Background
CreditAccess Grameen Shares Jump Over 10% on Strong FY26 Business Update
Shares of CreditAccess Grameen shot up more than 10% after the microfinance lender posted healthy business growth and a sharp turnaround in asset quality for FY26, putting the stock firmly back on the investor radar.
The counter climbed to an intraday high of ₹1,301.60 on the BSE, carried higher by strong disbursement numbers, branch additions and tight collections. The gross loan portfolio grew 14% year-on-year to ₹29,590 crore, reflecting steady borrower demand across the lending book.
Fourth quarter disbursements came in at ₹8,313 crore, up 28% from the year-ago period. Full-year disbursements totalled ₹24,860 crore, up 24%, a number that speaks to the consistent pace at which the lender kept pushing loans through FY26.
The retail finance segment made meaningful headway, with its portfolio share jumping to 18% from 6% a year ago. The shift reflects a deliberate move to widen the lending mix without turning its back on the borrowers it has built its business around.
CreditAccess Grameen added 183 branches throughout the year, taking the total to 2,236 across its network. Headcount stayed steady at just over 21,900 even as the business scaled.
