Edelweiss' research report on Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services’ (MMFS) Q4FY17 PAT at INR2.3bn came lower than estimate on higher provisions. Though GNPLs are optically lower at 9% (>11% in Q3FY17) –a seasonal trend, this quarter it was more to do with higher write-offs.
