MandM Sees Q4 Surge, Dividend in Focus
The company’s shares rose as much as 2 percent during trading hours, hitting a high of Rs 3,000.20 before settling at Rs 2,991.40 apiece, marking a 2.23 percent increase. The stock had opened at Rs 2,948, compared to the previous close of Rs 2,926.
Notably, the Board of Directors recommended a dividend on ordinary equity shares for the year ending March 31, 2025. If approved at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), the payout will be dispatched after July 31, 2025, to eligible shareholders. This move reflects a steady earnings outlook and a commitment to delivering shareholder value.
Shriram Housing Finance Merger and Sectoral Shifts
Meanwhile, in a significant development within the financial services space, the board has approved the merger of Shriram Housing Finance with Shriram Finance Ltd. This consolidation is aimed at creating a more robust and agile lending platform by streamlining operations and expanding reach.
In FY24, the group opened 207 new branches, with plans to surpass 250 new additions in FY25. This aggressive expansion strategy aligns with broader market trends, where financial service providers are ramping up rural and semi-urban outreach to capture emerging demand.
Asset quality also showed a healthy improvement. The Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA) ratio declined to 5.4% from 6.3% year-over-year, while Net NPA (NNPA) dropped to 2.1% from 3%. These figures indicate improved credit discipline and effective risk management, key metrics closely watched by investors and analysts alike.
What This Means for Investors
The gains in MandM stock reflect optimism surrounding auto stocks and a broader market rally driven by improving fundamentals. As market trends continue to favor strong balance sheets and growth-oriented strategies, companies with solid governance and clear expansion plans stand out.
With key developments in the banking and finance segment—especially in branch network growth and asset quality improvement—investors are likely to keep a close eye on Nifty constituents and sector-specific leaders. The upcoming dividend and strategic moves suggest continued strength in MandM’s operational performance, positioning it well for sustained growth in FY26.
