InCred Equities added Shriram Finance to its high-conviction list as it believes the company is well-positioned to dodge the slowdown in the vehicle finance sector versus its peers. The brokerage expects the declining interest rate scenario to be beneficial to the non-banking financial company, it said in a note Dec. 07.
Net interest margin is set to improve in fiscal 2026, led by strong asset under-management growth, falling interest rates and improving system liquidity, it said. The brokerage "finds comfort in the asset quality trend improving in the non-vehicle loan book."
The recent 20% correction in the stock price amid sluggishness in the vehicle industry has overplayed, InCred Equities said. "Shriram Finance is much better placed than its larger peers."
Slower-than-expected growth and a spike in fresh loan slippage are the key risks for the analyst's estimates, it said.
Shriram Finance's stock rose as much as 1.77% during the day to Rs 3,022 apiece on the NSE. It was trading 0.22% higher at Rs 2,976 apiece, compared to a 0.53% advance in the benchmark Nifty 50 as of 11:06 a.m.
The shares have risen 35% during the last 12 months. The relative strength index was at 47.
Thirty-nine out of the 41 analysts tracking the company have a 'buy' rating on the stock, one suggests a 'hold' and one has a 'sell', according to Bloomberg data. The average of 12-month analyst price targets implies a potential upside of 22.8%.
