Shriram Finance Shares Drop to 11-Month Low on Lower Loan Growth Outlook and Rising Credit Costs
Shriram Finance shares fell to an 11-month low after the company lowered its fiscal 2027 loan growth forecast to 15-17% from 18%, citing weak monsoon conditions, geopolitical uncertainty, and stress among rural borrowers in drought-affected regions. Despite reporting better-than-expected quarterly profits, concerns over rising credit costs and higher slippages weighed on investor sentiment. Brokerages like Jefferies and Motilal Oswal noted elevated credit costs and asset quality pressures, while JM Financial highlighted increasing early-stage delinquencies in key states.
