Gold loan-focused NBFC Muthoot Finance on Saturday reported a 25% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit to Rs 2,550 crore for the quarter ended June 2026 (Q1FY27), driven by robust gold loan disbursements and higher interest income. Sequentially, however, profit declined from Rs 3,086 crore in the March quarter, which is typically a seasonally strong period for lenders. Standalone revenue from operations grew 33% year-on-year to Rs 7,589 crore, primarily on the back of higher interest income, which increased to Rs 7,506 crore from Rs 5,592 crore a year earlier. Standalone loan assets under management (AUM) surged 43% to hit an all-time high of Rs 1.72 lakh crore. Within that, gold loan AUM rose 44% to Rs 1.63 lakh crore, while the non-gold loan portfolio expanded 28% to Rs 8,755 crore.
