Five-Star Business Finance share price today

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd's share price was ₹397.15 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been falling for 1 week. That is 22.3% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹351 and ₹646, and at that close it sat 16% of the way up from that low.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Five-Star Business Finance Ltd is in stage 4. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the NIFTY 500, and it has been behind for 6 weeks running.

Over the last 3.9 years the share price moved −23% while the NIFTY 500 moved +37%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 25 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Three changes stood out: foreign funds (FIIs) cut their stake for 6 quarters in a row, indian funds and insurers (DIIs) raised their stake for 6 quarters in a row and revenue up on a year earlier for 12 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare).

1. Foreign funds (FIIs) cut their stake for 6 quarters in a row

   From 58.8% to 43.5% of the company by the September 2026 quarter.

2. Indian funds and insurers (DIIs) raised their stake for 6 quarters in a row

   From 9.1% to 23.5% of the company by the September 2026 quarter.

3. Revenue up on a year earlier for 12 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare)

   In the September 2026 quarter revenue was ₹858 crore, +7.4% on a year earlier.

From the call for July to September 2026, 26 October 2026.

When Five-Star Business Finance reports October to December 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: November-December disbursement pickup after muted October - check whether seasonal strength sustains historical-best momentum.

Five-Star Business Finance is not on any of our India lists this week.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd earned ₹299 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +4.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,099 Cr. Over 9 years profit has grown 57.0% a year on average. That is 34.8% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹286 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹1,099 Cr (+2.5% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +7.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +1.0% and revenue +8.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd reported ₹858 Cr of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +7.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 9 years it has grown 49.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,218 Cr.

For a bank, revenue is everything it earns: interest on its loans plus fees and other income.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,319 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹3,218 Cr, +13.0% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +8.3% on average, against 49.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +8.3%, against +14.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +1.0%, against +7.1% a year (rolling over).

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd's net margin was 34.8% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 years it has been between 22.1% and 39.7%. The latest quarter is within that range.

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

Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd's gross NPA, the share of loans that have stopped being repaid, is 3.48% in Sep 2026, up from 2.64% a year ago. After the money already set aside for bad loans, 2.14% is left (net NPA). Across the 9 quarters on file it has been between 1.47% and 3.48%.

Gross NPA is the share of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what is left after the money the lender has already set aside for those loans. Falling is good; rising is a warning.

Falling bad loans mean the loan book is healing; rising ones mean new damage.

In Sep 2026, gross NPA was 3.48% and net NPA 2.14%, against 2.64% and 1.46% a year ago.

In short: a lender's profit growth is only as good as its loans, and this loan book is not yet clearly improving. Quarterly detail on money set aside for bad loans is not in our data yet, so this shows the levels and the trend, not the cost of the clean-up.

Why bad loans moved: recoveries, write-offs and new bad loans all play a part. That split is not in our data, so the page shows the trend without the breakdown.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd's revenue was ₹3,218 Cr in FY26, +13.0% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +7.4% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 34.8%, −1.0 percentage points on a year ago.

We read the loan book through revenue: when the book grows, revenue grows with it. It is only a rough guide, because interest-rate changes and fee swings can move it a few points in any year.

Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year.

In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Gross NPA is the loan-quality figure this page uses.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd's P/BV is 1.5×, about the lowest it has ever been. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 3.9×, over 3.7 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

For a bank or lender we compare the price with book value, the net worth on its balance sheet. P/BV is how many rupees the market pays for each ₹1 of that net worth. Below 1× means the market values it at less than its net worth.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −38.5%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −19.2% a year; about +17.5% a year came from book-value growth and about −36.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROE is steady at 14.1%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the share price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd earned a return on equity of 16% in FY26. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 9% in FY17. On its assets, every ₹100 earned about ₹7.07, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together.

Two numbers rate a bank: ROE, what it earns on shareholders’ money, and ROA, what it earns on all its assets. An ROE above about 13 to 15% is healthy; below that, net worth grows slowly.

That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily.

Why ROE moved: profit grew 57.0% a year over 9 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low.

For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead.

For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here.

Domestic institutions raised their stake in Five-Star Business Finance Ltd by 14.5 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 23.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −13.2 points over the same period, to 43.5%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings.

Who owns the company each quarter: promoters (the founders or controlling owners), foreign institutions, domestic institutions such as mutual funds, and the public. When people close to the business steadily raise their stake, that is worth noticing; a quiet list is also an answer.

Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +14.5 points over 8 quarters, to 23.5%; Foreign institutions: −13.2 points over 8 quarters, to 43.5%; Promoters: −3.0 points over 8 quarters, to 18.6%. Promoters own under 20%, so this is a widely owned company where institutions, not a family, have the most say.

Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −13.2 points and domestic institutions +14.5 points over 8 quarters, while promoters moved −3.0 points. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company.

For Five-Star Business Finance Ltd, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

46.6 out of 100, rank 4 of 6 in Finance & Investments - MSME Lending, with 85% of the evidence available.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd scores 46.6 out of 100 against the 6 companies it is compared with in Finance & Investments - MSME Lending, ranking 4. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer.

The four parts add up to the total exactly: 5.1 + 20.8 + 11.6 + 9.1 = 46.6. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here.

What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector.

Five-Star Business Finance ranks 4 of 6 Finance & Investments - MSME Lending companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 46.6 out of 100.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
