Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd

UJJIVANSFB
Banks - Small Finance

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. +73.9% in a year against EPS −4.8% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +73.9% in a year while annual EPS moved −4.8% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (66 weeks in) while the P/BV sits at the 80th percentile of its own 7-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +207.8% year on year, and gross NPA has eased to 2.16%. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd trades at ₹72.5, in a confirmed uptrend and 66 weeks into that stage. That is +25.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹44 to ₹72. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 6 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 66 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹72.5 it trades +25.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹44–₹72).

Aug 26: ₹72.5 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.

Dec 19Aug 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 6.7 years the stock moved +39% while the NIFTY 500 moved +139% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 6 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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd trades at 2.1× P/BV, at the pricey end of its own range (80th percentile). Its long-run median P/BV is 1.6×, measured across 6.6 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 2.1× is at the pricey end of its own range (80th percentile), against a long-run median of 1.6× measured over 6.6 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

The honest context for that discount: a bank earning about 11% on its equity is worth less per rupee of book, and the market has priced that in rather than overlooked it. The discount closes only if the returns themselves improve.

P/BV 2.1× vs a 1.6× long-run median P/BV, weekly (left axis); book value per share, weekly (right axis). 6.6-year window; brief peaks above 4.0× shown pinned at the top. The book value / share bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

PEG 3.63 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 4 quarters.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +73.9% — the price ran ahead of the book, pushing the multiple up its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +23.0%/yr price move, ~+15.0%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+8.0 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 full against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · Stage: Turning around

Stage: Turning around 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).

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −58.1% at the trough to +71.8%, a 3-quarter improving streak, ROE holding at 10.2%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +9.1% in FY26, profit −4.5% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn. Turnaround-year spikes shown pinned (▲).

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

63.1/100 — rank 1 of 9 in Banks - Small Finance · 100% evidence confidence

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd scores 63.1 out of 100 against the 9 companies it is compared with in Banks - Small Finance, ranking 1. 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: 21.2 + 18.3 + 6.5 + 17.1 = 63.1. 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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd reported ₹2,025 Cr of income in the Jun 26 quarter, +25.1% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 13 years it has compounded at 30.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹6,931 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹7,337 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹6,931 Cr (+9.1% on the year), capping 13 years at 30.3% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹2,025 Cr, +25.1% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +14.7% growth against the decade's 30.3% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +14.7% over the last 4 quarters against +10.9%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +71.8% vs −15.1%/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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd's net margin is 15.7% in the Jun 26 quarter, +9.3 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −14.8% to 26.4%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's net margin is 15.7%, +9.3 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −14.8%–26.4%.

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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd earned ₹317 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +207.8% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹693 Cr. The 13-year compound rate is 26.1%. That is 15.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹103 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹317 Cr, +207.8% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹693 Cr (−4.5%), and the 13-year compound rate is 26.1%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +25.1% and the margin +9.3 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +117.7% vs revenue +14.7%. 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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd's gross NPA is 2.16% of the loan book in Jun 26, down from 2.52% a year ago. Net of provisions already set aside, 0.34% remains. That is the 4th straight quarter of improvement. Across the 12 quarters held here the book has ranged 2.16% to 2.68%.

Jun 26: gross NPA at 2.16% and net NPA at 0.34%, against 2.52% / 0.70% a year ago. Over the 12 quarters we hold, the book's worst reading was 2.68% and its best is 2.16% — which is the current print. The ladder has now improved for 4 consecutive quarters.

Fiscal-year ends: gross NPA 2.23% (Mar 24) → 2.26% (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 healing on a multi-quarter 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.

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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd's revenue grew +9.1% in FY26 to ₹6,931 Cr, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +25.1% year on year. The net margin on that income is 15.7%, +9.3 percentage points against a year ago.

FY26 revenue was ₹6,931 Cr, +9.1% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +25.1% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 15.7% this quarter (+9.3 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.

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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd earns a return on equity of 11% in FY26. Its trough over the ladder below was −15% 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 11%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −15%. Return on assets is withheld on this page — its two source series disagree for this quarter. That return is below the bar a bank must clear to compound book value quickly — which is also the honest reason the stock trades where it does.

FY26: ROE 11%, ROA 1.30% Return on equity by fiscal year, % (line, left); return on assets, % (line, right). 12-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 26.1% a year over 13 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 26.1 points of Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 33.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −7.9 points over the same window, to 16.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +26.1 points over 8 quarters to 33.5%; Foreign institutions: −7.9 points over 8 quarters to 16.8%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%. Note the structure: promoters hold under 20% — this is a widely-held company where institutions, not a family, set the direction.

Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions −7.9 points against domestic institutions +26.1 points over 8 quarters, with promoters holding steady — 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 −73.5 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.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank 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.
