JM Financial Ltd. is projected to achieve a net profit of Rs 1,000 crore in FY26, driven by a shift to less cyclical business sectors.
The company is moving away from its traditional wholesale lending operations and focusing on more stable growth areas like wealth management, asset management, and affordable housing finance.
Analyst Digant Haria anticipates write-backs and reduced credit losses, aided by the company's exit from certain lending portfolios. This strategic shift is expected to boost profitability.
JM Financial is returning to its core strength in deal-making while adjusting its lending strategy to shorter-duration loans, emphasizing fee income over interest income.
