Should You Invest in Muthoot Finance?
Brokerages remain largely positive on the stock despite the recent dip.
Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities maintained its ‘Buy’ rating and raised the target price to Rs 2,693 (from Rs 2,680), citing a 13.3% premium to the five-year average price-to-adjusted book value (P/ABV) multiple of 2.65 for the standalone business.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) noted that Muthoot delivered a strong operational performance in Q4, driven by robust gold loan growth, increased gold tonnage, and healthy customer additions. However, margins contracted sequentially due to higher borrowing costs, although yield pressure remained minimal. Asset quality improved, aided by gold auctions that helped reduce credit costs.
Looking ahead, MOFSL said Muthoot is well-positioned to sustain loan growth amid reduced competition from banks and limited availability of unsecured credit. However, it warned that uncertainty around final RBI guidelines on gold lending could be a short-term drag on the stock, setting a target price of Rs 2,400.
Nuvama Institutional Equities also retained its ‘Buy’ recommendation, raising its target price to Rs 2,625 (from Rs 2,550), based on 3.1x FY26E book value. Nuvama highlighted that NBFCs have suggested changes to the draft RBI guidelines on loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, which could benefit both lenders and borrowers.
