Brokerage views on M&M Financial Services

Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL)

M&M Financial Services delivered a soft quarter with tepid disbursements resulting in muted growth in assets under management (AUM). Net interest margins (NIMs) also decline on a sequential basis due to moderation in yields. On the asset quality front, there was no improvement despite Q4 being a seasonally strong quarter, while write-offs and loan losses remain elevated, MOFSL said in a note.  ALSO READ | M&M shares rallies 10% in 4 days on healthy outlook.

"The outlook on loan growth and credit costs remains uncertain, with more clarity expected only at the end of Q1FY26. We believe this will be the true acid test for vehicle financiers," the brokerage added.

Elara Capital 

M&M Financial Services' Q4 earnings disappointed on several counts including a sharp increase in the provision and elevated operational expenses (opex) that affected the bottomline. Margins suffered on the back of elevated funding costs and a rejig in loan management systems, said Elara Capital in a research note. 

  The subdued performance is expected to continue amidst weak demand for automobiles due to macroeconomic headwinds. Management expects tractors and non-wheels to drive growth, with contribution from non-wheels estimated to increase from the current 7 per cent to 25 per cent in future.

M&M Financial reported muted growth and profitability in the March 2025 quarter, with key figures largely in line with estimates. However, PAT was 5 per cent below the consensus estimates. Despite the continuous efforts by the management to diversify into other verticals, the company remained dominated by wheels at around 93 per cent. This is expected to restrict growth in the near-term as the newer segments are still too small to drive AUM growth.  ALSO READ | Aurobindo Pharma in focus: Why has the stock gained 3% in trade today?

 

"Ahead, a sticky opex and marginal normalization in credit cost from the current superior levels are likely to limit scope for improvement in return on assets (RoA), driven by NIM and fee expansion on account of increasing fee yield and moderating cost of funds (CoFs)," the brokerage said in a note.
