Shriram Finance Ltd

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.

Shriram Finance Ltd trades at ₹1,124, in a confirmed uptrend and 43 weeks into that stage. That is +18.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹606 to ₹1,124. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 9 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 43 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,124 it trades +18.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹606–₹1,124).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +621% while the NIFTY 500 moved +284% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 9 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.

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.

Shriram Finance Ltd trades at 3.2× P/BV, at the pricey end of its own range (97th percentile). Its long-run median P/BV is 2.0×, measured across 10.5 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 3.2× is at the pricey end of its own range (97th percentile), against a long-run median of 2.0× measured over 10.5 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +82.1% — the price ran ahead of the book, pushing the multiple up its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +34.4%/yr price move, ~+18.4%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+16.0 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +16.1%/yr price move, ~+15.7%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+0.4 pp from the multiple (roughly flat). 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 full against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.

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).

Shriram Finance Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROE at 17.2% and holding. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.

4-Factor Sector Score

64.3/100 — rank 2 of 5 in Finance & Investments - CV Finance · 93% evidence confidence

Shriram Finance Ltd scores 64.3 out of 100 against the 5 companies it is compared with in Finance & Investments - CV Finance, ranking 2. Strong business, demanding price: keep it on the quality list, but require either earnings upgrades or valuation compression.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 22.6 + 20.7 + 6.9 + 14.1 = 64.3. 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.

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

Shriram Finance Ltd reported ₹13,400 Cr of income in the Jun 26 quarter, +16.2% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 16.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹48,135 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹49,996 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹48,135 Cr (+9.5% on the year), capping 10 years at 16.6% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹13,400 Cr, +16.2% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +14.3% growth against the decade's 16.6% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +14.2% over the last 4 quarters against +16.9%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +16.6% vs +21.1%/yr — rolling over.

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.

Shriram Finance Ltd's net margin is 25.8% in the Jun 26 quarter, +7.1 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 11.2% to 21.8%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's net margin is 25.8%, +7.1 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 11.2%–21.8%.

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.

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

Shriram Finance Ltd earned ₹3,453 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +59.9% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹10,024 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 23.8%. That is 25.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹2,159 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹3,453 Cr, +59.9% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹10,024 Cr (+4.7%), and the 10-year compound rate is 23.8%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +16.2% and the margin +7.1 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +21.5% vs revenue +14.3%. 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.

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.

Shriram Finance Ltd's gross NPA is 4.54% of the loan book in Dec 25, down from 5.38% a year ago. Net of provisions already set aside, 2.38% remains. Across the 10 quarters held here the book has ranged 4.53% to 5.79%. Falling NPAs are a loan book healing; rising NPAs are damage arriving.

Dec 25: gross NPA at 4.54% and net NPA at 2.38%, against 5.38% / 2.68% a year ago. Over the 10 quarters we hold, the book's worst reading was 5.79% and its best is 4.53%.

The synthesis: profit growth at a bank is only as good as the book behind it, and this book is better than a year ago. 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.

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.

Shriram Finance Ltd's revenue grew +9.5% in FY26 to ₹48,135 Cr, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +16.2% year on year. The net margin on that income is 25.8%, +7.1 percentage points against a year ago. Interest income is a proxy for the book; rate moves can shift it a few points in any one year.

FY26 revenue was ₹48,135 Cr, +9.5% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +16.2% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 25.8% this quarter (+7.1 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.

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.

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.

Shriram Finance Ltd earns a return on equity of 16% in FY26. Its trough over the ladder below was 11% in FY22. 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 16%, recovered from a FY22 trough of 11%. 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.

Why ROE moved: profit compounded 23.8% 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.

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.

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.

Promoters cut 5.1 points of Shriram Finance Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 20.3% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +3.7 points over the same window, to 19.9%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −5.1 points over 8 quarters to 20.3%; Domestic institutions: +3.7 points over 8 quarters to 19.9%; Foreign institutions: +1.5 points over 8 quarters to 54.8%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−5.1 points), absorbed on the other side by domestic institutions (+3.7 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

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.

Shriram Finance 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.
