Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd (HUDCO) Q1 FY27 Results Analysis: PAT Surges 35%, Asset Quality Improves

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd's Q1 FY27 numbers came in strong, with revenue of Rs. 3,717.17 Cr (+26.84% YoY) and PAT growth of +35.05% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.

Quarter Snapshot

HUDCO delivered strong Q1 results with 27% revenue growth and 35% PAT growth, driven by loan book expansion and absence of FCNR hedging losses. Asset quality improved further with GNPA at 0.96% and PCR at 95%. However, NIM compression from rising finance costs and auditor emphasis on governance issues are watchpoints. No forward guidance was provided.
