India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd

Finance - Housing

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +32.1% in a year against a −25.5% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +32.1% against a −25.5% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.

The price is in a downtrend (8 weeks in) while the P/BV sits at the 1st percentile of its own 3-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +27.8% year on year, and gross NPA has moved to 1.25%. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 17% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, the quarterly return-on-equity and return-on-assets curves, the annual return-on-assets overlay and the F-score are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.
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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd trades at ₹652, in a downtrend and 8 weeks into that stage. That is −14.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 1% of a 52-week range of ₹650 to ₹884. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (8 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 8 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹652 it trades −14.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 1% of its 52-week range (₹650–₹884).

Sep 26: ₹652 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 2023 Each cell is one week from 2023 to now (148 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.

Dec 23Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2.7 years the stock moved +19% while the NIFTY 500 moved +18% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (8 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-17) — 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.

Story check

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd's story is not scored yet against the markers our research file set on 17 August 2026. Where it sits in its own cycle: Post-IPO affordable-housing expansion with soft growth reset and oscillating Stage-3 prints. Marker count: 20 not due yet.

NOT YET CHECKED20 not due yet · first check at the next results

From the numbers. FY27-Q1 PAT 143 crore rupees, ROE 17.5 percent, Stage 3 back at 1.5 percent with write-off rupees still a GAP.

From the price. Dual price-to-book 2.28 and 2.55 versus own median about 3.1 — compressed setup flags only.

From the research. WestBridge control near 46 percent and AA- stack intact; AUM guide cut and results-day minus 7 percent keep credibility capped.

🚨 Where they disagree. Book multiple looks compressed versus own history, but Black Box disclosure gaps and Stage-3 oscillation block an earned depressed-breakout read.

What is proven. AUM at 11,284 crore rupees, mid-teen ROE near 17 to 17.5 percent, credit cost inside 40 to 50 basis points, BT-out near 4 percent, AA- Stable funding, and promoter encumbrance cleared to 0 percent by June 2026

What is not proven yet. Whether Stage 3 can stay down without write-off rupee disclosure, whether assignment day-1 gains are small or material to profit, and whether the AUM guide cut to 25 to 30 percent is prudence or weaker demand

🚨 What would change our mind. FY26 and quarterly write-off rupees beside Stage 3, assignment day-1 rupees as a share of profit, and Stage 3 at or below 1.2 percent for two quarters without disclosure fog

The test written in advance. Stage-3 recovery with disclosure — Gross Stage 3 and same-period write-off rupees Stage 3 at or below 1.2 percent AND write-off rupees disclosed for the quarter by FY27-Q3 results around November 2026.

The test written in advance. Write-off ledger catch-up — FY26 full-year write-off rupees and Q1 FY27 write-off rupees Both printed beside Stage 3 in IR notes or annual report by Next annual report notes or FY27-Q2 deck.

The test written in advance. Assignment day-1 bridge — Day-1 assignment gain rupees as percent of PAT or PPoP Quarterly split of day-1 gain versus servicing fee published by FY27-Q2 results around November 2026.

What the company does. India Shelter lends secured home loans and loans against property in smaller cities, funds them with banks NHB and bonds, and sells some LAP pools to banks while keeping most housing loans on its own books.

How the money is made. Net profit equals AUM times lending spread plus fees and assignment accounting minus operating expenses minus credit cost minus tax.

AUM guide cut and recognition-policy change
FY23-Q3FY27-Q1
  • FY27-Q1 — Results-day about minus 7 percent on optics and Stage-3 re-uptick

🚨 Did the business cover its own costs? Operating profit covered Credit-cost charge and write-offs against pre-provision operating profit in 2 of 6 periods; cumulatively . Two annual periods clear the provision-coverage test; the write-off leg and the quarterly series do not.

Where each reading sits inside its own range
Price to book2.28x (alt 2.55x)own median about 3.1x 3.1
2.0x
own median about 3.1x2.28x (alt 2.55x)
4.0x

The dot is where the company is now; the dashed line is the level that would settle the question; a tinted band is where management says it is heading.

🚨 Compressed book multiple versus unfinished asset-quality disclosure. Price-to-book sits below own median on both 2.28 and 2.55 prints, yet FY26 and Q1 write-off rupees beside Stage 3 are still missing. The market can look early while the research still lacks the loss-flow ledger.

🚨 Reported disbursements versus bank clearance. Management changed recognition from cheque handover to bank clearance. Reported 641 crore rupees versus clearance about 1,040 crore rupees. The tape sold the headline; the call sold the optics story. Proof arrives only when remaining FY27 quarters show clearance and AUM inside the new guide.

🚨 Ex-DA profit strength versus headline PAT. Ex-assignment accounting PAT growth about 30 percent versus reported 20 percent. That can mean either cleaner underlying earnings or a larger hidden DA swing. Without day-1 rupees, both readings stay open.

🚨 FII selling tag versus Jun shareholding flatline. Cycle snapshot tagged FII selling after the Sep 2025 to Mar 2026 cut from 8.02 to 6.87 percent. Jun holding was flat and DII rose. The historical tag is real; an active dump into the dive date is not.

🚨 Guide delivery then guide cut. FY26 AUM grew about 29 percent — near the old 30 to 35 percent band — then management cut the medium-term guide to 25 to 30 percent. That is either prudence after a soft industry tape or an admission that the old ambition is faded.

What is temporary, what is cyclical, what is structural
KindWhat sits here
TemporaryDisbursement recognition change (641 versus about 1,040 crore rupees clearance) and results-day minus about 7 percent optics; Q4 FY26 Stage-2 overlay of 5 crore rupees inside the credit-cost print
CyclicalIndustry soft patch in disbursement growth through FY26; rate-cycle effects on BT-out (so far contained near 4 percent); seasonal Jun Stage-3 noise possible but not proven
StructuralSelf-employed heavy origination, top-3 state concentration near 56 percent, young book seasoning about 65 percent of AUM from last two years, LAP-only DA as a standing earnings-filter risk, thick post-IPO CRAR that still under-uses leverage
Company-specificFormal AUM guide cut 30 to 35 percent to 25 to 30 percent; WestBridge control with NDU cleared; first-dive with no pipeline history and no prior dossier
Named temporary items explain the disbursement headline gap and part of the tape move; they do not reconcile the Stage-3 re-uptick or the missing write-off and day-1 rupees — those remain unexplained disclosure gaps, not temporary noise

Lever 1 · Operating leverage — ACTIVE. Opex growing slower than AUM; cost-to-income near 36 percent; ROE climbed from about 14 percent post-IPO toward 17.5 percent while gearing stays near 2 times. What proves it keeps working: Opex to AUM still falling through FY27 while ROE holds mid-teens. It stops working if Opex growth outrunning AUM for two quarters while ROE falls below 15 percent.

Lever 11 · Selling more to existing customers — ACTIVE. Retention work cut BT-out from about 6.5 percent toward about 4 percent even in an easing-rate tape. What proves it keeps working: BT-out holds near 4 percent or better each quarter of FY27. It stops working if BT-out back above 6 percent for two quarters.

Lever 2 · Value-added mix — BUILDING. LAP share near low-forties of gross AUM and LAP-only DA create yield and funding flexibility — and earnings-quality fog until day-1 gains are sized. What proves it keeps working: Quarterly day-1 DA gain rupees disclosed and not rising as the main PAT engine. It stops working if Day-1 gains shown as the majority of PAT growth.

Lever 10 · New geographies — BUILDING. Branch count past 300 across 15 states; CARE flags top-3 states near 56 percent and a young book — seasoning risk travels with expansion. What proves it keeps working: Early-bucket and Stage 3 by state show new geographies not worse than mature book. It stops working if New-state Stage 3 structurally above the book average with rising write-offs.

03 · Revenue

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

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd reported ₹408 Cr of income in the Mar 26 quarter, +24.8% year on year. That is the 10th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 5 years it has compounded at 37.0% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,529 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,528 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,529 Cr (+31.1% on the year), capping 5 years at 37.0% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹408 Cr, +24.8% year on year — the 10th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +31.7% growth against the decade's 37.0% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +31.0% over the last 4 quarters against +35.7%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +33.1% vs +42.7%/yr — rolling over.

04 · 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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd's net margin is 33.8% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.8 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 6 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 26.5% to 32.9%.

Why this happened. Lending spread about 6.6 percent in FY27-Q1 with yield 14.8 percent and finance cost 8.2 percent; spreads have repeatedly printed above 6 percent.

The latest quarter's net margin is 33.8%, +0.8 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 26.5%–32.9%, and FY26's 32.9% is the top of that band — a record year.

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.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

05 · Net profit

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

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd earned ₹138 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +27.8% year on year. It is the 10th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹503 Cr. The 5-year compound rate is 42.0%. That is 33.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹108 Cr.

Why this happened. PAT 143 crore rupees in FY27-Q1 (+20 percent reported; about +30 percent ex-DA); ROE 17.5 percent — mid-teen returns delivered while gearing stays low.

Mar 26 profit was ₹138 Cr, +27.8% year on year — the 10th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹503 Cr (+33.1%), and the 5-year compound rate is 42.0%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +24.8% and the margin +0.8 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +33.6% vs revenue +31.7%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.

06 · 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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd's gross NPA is 1.25% of the loan book in Mar 26, up from 0.99% a year ago. Net of provisions already set aside, 0.93% remains. Across the 11 quarters held here the book has ranged 0.97% to 1.54%. Falling NPAs are a loan book healing; rising NPAs are damage arriving.

Why this happened. Lender substitute for industrial cash conversion: FY26 PPoP covered credit cost about 17 times, funding access AA-, CRAR about 56 percent; write-off and day-1 rupees still block a full cash-quality pass.

🚨 Why this happened. Stage 3 oscillated 1.5 percent to 1.2 percent to 1.5 percent across Dec 2025 Mar 2026 and Jun 2026 while FY26 and Q1 write-off rupees stay GAP; credit cost held near 50 basis points with a Stage-2 overlay in Q4 FY26.

Mar 26: gross NPA at 1.25% and net NPA at 0.93%, against 0.99% / 0.75% a year ago. Over the 11 quarters we hold, the book's worst reading was 1.54% and its best is 0.97%.

Fiscal-year ends: gross NPA 0.97% (Mar 24) → 1.25% (Mar 26) Gross and net NPA at each fiscal-year end, % of the loan book (lines). 3 year-ends held. The gap between the two lines is the share already provided for.

The synthesis: profit growth at a bank is only as good as the book behind it, and this book is not yet on a clear healing streak. A note on depth: quarterly provisioning detail is not in our numbers yet, so this ladder reads levels and trend, not the cost of the cleanup.

🚨 Why the ladder moved: recoveries, write-offs and slippages each play a part, and that split sits below what we hold — the numbers show the healing; the driver mix does not travel with them.

07 · 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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd's revenue grew +31.1% in FY26 to ₹1,529 Cr, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +24.8% year on year. The net margin on that income is 33.8%, +0.8 percentage points against a year ago.

Why this happened. Gross AUM reached 11,284 crore rupees in Jun 2026 after 11,044 crore rupees at Mar 2026; growth guide reset to 25 to 30 percent and Q1 reported disbursements of 641 crore rupees understate clearance near 1,040 crore rupees.

FY26 revenue was ₹1,529 Cr, +31.1% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +24.8% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 33.8% this quarter (+0.8 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.

08 · 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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd earns a return on equity of 17% in FY26. Its trough over the ladder below was 9% in FY21. For a lender the balance sheet is the operating asset, so equity return and asset return have to be read together.

Why this happened. ROE climbed from about 14 percent post-IPO to 17 to 17.5 percent while CRAR stayed very high — partly capital digestion unwind, not proof that credit cost can stay permanently thin on a young book.

FY26 ROE came in at 17%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 9%. Return on assets is withheld on this page — its two source series disagree for this quarter. That clears the bar a bank must beat for its book value to compound.

FY26: ROE 17% Return on equity by fiscal year, % (line, left). 6-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 42.0% a year over 5 years while the equity base grew more slowly — earnings recovering faster than book value builds is what lifts ROE off a trough.

The quarterly return-on-equity and return-on-assets curves, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 17% on reported income across 14 comparable periods.

09 · 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.

Why this happened. Borrowings about 6,246 crore rupees on the Mar 2026 balance sheet versus 5,681 crore rupees in directors commentary (unreconciled); gearing about 2.0 times; NCD path live.

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.

10 · 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 4.4 points of India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 21.9% of the company. Promoters moved −2.2 points over the same window, to 46.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

Why this happened. WestBridge cluster about 46 percent; Jun promoter drop mostly Anil Mehta reclassification; NDU optics cleared to 0 percent encumbrance; FII cut 8.02 to 6.87 percent Sep 2025 to Mar 2026 then flat into Jun.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +4.4 points over 8 quarters to 21.9%; Promoters: −2.2 points over 8 quarters to 46.0%; Foreign institutions: +1.7 points over 8 quarters to 6.9%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+4.4 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (−2.2 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

11 · 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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation 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.

Why this happened. CARE ICRA and India Ratings all AA- Stable; no RBI NHB or SEBI monetary hit found in the last 24 months; auditor unqualified with ITGC hygiene notes.

12 · 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.

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd trades at 2.2× P/BV, about the cheapest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/BV is 3.2×, measured across 2.6 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Why this happened. Print both price-to-book 2.28 and 2.55 versus own median about 3.1 at ROE near 17 percent; compression is a setup flag only — GARP screen supports research, not rubber-stamp deploy.

Today's P/BV of 2.2× is about the cheapest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 3.2× measured over 2.6 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: the net margin is the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −25.5% — price and book moved together, holding the multiple in its range.

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

The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 17% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

13 · What the price assumes

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 8.8% a year. Profit itself has compounded 42.0% a year over the past 5 years. Today the market pays 2.2× P/BV, the 1st percentile of its own 3-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is low against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements.

14 · Stage: Mixed

Stage: Mixed 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).

India Shelter Finance Corporation Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: revenue growth has eased from +43.3% at its peak to +24.8% (single-quarter readings) but is still expanding, ROE lifting at 17.0%. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +31.1% in FY26, profit +33.1% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

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.
