Five-Star Business Finance reported Q1FY26 results with Assets Under Management (AUM) up 20% YoY to Rs 12,458 Cr and PAT up 6% to Rs 266 Cr. However, asset quality showed an uptick, with Gross Stage 3 assets increasing to 2.46%. Management noted this reflects a continued overleverage crisis, leading to cautious growth; disbursements were Rs 1,290 Cr.
