Muthoot Finance Q3 FY26 Results

Muthoot Finance numbers for October–December 2025 were outstanding:

  • Net profit almost doubled to ₹2,656 crore (from ₹1,363 crore last year).
  • Total income jumped 64% to ₹7,263 crore.
  • Assets under management hit ₹1.48 lakh crore – up 51% year-on-year.
  • Management raised full-year AUM growth guidance to 44–45% (earlier 30–35%).

High margins stayed strong at 79.68%. RBI rules relaxing branch expansion for big lenders added extra tailwind.

Why Muthoot Finance Share Price Fell Today

  1. Heavy Profit Booking The stock was on a five-day winning run, touching fresh highs near ₹4,150. Traders who bought ahead of results cashed out quickly to lock profits.
  2. Valuation Looks Stretched At ₹4,000+ levels, P/E touched around 22x – higher than the usual range for gold loan companies. Some see this dip as a natural pullback to fairer levels.
  3. Weak Broader Market Mood Sensex dropped nearly 1% (~770 points) today. In a cautious environment, high-beta names like Muthoot Finance feel the pressure first.
  4. Short-Term Technical Weakness Muthoot Finance share price broke below 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages. This triggers stop-loss and auto sells. Long-term trend stays positive – still above 100-day and 200-day averages.

Outlook for Muthoot Finance Share Price

The sharp fall looks more like a correction than a fundamental problem. Record profits, huge AUM growth, and RBI support point to a strong business. Many analysts call this dip a possible buying chance for patient investors.

Short-term swings are normal after big runs and big news. Muthoot Finance share price may stabilize soon if broader markets calm down. For long-term holders, today’s drop feels like noise around a very solid story.
