The full read
Moneyboxx Finance is recalibrating its growth and risk profile. During its May 29 conference call, management lowered the FY27 AUM target to ₹1,285 crore, a significant drop from the ₹1,500-1,800 crore range previously discussed. The company also reported a Gross NPA of 3.59%, which breaches the 2% ceiling management had previously assured. Profitability remains thin, with a full-year PAT of just ₹1.34 crore. To address these pressures, the company is pivoting toward secured lending, aiming for 80% of its AUM to be secured by March 2027. It also launched a renewable energy product backed by a Shell Foundation guarantee. The open question is whether this strategic shift will be enough to improve asset quality and restore the growth trajectory that management previously projected.
