Risks Behind the Poonawalla Fincorp Share Price

Unsecured mix: About 48% of the on-book mix is unsecured, which is more sensitive to a downturn.

Borrowing: A debt to equity ratio of 4.30 amplifies any funding shock.

Valuation: At about 28 times annualised earnings, a miss can hit the Poonawalla Fincorp share price hard.

Unaudited numbers: The results are unaudited, as stated in the exchange filing, so confirm figures before acting on the Poonawalla Fincorp share price.
