Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Power Finance Corporation Ltd is a large-cap NBFC lending to the power sector with a market cap of ₹1,38,538 Cr, trading at a PE of 4.1x and 1.04x book value. The company has delivered consistent 21% ROE over 3 and 5 years with 17-18% profit CAGR, while offering a 4.42% dividend yield, though revenue growth has been modest at 10% over five years and interest coverage remains a concern.
- PE ratio of 4.1x is extremely low relative to the broader financial services sector, suggesting earnings are being acquired cheaply per rupee invested
- Consistent ROE of 21% maintained over 3-year, 5-year, and last year periods indicates strong and stable return generation on equity capital
- Dividend yield of 4.42% is well above market averages, providing meaningful income to shareholders
- Compounded profit growth of 17% over 5 years and 18% over 3 years demonstrates sustained earnings momentum
- Trading at 1.04x book value means the stock is priced near its net asset value, leaving limited downside from a book value perspective
- Working capital days reduced from 18.3 days to 12.4 days, reflecting improved operational efficiency in collections and fund deployment
- 3-year stock CAGR of 26% and 5-year CAGR of 31% show the market has been re-rating the company over the medium term
- 10-year compounded sales growth of 15% and profit growth of 15% indicate a long track record of steady expansion in the power lending book
- Low interest coverage ratio exposes the company to refinancing risk and margin compression if borrowing costs rise
- 5-year compounded sales growth of only 10% indicates sluggish loan book expansion relative to peers in the NBFC space
- Potential capitalisation of interest costs raises questions about the true quality of reported earnings and asset valuations
- TTM revenue growth has decelerated to 8% from the 3-year CAGR of 14%, suggesting a slowdown in disbursement momentum
- 1-year stock CAGR of just 1% versus 26% over 3 years signals the re-rating cycle may have stalled at current levels
- Concentrated exposure to the power sector makes the loan book vulnerable to policy changes, discom health deterioration, or energy transition risks
- Dividend payout ratio of 23% is relatively modest for a company with limited reinvestment-driven growth of 10% in sales, raising questions about capital allocation efficiency
- Debt-to-equity data is unavailable but as a wholesale lending NBFC, the company inherently operates with high leverage, amplifying any asset quality deterioration
