Emkay Global Financial has reiterated a 'BUY' rating for Power Finance Corporation (PFC) with a target price of Rs 500, up from Rs 450. Despite a soft Q4 in AUM growth and disbursement, PFC showed strong profitability due to higher recoveries. The management expects a ~10% growth in FY27, with margins slightly moderated. EPS estimates for FY27-28E have been trimmed by ~4-5%, but a 16-17% RoE is still anticipated. The restructuring of PFC-REC is expected to be completed by FY27-end, pending regulatory approvals.

However, it shows an increase from $2.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in Q1 2025.

The company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share.

Two central government financing agencies have reduced loan interest rates for power distribution corporations (discoms) in Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Ajmer, providing significant relief. This decision follows a meeting between Rajasthan's Chief Minister and the Union Power Minister. The combined debt burden of these discoms is approximately ₹98,000 crore, with interest payments exceeding ₹7,800 crore in FY26. The new rates will positively impact their balance sheets, allowing savings for infrastructure expansion. PFC has set a special rate of 9.60% for Jaipur discom, while Jodhpur and Ajmer discoms will have a rate of 10.50%.
