Cofacto Research Published October 11, 2026 6 min read

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank enters its Q2 FY 2026-2027 print with a provisional business update already showing strong momentum — deposits of Rs. 50,649 Cr and a gross loan book of Rs. 45,699 Cr, both growing around 30% YoY. The key things the results will speak to are whether asset quality (GNPA at a provisional 2.10%) and margins hold within the bank's revised FY27 guidance, all against the backdrop of an ongoing CEO transition.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Limited Q2 Results Date and Time

The Board was scheduled to meet October 16, 2026 to approve unaudited Q2/H1 FY27 results for the period ended September 30, 2026. The trading window closed October 1 and was due to reopen 48 hours after results.

What to expect from Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Limited's Q2 FY27 results

The quarter's central test is whether Ujjivan can convert its strong provisional growth read into profitability within its revised FY27 guidance of RoA of 1.8%-2.0% and credit cost of 0.9%-1.0% of average total assets. The October 3 provisional update showed gross loan book growth of 32.1% YoY and disbursements of Rs. 10,560 Cr (up 33.1% YoY), both ahead of the approximately 25% advances growth guidance, with gold loans up 209.7% YoY, agri banking up 79.1%, vehicle loans up 64.7% and MSME up 51.3% driving the secured pivot. Asset quality improved on the provisional read, with GNPA at 2.10% (down 35 bps YoY) and PAR at 3.57% (down 88 bps YoY), while micro-banking Bucket X collection efficiency of 99.72% was essentially unchanged from the about 99.7% cited in Q1 — the trend management said underpins its credit-cost outlook. Margin pressure remains the monitored item: the repo rate was held at 5.25% through the quarter, but CASA competition intensified and the bank's own CASA ratio slipped to 26.8% in Q1 against a target of closer to 30% by FY27 year-end, with Q1 cost of funds at 6.9%. The results will also be the first print since the CEO transition, with Carol Furtado serving as Interim CEO from September 1, 2026 and management stating FY27 plans remained on track.

Key Things To Watch

FY27 guidance tracking: Progress against the guidance set out at Q1FY27:

  • Advances growth — approximately 25% by FY27 — provisional Q2 loan book growth of 32.1% YoY is tracking ahead
  • RoA — revised to 1.8%-2.0% for FY27 (from about 1.6% earlier); Q1 RoA was presented as 2.2% in the press release and 0.53% quarterly-average in the board-outcome summary, a reconciliation gap to seek clarity on
  • Credit cost — 0.9%-1.0% of average total assets for FY27; clarify the denominator versus the earlier 1.4%-1.5% of average gross loan book guidance
  • CASA deposit growth — approximately 35%, with the CASA ratio targeted closer to 30% by FY27 year-end; Q1 CASA ratio was 26.8%
  • Portfolio mix — 56% non-MFI share and 56:44 secured-to-unsecured mix by March 2027; secured share stood at 52.0% in the provisional Q2 update, with secured book growth guided at 40% and micro-banking at 8%-9% for FY27
