MAS Financial (Initiating Coverage): Grassroots financier
An efficient player in high growth product segment
Run by first-generation entrepreneurs since 1995, MAS Financial Services
(MASFIN) is an NBFC operating out of six states, primarily Gujarat and
Maharashtra. A quintessential NBFC, it targets the middle and low income
customer segments.
Over the past five years, MASFIN’s AUM grew at a robust 35% CAGR to reach
INR37b. Growth was driven by their flagship product (MEL loans) and new
product such as SME loans. The company has impeccable track record of 39%
PAT CAGR over FY12-17 with consistent ROA (on AUM) of 2%+. At the same
time, the company has always maintained GNPL ratio & credit costs both close
to ~1% - among the best in our NBFC coverage.
Given a favorable backdrop, we expect the company to deliver 25% AUM CAGR
and 25% EPS CAGR over FY17-20E.
