Mirae Asset Sharekhan Recommends 11 BFSI Stocks
Mirae Asset Sharekhan studied financial companies after their first-quarter results for FY27.
It said many non-bank lenders had a strong start.
Their loans grew, profits increased and fewer losses were expected from bad loans.
Housing, vehicle and gold lenders were among the stronger areas.
Life insurance companies also did well, especially with protection products.
General insurance companies had a more difficult quarter.
The brokerage recommended 11 named stocks, despite one part of the article saying 13.
It also warned that a proposed Reserve Bank of India rule on revolving credit could hurt some lenders.
Mirae Asset Sharekhan recommends 11 BFSI stocks after strong Q1 FY27 results across several lending segments.
Diversified financiers recorded 25% year-on-year AUM growth and 33% year-on-year PAT growth, according to the brokerage.
The brokerage expects improved asset quality, lower credit costs and cleaned-up balance sheets to support NBFC profitability.
Insurance results were mixed: life insurers benefited from protection products, while general insurers faced profit pressures.
The recommendations include five NBFCs, four insurers, Nippon Life India Asset Management and Bajaj Finserv, although the article also refers to 13 stocks.
