Can Fin Homes Profit Rises 9% as Tech Overhaul Tempers Growth
The housing finance lender posted steady revenue and profit growth, but a major IT transformation temporarily slowed disbursements and compressed margins.
Can Fin Homes reported a 7.7% rise in revenue and a 9.2% increase in profit for Q2 FY27. The quarter was marked by the completion of a major digital transformation, which temporarily impacted business volumes while the company maintained strong asset quality.
Can Fin Homes delivered steady growth in a quarter defined by transition. The housing finance lender navigated the final, disruptive phase of a company-wide IT overhaul, which temporarily slowed new loan disbursements even as its core loan book and profitability continued to expand.
The numbers show resilience. Revenue grew 7.7% year-on-year to ₹1,130.78 crore, while profit rose 9.2% to ₹274.61 crore. Sequentially, growth was muted but positive. The net profit margin held steady, improving slightly year-on-year but dipping 10 basis points from the previous quarter.

Why growth decelerated
The sequential slowdown in profit growth traces directly to Project Tejas, the company's ₹297 crore digital transformation. According to the investor presentation, the rollout across 274 branches in Q2 temporarily impacted disbursements, which fell 6.8% year-on-year to ₹2,373 crore. Management told Investing.com that branches saw a sharp drop in activity during their migration month before recovering.
This operational friction occurred alongside a competitive lending environment. The company's net interest margin compressed to 3.89% from 4.02% a year ago, as per the slides. While the cost of borrowing fell, the yield on the loan portfolio fell faster, narrowing the spread.

The foundation remains solid
Beneath the tech-led disruption, the underlying business stayed healthy. The loan book grew 10% year-on-year to ₹43,539 crore. Asset quality improved, with gross NPAs at 0.90% and net NPAs at 0.42%, as reported in the company's slides. The Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) was a strong 23.34%, according to ScanX Trade, providing ample cushion for growth.
The company's liquidity coverage ratio was reported at 100% by ScanX Trade, with The Economic Times noting documented undrawn bank lines of ₹2,571 crore. This positions Can Fin Homes to fund its planned acceleration.
A sharp rebound is guided
Management is betting on a powerful second-half recovery. They have maintained full-year FY27 disbursement guidance at ₹13,000 crore, implying a significant step-up. According to the earnings call transcript, Q3 disbursements are expected to reach ₹3,500 crore, with Q4 around ₹4,525 crore.
Guidance for net interest margin (3.75%) and credit costs (10 basis points) also remains unchanged. The completion of Project Tejas is now a tailwind, expected to drive efficiency and support the expansion of the sales team and new branches.
Key Points
- Profit grew 9.2% year-on-year to ₹274.61 crore on a 7.7% rise in revenue, with margins holding steady.
- Disbursements fell 6.8% year-on-year due to temporary disruption from the company-wide IT system rollout (Project Tejas).
- Asset quality improved, with gross NPA at 0.90% and a strong capital adequacy ratio (CRAR) of 23.34%.
- Management maintained full-year disbursement guidance of ₹13,000 crore, forecasting a sharp sequential rebound in the second half.
- Net interest margin compressed year-on-year to 3.89% amid competitive pricing, but guidance of 3.75% for FY27 was reaffirmed.
Hexa Perspective
Can Fin Homes' quarter tells a story of short-term pain for long-term gain. The profit growth is respectable, but it was achieved despite a self-imposed drag on the top line. The market's focus is now squarely on the promised second-half disbursement rebound.
The key question is execution. The guidance implies a near-doubling of the quarterly disbursement run-rate. This hinges on the new IT system delivering operational ease and the sales force expanding as planned. If achieved, the current margin pressure could ease with greater volume. If not, the valuation discount to the industry may persist.
