolling fwd. P/ABV multiple stands well below the 5‐year average", notes the company.
