IIFL Finance swings to profit in Q2 on lower provisions, steady loan growth

The improvement comes amid strong demand for retail and gold-backed loans, which continue to form a significant part of IIFL’s portfolio.

IIFL Finance | The stock saw its biggest single day fall on Friday since March 2024 after declining 11%. This also turned out to be the worst week for the stock since March 2024. The stock has declined in seven out of the last eight trading sessions. In its earnings call on Thursday, the company raised its full-year credit-cost guidance to 3% from 2.5% to 2.7% earlier. The management also said that the first quarter was worse than expected in terms of credit costs, mainly in MSME and MFI segment. Jefferies downgraded IIFL Finance to "hold" with a target of ₹465, cutting its EPS estimates for financial year 2026 and 2027 by 12% and 7% respectively.

IIFL Finance Ltd reported a net profit of ₹376.3 crore for the September quarter, compared with a loss of ₹157 crore a year earlier, helped by lower provisions and steady loan growth.

Net interest income (NII) rose 6.1% year-on-year to ₹1,439 crore from ₹1,355 crore, the non-bank lender said in a filing.

The improvement comes amid strong demand for retail and gold-backed loans, which continue to form a significant part of IIFL’s portfolio.

Separately, the company said its housing finance subsidiary, IIFL Home Finance Ltd, has appointed Girish Kousgi as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective Oct. 30, 2025.
