Aadhar Financing shares jumped over 3% after Citi initiated a “Buy” rating with a target price of ₹565.

Citi cited Aadhar’s consistent AUM growth of 16% CAGR over 4–6 years and its strong, diversified distribution network as key drivers.

Enhanced technological capabilities have bolstered productivity and analytics, with projected PAT growth of 22% for FY24–27E and an RoE estimate of 16.5%. While risks like promoter dilution and a growing informal borrower base were noted, Citi remains optimistic about Aadhar’s robust fundamentals and growth outlook.
