Brokerage view on IIFL Finance - Motilal Oswal Financial Services While the recent quarterly earnings were weak, marked by deteriorating asset quality, gold loan growth remains the only bright spot for IIFL Finance, as per Motilal Oswal Financial Services. The stock is currently trading at 1.3x FY27E price-to-book value and 9x PE. That apart, loan growth across all other segments remained sluggish. "IIFL reported an operationally weak quarter. Very strong growth in gold loans being the only positive. Loan growth remained tepid across all other segments. The company faced asset quality pressures in its MFI, unsecured business loans, and micro-LAP portfolios, which resulted in elevated credit costs. Additionally, NIMs declined further, potentially impacted by interest income reversals on fresh slippages in the quarter," the brokerage firm noted in its first-cut market note, while maintaining a 'Buy' rating on the stock (subject to review post the earnings call).
