Quotes

A brokerage firm
“On a positive note, credit costs saw a sequential decline, supported by improved collection efficiency and lower delinquencies during the quarter. The company is taking slow and measured steps to regain stability and normalcy. FUSION, in our view, is likely to deliver an AUM CAGR of ~1% and PPOP CAGR of ~-9% over FY25-27. We estimate RoA/RoE of ~3.7%/12% in FY27. With no near-term catalyst, we reiterate our Neutral rating on the stock with a revised TP of INR170 (based on 1x Mar’27E P/BV).”

“However, stable performance over the next 1-2 quarters will be crucial to validate this recovery as a definitive shift. With no other near-term catalysts, we reiterate our Neutral rating with a revised target price of Rs 170 (based on 1x Mar’27E P/BV).”
