Why Is Can Fin Homes Share Price Falling? Key Reasons

Tap to Access Best Research Pieces on Univest.

Reason 1: NIM Compression in Rising Cost of Funds Environment

Can Fin Homes is an affordable housing finance company with strong presence in South India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh). Its NIM (Net Interest Margin) of approximately 3.3-3.5% has been under pressure as cost of funds increased through FY25-26 (higher bank borrowing rates, elevated NCD rates) without a corresponding ability to raise lending rates to affordable housing customers.

The company’s fixed-rate loan portfolio — which was a margin advantage in a falling rate environment — becomes a disadvantage when rates rise, as the cost of funds reprices faster than the loan book.

Reason 2: Growth Slowdown in Affordable Housing Segment

Can Fin Homes specialises in loans to self-employed customers (non-salaried segment) and affordable housing segments. This customer profile is more sensitive to economic cycles — when employment and income uncertainty rises, affordable housing loan originations slow. FY26 disbursement growth has been below management’s target of 15%.

Reason 3: Canara Bank’s Strategic Approach — Will They Sell?

Canara Bank holds approximately 29.9% in Can Fin Homes. Canara Bank has been evaluating its strategic options — including a potential stake sale to a strategic investor or merger with Canara Bank’s own housing finance activities. This strategic uncertainty has created an overhang.

Reason 4: Asset Quality in South India Real Estate

Can Fin Homes’ geographic concentration in South India means its portfolio quality is closely correlated with South Indian real estate market health. Any pockets of project delays or residential price correction in Bengaluru or Hyderabad can create localised NPA stress.

Reason 5: Competition from HDFC Bank Post-Merger and LIC HFL

Post the HDFC-HDFC Bank merger, HDFC Bank has significantly expanded its home loan origination capacity with a massive distribution network. Can Fin Homes, with its South India concentration, faces direct competition from HDFC Bank branches that have begun pushing home loans aggressively.

Can Can Fin Homes Recover? Future Outlook

Can Fin Homes at Rs 680 and 1.8x book value is attractively valued for a well-run housing finance company with clean asset quality and strong South India brand. A potential Canara Bank stake sale to a strategic investor at premium would be a significant positive catalyst. Recovery to Rs 820-980 requires disbursement growth returning above 12% and NIM stabilising above 3.3%. The affordable housing sector’s long-term growth is secular and intact.
