Other income rose ~34% YoY and ~80% QoQ to ~INR1b. The increase in other income is due to higher fee income and assignment income during the quarter.

Outlook

We cut our FY26E/FY27E PAT by 17%/10% to factor in higher operating expenses. We model a CAGR of 42% in AUM over FY25-FY27E and expect PFL to deliver RoA/RoE of ~2.9%/~18% in FY27. Reiterate BUY with a TP of INR440 (premised on 3.2x Mar’27E BVPS).
