Nifty Finance & Investments - Microfinance Index — Constituents & Performance
The Finance & Investments - Microfinance companies below are the listed Indian Finance & Investments - Microfinance universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Finance & Investments - Microfinance index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.
How has Finance & Investments - Microfinance moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 14% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 22% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 14 weeks running.
RS ↑14w · 7/7 >200d (+0) · 7/7 lead (+0) · EPS 7/7↑
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 7 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Is Finance & Investments - Microfinance outperforming NIFTY 500?
Finance & Investments - Microfinance has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 31% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 20.7%. 7 of 7 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Satin Creditcare Network Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +14.7%.
Sector metric: 28.2 as of 2026-07-19 · CONSOLIDATION · falling.
The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Finance & Investments - Microfinance has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 31% over 52 weeks and 20.7% over 13 weeks. 7 of 7 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 7 beat the sector itself. CreditAccess Grameen Ltd leads with income of ₹6,378 crore, based on 7 of 7 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Satin Creditcare Network Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Finance & Investments - Microfinance at +59.9%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +37.3%. 7 of 7 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-07-31.
Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind NIFTY 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS NIFTY 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Finance & Investments - Microfinance itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Income Scale & Growth Durability
CreditAccess Grameen Ltd has the highest Income among the 7 Finance & Investments - Microfinance companies compared here, at ₹6,378 crore. Satin Creditcare Network Ltd is next at ₹3,210 crore. Northern Arc Capital Ltd has the highest Income growth at 21.1%, so level and change sit with different companies. Its Income series carries 20 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: CreditAccess Grameen Ltd is the scale leader at ₹6,378 crore, 98.7% ahead of Satin Creditcare Network Ltd. Northern Arc Capital Ltd's growth is 21.1% from a ₹2,870 crore base, with 13 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: CreditAccess Grameen Ltd is the scale benchmark; Northern Arc Capital Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: CreditAccess Grameen Ltd's growth falls below Northern Arc Capital Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Funding Base & Its Composition
No company in this Finance & Investments - Microfinance comparison reports a funding base figure this section can compare, so the Deposits rank is empty. On Borrowings, CreditAccess Grameen Ltd is highest at ₹23,641 crore, across 7 of 7 companies with a usable reading.
What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable deposits leader.
Investor read: The current leader sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current borrowings signal.

Withheld from this chart: Northern Arc Capital Ltd (NORTHARC) — its two data sources disagree by up to 20% on reported income across 12 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Fusion Finance Ltd (FUSION) — its two data sources disagree by up to 4.9% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Spandana Sphoorty Financial Ltd (SPANDANA) — its two data sources disagree by up to 6.9% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Satin Creditcare Network Ltd has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 7 Finance & Investments - Microfinance companies compared here, at 0.08×. Northern Arc Capital Ltd is next at 0.11×. The same company also holds the lowest P/BV, at 0.93×. 6 of 7 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Satin Creditcare Network Ltd has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.08×, 27.3% below Northern Arc Capital Ltd. Only 6 of 7 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Finance & Investments - Microfinance comparison names 8 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 7 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 draws at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 3 have second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
- 1 company draws at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears.
- 3 companies are missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.
- Thin comparisons: Funding base have fewer than three usable current readings.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 7 Finance & Investments - Microfinance companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-31.
How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees
A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from.
