PB Fintech’s (PBF) Q1FY26 tick marked all important growth parameters (65% in new health, 42% in core premium ex of savings, 47% in renewal revenue—all on YoY basis).

stage-3 saw a 15bps QoQ blip leading to higher provisions at 25bps (PLe 18bps). Disbursal growth was muted due to slower pass thru of rate cuts compared to banks and lower demand post repo cuts. While company maintained its double digit AuM growth guidance for FY26, we are cautious and factoring 7.2% AuM CAGR over FY25-27E since (1) competition from banks...

Federal Bank credit growth slowed down to 9% YoY vs 12% YoY (Q4FY25) vs 16% YoY (Q3FY25) due to reorientation of strategy towards fixed rate book. further, deposit growth declined to 8% YoY vs 12% YoY (FY25) led by term deposits.

Godrej Properties (GPL) has clocked robust Q1FY26 gross sales bookings of 6.2msf, worth INR 70.8bn, led by several new launches across Bengaluru and Greater Noida.

FB saw a soft quarter due to weaker NII/NIM and asset quality. Agri/MFI stress led to GNPA blip (provisions at 69bps vs avg. 40-45bps).
