Shriram Finance set out an expansion in an energy transition development.
· BS Companies
Shriram Finance aims to double gold loans' share of its AUM to 5 per cent in two years, while expanding EV financing and exploring partnerships with Japanese automakers.
The analysis
Shriram Finance reported ₹20,000 crore, with movement of 5% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -4.0% on the day at ₹865.00, and has returned -14.9% over three months. It sits 24% below its 52-week high. The financial services sector has moved -11.5% over the same period, so Shriram Finance is running 3.4 points behind its peers.
For Shriram Finance, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the financial services peer set alongside it.
