Aadhar Housing Finance IPO Review
Canara Bank Securities
The brokerage attributes the company's higher cost-to-income ratio—which boosts its net interest margin—to its strategic efforts, which set it apart from competitors in the sector. Since 2021, the business has also continuously maintained high asset quality. Following the transfer of 80% of DHFL's shares in 2019, BCP Topco VII PTE Ltd, supported by Blackrock Group, is currently in charge of the firm. Just 0.1% of the loan accounts in the DHFL pool are in the home finance company's loan book. Even if the firm is facing legal actions of up to 269 crores, which might have an impact on its finances, the IPO seems fairly valued at a P/B of 3.36x. The brokerage advises subscribing to the issue in order to benefit from listing profits.
