ETtech Explainer: Why are fintechs and their investors going after secured loans?
Live Events More and more fintech lending startups focusing on secured credit products such as loans against property (LAP), and loans against securities like mutual funds, are attracting venture capital (VC) home financing players like Vridhi Home Finance, Basic Home Loans, Easy Home Finance and others have been attracting venture investors, with their promise to bring about technology disruption in the sector. ETtech explains:Secured lending business is a financial service that provides loans to borrowers against collateral such as a vehicle or property. While banks and traditional non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have been offering secured credit like home loans and auto loans for years, fintechs stayed away from these products, given the need for physical operations to evaluate the properties and assets. But now, startups are investing in branches and are building on-street teams to manage these shift comes as unsecured lending platforms witness a slowdown in the market, prompting startups to move towards secured credit products. Fintech platforms, including Paytm and Mobikwik, faced revenue pressure as banks and NBFCs scaled back on unsecured lending over the last few quarters. Even new-age NBFCs like Fibe, Kissht and others have seen stress on their books as new loan sanctioning slowed down. These trends have led to fintechs scouting for opportunities in secured Home Finance, Basic Home Loan, and Vridhi Home Finance together received nearly $150 million in equity capital from venture funds like Elevation Capital, Bertelsmann India Investments, Norwest Venture Partners, and Ranjan Pai's Claypond Capital. Mahaveer Finance, an NBFC based in Chennai, has raised $23 million from Elevation Capital and others with the aim of adding LAP and other similar NBFC Techfino has recently raised around $7.5 million from Stellaris Venture Partners and Saison Capital. Founded in 2019, the fintech company operates secured and unsecured lending models. The company focusses on secured more businesses move towards secured products, the unsecured lending startups are jumping onto the bandwagon. Fintech players Cred, BharatPe, and Paytm have announced a similar entry into secured products over the past year. Unsecured lending players like Kissht, Loantap, Fibe, and Kreditbee ventured into secured lending products such as are reducing their operational costs by making branches more efficient and leveraging technology to save costs and compete with big businesses. 'Traditionally, 70% to 80% of a housing finance company's costs go into running physical branches. We're bringing that down to 40% to 50% by leveraging technology, which enables lower customer acquisition costs and better interest rates,' said Atul Monga, CEO, Basic Home banks and larger NBFCs, branch expansions, while keeping costs in control, will remain a challenge for these while being attractive, tends to show up high non-performing assets (NPAs), which means fintechs will need to invest in strong collection teams. TransUnion Cibil's data released in January showed that LAP books showed among the highest NPA trends. As of September 2024, 1.7% of the LAPs were due for 90 days or more, said the report.'Investments in physical assets and branches would eat into the delta that fintechs can make between the cost of borrowing and rates they can offer their customers,' said Rohit Chokhani, founder, Easy Home Finance. 'This business will be sustainable only when there is a major scale.'

Bernstein predicts Paytm shares to rally by 23%, cites ‘several near-term catalysts'
Global brokerage firm Bernstein has assigned a target price of Rs 1,100 to Paytm, signalling a significant 23.4% upside potential for the stock from its Wednesday closing price. The firm maintained an "Outperform" rating on Paytm, citing several key catalysts expected to drive the stock higher in the near term. ADVERTISEMENT In its analysis, Bernstein projects that Paytm's earnings per share (EPS) growth will follow a non-linear trajectory, supported by current revenue lines growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 20%, while indirect expenses are expected to grow at a more modest CAGR of 10%. This, Bernstein highlights, could lead to an EPS of INR 70 by FY30E, bringing the stock price closer to the target of Rs 1,100. Here's what Bernstein highlighted:Non-linear EPS growth: Bernstein's analysis of Paytm's future growth is underpinned by a base case that assumes a CAGR of 20% in current revenue lines, with indirect expenses growing at around a 10% would translate to a target EPS of INR 70 by FY30E, which supports the target price of INR 1,100. Bernstein expects several near-term catalysts to drive this potential upside. ADVERTISEMENT Bernstein projects that direct costs for Paytm will grow at a CAGR of 16% (FY25-30E), while indirect expenses are anticipated to increase at a 10% CAGR. This is expected to result in a 22% revenue CAGR, aided by an increasing share of high-margin lending emphasises the stability of Paytm's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) market share, along with unchanged net payments margin (NPM). The brokerage believes that the potential rise in NPM from an increased share of UPI payments could offset the impact of a higher share of UPI payments in Paytm's payments mix. ADVERTISEMENT Also read: Mukesh Ambani's masterstroke: Rs 500 crore bet delivers Rs 9,000 crore windfall gain for Reliance Industries Bernstein forecasts that loan disbursal will grow to around 3.6x FY24 volume. This assumes that Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) products do not revive, and the volume of personal and merchant loans disbursed on the platform will grow at a 35% CAGR between FY25E and FY30E, which will drive significant revenue for the expects a 15% CAGR in Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs) for Paytm, driven by improvements in consumer engagement and platform usability. The firm suggests that near-term catalysts could help the company grow MTUs, potentially benefiting from a revival of its Payment Aggregator (PA) license application. ADVERTISEMENT Despite the optimistic outlook, Bernstein also highlights a number of key risks that could impact Paytm's future trajectory. These include: A possible return to a high operating expenditure (opex) growth trajectory, driven by increased competition in the market or the pursuit of "moonshot" projects The inability to halt the decline in Paytm's market share in UPI payments, coupled with a potential deterioration in the company's loan distribution business Regulatory changes that could further impact Paytm's operations, particularly any that would weaken its loan distribution business. Beyond the base case scenario, Bernstein identifies significant upside potential if Paytm can capitalise on additional opportunities. These include the potential revival of Paytm's BNPL product and approval for its Payment Aggregator (PA) license. ADVERTISEMENT The brokerage firm also notes that the approval for the PA license could signal a higher probability of Paytm eventually obtaining an NBFC license, although it believes the probability of these "moonshot" options playing out remains shares of Paytm closed 3% higher at Rs 891.30 on the BSE on Wednesday.
