Where the return came from

Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield
1 year−50.7%+1.9%−52.2%0.6%
3 years−13.0%+21.7%−28.7%0.3%
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add.

A figure is left empty where it would rest on a loss or the company has under a year of results on record; for ROCE and EV/EBITDA, where the company is a lender or an insurer; for NIM and ROA, where the company does not file a lender's accounts. ROE is the shareholders' profit over their net worth. ROCE is profit before interest and tax over the whole group's net worth plus borrowings, as in the figures at the top of the page. ROA is the year's profit over average total assets. NIM is net interest income over average loans and investments.

About Five-Star Business Finance

Five-Star Business Finance Limited is a non-deposit taking non-banking finance company (NBFC) registered with the Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank classifies it as an NBFC in the Middle Layer. It was incorporated in 1984, and its registered office is on Taylor's Road, Kilpauk.

The company is in the business of providing secured loans for business and other purposes. Its customers are mainly microentrepreneurs, small business owners and self-employed individuals who have limited access to formal credit. All of its loans are secured, and it assesses borrowers with a proprietary underwriting model that its own staff run in-house. Many of its borrowers have informal income and no credit bureau record, so it also checks the neighbourhood and trade of the borrower as substitutes for formal records.

The company operates in ten states and one union territory in India. It has no operations outside the country. As of June 2026 it had 856 branches. Andhra Pradesh has the most, with 276 branches, followed by Tamil Nadu with 214 (including the union territory of Puducherry), Telangana with 120, Madhya Pradesh with 111, Karnataka with 61 and Maharashtra with 50.

Lakshmipathy Deenadayalan, the company's Chairman and Managing Director, is listed as a promoter. A promoter is the person or group that set up a company or controls it. The company does not have any subsidiary, associate or joint venture company.
