Home First Finance Company India Ltd. was listed in February 2021. Ever since, it has managed to stand out among peers in the affordable housing finance space, consistently delivering 6–8% QoQ growth every quarter. This, in our view, is testament to its business' resiliency and management's ability to navigate external challenges arising from a rising rate cycle, regulatory changes (disbursements recognition on actual payment to customers rather than cheque issuance) and state-specific issues (e-khata issue in Karnataka).
