Non-banking finance company Five-Star Business Finance reported a net profit of ₹286 crore in the quarter ended September (Q2FY26), compared to ₹268 crore in the same quarter last year. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹807 Cr, a YoY growth of 14 percent.
Assets under management (AUM) ended September 2025 at ₹12,847 Cr, growing 18 percent YoY and 3 percent QoQ.
However, payouts declined 4 percent year-on-year at Rs 1,196 crore due to additional controls implemented during this quarter regarding customer onboarding.
Lakshmipathy Deenadayalan, chairman and managing director of Five-Star Business Finance, said in a statement that Five Star delivered a stable performance in the current quarter, based on various metrics. “The downward trend we saw in the first quarter of 2026 has stopped in the current quarter and as of now we think we will see some green shoots emerge in the third quarter and a much stronger performance in the fourth quarter,” he said.
“While our asset quality and credit costs have had a marginal impact in the current quarter compared to the previous quarter, they are still outperforming many of our peers in the secured/unsecured small ticket lending space,” he added.
Gross Stage 3 assets rose 1.17 percent year-on-year to 2.64 percent for Q2FY26. Net Stage 3 assets were 1.46 percent, up 0.75 percent. “Our collections from unique customers and total collections have remained stable compared to the previous quarter,” Deenadayalan said.
