Saw your video on it presented last year.
It was trading at 1.8 Price to book value that time.
Today it’s trading at 2.0 Price to book value. Book value had grown 40% in last year so do you think this growth is sustainable for next few years.
Didn’t find any research report on it apart from symmatrix where they are valuing it at 2.5 Price to BV.
If you can guide on what seems fair valuation to you.
Thanks.

The management is guiding to take aum to 1 lakh crs by 2025 from 55k-60k cr currently that applies 25-30% growth. If they are able to get close to this target then valuations are still very reasonable.

@Worldlywiseinvestors What is the right way to value this NBFC? And which segment of NBFC companies we should compare to understand the relative valuation?

The reason is that due to CoLending my doubt is their Book Value the right representation?

I have one confusion here on IIFL.

  • Management has given guidelines of 25% aum growth and 20% ROE (3.5% ROA based on current leverage). Current AUM is 64k Cr.

  • Estimated FY24 PAT based on these numbers should be around 2800Cr ( ie: Expected FY24 AUM times ROA)

  • However management has given a PAT guidance of 2100 Cr (25% growth in bottom line) in FY24.

These two numbers don’t match here. To folks following the company, please suggest if there is something wrong in the numbers here

People following the company, will the ban on IIFL Securities hamper IIFL Finance? If I understand correctly, they are separate entities with different businesses, but will it impact the IIFL “brand”, thus affecting IIFL Finances.

And are there any corporate governance red flag in this company as well?

Though we can argue that they are seperate entities, the same promoter ironically holds 15% stake in IIFL securities as well. Looks like that there are some serious corporate governance issues in this group indeed. Exited my position completely today.

Company continues to remain cautious on unsecured lending / personal loans. Sounded skeptical of due diligence process followed by new gen Fintechs

Gold loan growth driven by company’s distribution strength

IIFL housing finance gets funding from National Housing Board at concessional rates - helps keep cost of funds under check

Company expects to maintain its NIMs at 7-7.5 pc or thereabouts

Management doesn’t see any credit demand slowdown if the economy remains robust - the way it is today

Avg life of Gold Loan portfolio is 90-120 days

Company believes, cost of borrowing has almost peaked in India. May move up-down by 10-15 bps, not beyond that

Company has slowed down its branch expansion spree. Should lead to lower Opex going fwd as more branches mature and their AUMs increase. Ex - IIFL’s gold loan branches have avg gold loan AUMs of 8 cr vs 22 cr for Mkt leader

Avg tenure of Digital loans varies from 6 months to 2 yrs. This is a high risk area. Hence the company is very aggressive in provisioning against Stage -3 assets wrt Digital loans. Despite that, returns are fairly attractive

LAP product in smaller towns etc has attractive rates. However, it also involves higher cost of origination like the cost of verifying the title, valuation of property etc

Q2 RoA @ 3.9 pc. Should be able to maintain the RoA range between 3.7-4.0

Credit cost range guidance given by the management @ 2 or thereabouts

Price war in Gold loans business witnessed in last FY is now abating. Hence the lending yields have gone back up

Co-Lending and Assigned books mainly consist of Gold, Housing loans and LAP

Current branch count at 4596 vs 3700 LY. As the new branches mature, operating leverage should kick in. On an avg, a branch breaks even in 18-24 months

What will be the impact of RBI’s yesterday’s AIF decision on IIFL’s business?

Don’t know about the intricacies - to be very frank

However, IIFL’s lending book is largely retail and small business loans. Hence - this order should be irrelevant as far as IIFL is concerned

First thing - that came to my mind :point_up:

IIFL has invested Rs 1,100 crore in AIFs, per Jefferies.

The matter has been under litigation and it seems that IIFL Securities has got relief.
