It has completely different problems, PE guys who owns > 51℅ wants to sell it to axis banks at certain price, MD wants at higher price.
What CRISIL had to do with it?
There can be exception to ICRA but CRISIL I can find any.

Why Arman gets such huge valuations PE of 90, ??
Second debt market and equity market difference ?
These are the completely fair questions any outsider can ask.
But who knows company very closely knows what’s the point behind such valuations.
My company also do cattle financing , in case of Arman that’s the unique segment that other micro financial find difficult.
Because of its large customer pool they manage to grow at such a scale, but now the time was difficult. Now even HDFC started cattle financing. There are many small players enter in this segment.
So according to me golden days are over, now they have to struggle from both side. As u have seen they are making impairment losses since laste 6 qtrs.
Similar story continues I guess…
And because majority shares are in strong hands .so they are waiting weakers to come

In case of financial companies, it is almost impossible to say anything with certainty (about the quality of assets, recovery processes, whether the numbers are being fudged etc.) unless one is an insider and really in the know of things. See the recent case of IndusInd Bank. Investing is a matter of faith in the management more than anything else. Bad asset quality is apparent and can be seen by everybody, but good quality cannot be guaranteed even if nothing adverse is visible. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. After I realized this, I stopped investing in financial companies totally. Just not my cup of tea.

Just points to bottoming of the cycle and the eventual recovery. Those who bought the pain will truly reap the rewards if we have a +ve cycle for atleast 1 year.

Since Q2FY22 they are having negative ALM . I don’t understand how this is going to work out in future? are they going to raise fresh debt to have +ve ALM? Did this happen in past? Why the average tenor of active assets increased after Q1FY22? Was it due to restructuring?

I am surprised in Two - wheeler finance and Cattle finance they are running into ALM issues, means they are borrowing very short term loans.
