LICHSGFIN's Q2 FY27 numbers came in mixed, with revenue of Rs. 7,175.08 Cr (+1.43% YoY) and PAT growth of +11.44% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.
| Results date | October 30, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Revenue (Q2) | Rs. 7,175.08 Cr (+1.43% YoY) |
| PAT (Q2) | Rs. 1,508.78 Cr (+11.44% YoY) |
| EPS (Q2) | Rs. 27.43 (+11.46% YoY) |
Asset quality continued improving with GNPA at 2.05% (from 2.51% YoY) and credit cost at −11.6 bps, better than the guided 10–15 bps band, while debt-equity improved to 6.51. However, PAT growth of 11.44% YoY rests on a Rs.164.56 Cr provisioning swing rather than spreads — PPOP grew only 2.77% on 1.43% revenue growth — and loan growth of 1.82% in H1 with deposits down 14.18% leaves the double-digit FY27 book-growth guidance requiring an H2 acceleration that looks difficult at the current run-rate.
| Driver | Expected before results | What happened | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disbursement growth "plausibly in-line with the ~15% guide" | In-line to ahead | Not disclosed in the filing | Not observable |
| "The NIM bridge back to 2.6% is the quarter's test"; spread flat to modestly compressing | Flat to modestly compressing | Company NIM not in filing; NII +0.59% QoQ / +2.48% YoY; my NIM proxy 2.62% vs 2.60% — proxy-only evidence, direction mildly positive | Partially |
| "Credit cost should normalize from Q1's −5 bps toward the guided 10–15 bps" | Normalize to positive provision | My proxy −11.6 bps — second consecutive net write-back (ECL −92.57 vs +71.99 YoY) | Contradicted |
| "GNPA 2.14% → guided 1.9%" | Improving | GNPA 2.05% | Played out |
| Rs.500 Cr restructured-account upgrade landing in Q2 | Upgrade expected | Filing silent | Not observable |
| Oct 7 repo hike a "next-quarter headwind" (Q2 unaffected) | No Q2 impact | Finance costs +0.56% YoY / +1.54% QoQ — no Q2 spike — no Q2 impact | Played out |
| Whether the retention department "dented the net BT-out run-rate" | Watch | Not disclosed in the filing | Not observable |
