Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd

CHOLAFIN
Conglomerate Backed NBFC

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd compounds quietly. Returns above 15% and growth without drama — priced like it.

The sharpest disagreement: Foreign institutions moved −2.2 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (5 weeks in) while the P/BV sits at the 61st percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +45.5% year on year, with the the net margin at 18.7%. What settles it: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd trades at ₹1,850, in a confirmed uptrend and 5 weeks into that stage. That is +13.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹1,416 to ₹1,850. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 11 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 5 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,850 it trades +13.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹1,416–₹1,850).

Jul 26: ₹1,850 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (546 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the NIFTY 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the NIFTY 500 reading is not held.

Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +1,280% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 11 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation For a bank we price the book, not the earnings: P/BV is what the market pays for each ₹1 of the bank's net worth. A bank below 1× book is priced below the value of what it owns, net of what it owes.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd trades at 5.2× P/BV, mid-range by its own standards (61st percentile). Its long-run median P/BV is 4.7×, measured across 10.4 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/BV of 5.2× is mid-range by its own standards (61st percentile), against a long-run median of 4.7× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

PEG 0.95 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 8 quarters.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +30.0% — price and book moved together, holding the multiple in its range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +31.2%/yr price move, ~+25.1%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+6.1 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +23.8%/yr price move, ~+22.6%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+1.2 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus book-value growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · Stage: Consistent

Stage: Consistent Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROE at 18.9% and holding. The read is built from 11 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +20.2% in FY26, profit +22.8% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

59.8/100 — rank 1 of 8 in Conglomerate Backed NBFC · 82% evidence confidence

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd scores 59.8 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in Conglomerate Backed NBFC, ranking 1. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 23.9 + 18.7 + 7.7 + 9.5 = 59.8. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue For a bank, revenue is everything the franchise earns — interest on the loan book plus fee and other income.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd reported ₹8,856 Cr of income in the Jun 26 quarter, +21.9% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 22.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹31,120 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹32,662 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹31,120 Cr (+20.2% on the year), capping 10 years at 22.1% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹8,856 Cr, +21.9% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +19.6% growth against the decade's 22.1% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +19.6% over the last 4 quarters against +25.2%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +29.1% vs +25.4%/yr — accelerating.

06 · Net margin

Net margin Net margin — what the bank keeps of every ₹100 of revenue after every cost, provision and tax. It is the cleanest single margin we can read for a lender.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd's net margin is 18.7% in the Jun 26 quarter, +3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 11.2% to 21.2%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's net margin is 18.7%, +3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 11.2%–21.2%.

Why: the numbers show the net margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd earned ₹1,656 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +45.5% year on year. It is the 11th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹5,233 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 24.7%. That is 18.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹1,138 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹1,656 Cr, +45.5% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹5,233 Cr (+22.8%), and the 10-year compound rate is 24.7%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +21.9% and the margin +3.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +28.6% vs revenue +19.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

08 · Asset quality — the ladder

Asset quality — the ladder Gross NPA is the slice of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what remains after the money already set aside against those loans. Falling is healing; rising is damage arriving.

Loan-book quality history is not available for Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd, so this section names the gap rather than estimating a ratio. No gross or net non-performing-asset series is filed in a form this page can read, and none is inferred from the profit line.

We do not hold quarterly loan-book quality numbers for this bank, so this section states that plainly rather than working around it.

Why: loan-book quality is the engine room of a bank, and its drivers — slippages, recoveries, provisioning — sit below what we hold for this name; the sections around it carry the reads we can stand behind.

09 · The loan book

The loan book We read the loan book through revenue — when the book grows, revenue grows with it. It is a rough proxy, and we say so: rate moves and fee swings can shift it a few points in any one year.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd's revenue grew +20.2% in FY26 to ₹31,120 Cr, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +21.9% year on year. The net margin on that income is 18.7%, +3.0 percentage points against a year ago.

FY26 revenue was ₹31,120 Cr, +20.2% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +21.9% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 18.7% this quarter (+3.0 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.

FY26: revenue ₹31,120 Cr (+20.2% YoY) with the net margin at 16.8% Revenue by fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars, left); net margin, % (line, right). 11-year window. A bar is red when it is lower than the year before.

The synthesis: a lender compounds when the book grows while the margin holds and the loan book stays clean — gross NPA is the loan-quality read we carry here.

10 · Returns on equity and assets

Returns on equity and assets Two numbers rate a bank: ROE — what it earns on shareholder money — and ROA — what it earns on everything it deploys. ROE above ~13–15% earns its keep; below that, growth builds book slowly.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd earns a return on equity of 19% in FY26. Its trough over the ladder below was 15% in FY20. For a lender the balance sheet is the operating asset, so equity return and asset return have to be read together.

FY26 ROE came in at 19%, recovered from a FY20 trough of 15%. On assets, the latest reading is about null% — every ₹100 the bank deploys earns roughly null a year. That clears the bar a bank must beat for its book value to compound.

FY26: ROE 19%, ROA 2.30% Return on equity by fiscal year, % (line, left); return on assets, % (line, right). 13-year window. A lender is judged on ROE and ROA — return on invested capital does not apply to a bank.

Why ROE moved: profit compounded 24.7% a year over 10 years while the equity base grew more slowly — earnings recovering faster than book value builds is what lifts ROE off a trough.

11 · Debt

Debt

For a bank, borrowings are raw material, not a warning sign — solvency is read through the returns and the loan book. A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits, so the debt-to-equity lens that works everywhere else misleads on a lender and is not applied here.

A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits; a bank’s borrowings are its inventory — money taken in to be lent out. The debt lens that works everywhere else misleads here, so this page does not apply it. The solvency questions for a bank — is the loan book sound, is the equity earning — are read through the loan-book and returns sections above.

12 · Ownership

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Domestic institutions added 3.8 points of Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 20.6% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −2.2 points over the same window, to 24.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +3.8 points over 8 quarters to 20.6%; Foreign institutions: −2.2 points over 8 quarters to 24.5%; Promoters: −1.1 points over 8 quarters to 49.2%.

Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions −2.2 points against domestic institutions +3.8 points over 8 quarters, with promoters −1.1 points — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −1.1 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

13 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre. The Z-score was built for manufacturers and is not applied to banks and lenders, so solvency here is read from the capital and asset-quality lines instead.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre.

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.
