Housing Finance Companies Show Asset Quality Recovery and Growth in FY26: Report
Housing finance companies (HFCs) showed significant recovery in FY26, with sharp improvements in asset quality, increased loan growth, and sustained profitability, according to a report by Equirus Securities. The sector faced early-year challenges from US tariff impacts and regional issues but improved in the second half due to tighter underwriting and better collections. The fourth quarter saw broad-based recovery marked by healthy disbursements, lower credit costs, and branch expansion, positioning HFCs well for FY27 despite potential macroeconomic risks.
