Synopsis: Aye Finance Limited has delivered a blockbuster performance for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, characterized by high operational efficiency and a massive surge in profitability. Following its successful IPO in February 2026, the micro-enterprise lender has reported a doubling of its net profit, driven by robust collection efficiencies and a strategic expansion of its “phygital” lending model across India’s underserved business clusters.
In a regulatory filing dated April 27, 2026, Aye Finance Limited (AYE) announced its audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, showcasing a year of transformative scale.
The company’s bottom line showed explosive momentum in the final stretch of the fiscal year, with net profit rising 111.08 percent to Rs. 85.91 crore in the March 2026 quarter, compared to Rs. 40.70 crore in the same period last year. Sales for the quarter also saw a healthy climb, rising 29.16 percent to Rs. 528.44 crore.
This surge in Q4 profitability significantly bolstered the full-year results, bringing the annual net profit to Rs. 193.63 crore, a 13.06 percent increase over the previous year. The company’s Assets Under Management (AUM) reached a milestone of Rs. 7,044 crore, supported by a disciplined focus on asset quality.
This is evidenced by a yearly high in non-overdue collection efficiency of 99.5 percent and a steady improvement in Gross NPA to 4.77 percent. The successful IPO earlier in the quarter, which raised Rs. 710 crore, has provided the necessary capital cushion to support the company’s aggressive 28-33 percent AUM growth target for the coming years.
The market responded with a vertical rally. On April 27, 2026, the stock surged 8.99 percent to Rs. 146.99, hitting a new 52-week high of Rs. 158.00. Following its February listing, the stock has delivered a massive 47 percent return in just one month, significantly outperforming the NIFTY IPO index.
Backed by a Rs. 710 crore capital infusion from its recent IPO, Aye Finance is targeting a 30 percent AUM growth rate. With improved asset quality (GNPA at 4.77 percent) and a maturing 571-branch network, the company is positioned as a high-efficiency leader in the NBFC-ML sector.
