A year ago, in Q2 FY26, Stage 3 assets had improved to about 2.25% from 4.3%, so the latest figure is closer to the 3.8% seen in December 2023. Nuvama raised its estimates for growth and net interest margin but flagged higher loan loss provisions, and warned that asset quality needs close tracking because of the change in repayment cycle and rising macro distress.<\/p>\n<p>Management links part of the <strong>Muthoot Finance asset quality<\/strong> change to the <strong>RBI gold loan norms<\/strong> that took effect on 1 April 2026, saying the new guidelines involve a learning curve for the company and its customers that will stabilise over a few quarters. Under the revised norms, the loan-to-value cap was raised to 85% for loans up to Rs 2.5 crore, which supports growth but also leaves less cushion if gold prices fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Compare gold finance NBFC stocks on the Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competition_in_Gold_Loans_Banks_NBFCs_and_New_Entrants\"><\/span><strong>Competition in Gold Loans: Banks, NBFCs and New Entrants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On <strong>Muthoot Finance gold loan AUM<\/strong> competition, scheduled banks held a gold loan portfolio of about Rs 13 trillion against about Rs 3 trillion for NBFCs, according to Muthoot&#8217;s own earlier comments, so banks are the bigger pool and the biggest competitor. The company says new entrants and rising demand are creating opportunities, and that it added 201 branches in the quarter. Competition can compress yields, and Muthoot has said it aims to retain them, so watch margins in coming quarters.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muthoot_Finance_Share_Price_and_Valuation\"><\/span><strong>Muthoot Finance Share Price and Valuation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Metric<\/th>\n<th>Muthoot Finance<\/th>\n<th>Manappuram Finance<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Price (NSE)<\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,487.60 (+3.28%)<\/td>\n<td>Rs 297.35 (+2.89%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day&#x27;s range<\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,305.00 to Rs 2,511.40<\/td>\n<td>Rs 282.05 to Rs 300.60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Market cap<\/td>\n<td>About Rs 96,734 crore<\/td>\n<td>About Rs 27,147 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>P\/E ratio<\/td>\n<td>8.44<\/td>\n<td>18.78<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>P\/B ratio<\/td>\n<td>2.38<\/td>\n<td>1.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Return on equity<\/td>\n<td>28.01%<\/td>\n<td>6.25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Debt to equity<\/td>\n<td>4.02<\/td>\n<td>3.60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dividend yield<\/td>\n<td>1.25%<\/td>\n<td>0.69%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source: NSE data and company filings.

Gold price falls hurt gold lenders because collateral value drops, as seen in this month&#8217;s price correction in bullion.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Muthoot Finance gold loan AUM<\/strong> is growing 43% with record profit, but a jump in gross NPA to 3.87% and rising competition from banks explain the questions about quality. The stock trades at 8.4 times earnings with a 28% return on equity, so the market is still giving credit for growth. The next one or two quarters of asset quality will decide whether the concern fades.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#CC0000;border-radius:8px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13px;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\"><strong style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information.
