Should you buy Shriram Finance stock?

Attractive valuation and healthy growth prospects make this stock a long-term bet.

According to brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services, the FY26 outlook looks better for the company amid expectations of an economic revival, supported by forecasts of a favorable monsoon and higher government capex.

“Favourable monsoons can lead to a higher agricultural output and stronger rural cash flows, which in turn will drive credit demand across the vehicle finance and MSME segments. These factors would improve disbursement momentum and portfolio quality in FY26,” Motilal said.

On the valuation front, Motilal highlighted that the stock’s valuations have already re-rated from 1.4 times to 1.9 times one-year forward P/BV over the last 12 months. The brokerage firm believes the stock can see a further re-rating if the company sustains its AUM growth, improves margins and exhibits stability in its asset quality.

“Shriram Finance remains our top pick in the NBFC space for calendar year 2026, driven by its diversified portfolio, strong execution and healthy return ratios. We reiterate our buy rating on the stock with a target price of ₹800, based on two times FY27E P/BV,” said Motilal Oswal.

The brokerage firm expects Shriram Finance to deliver a PAT CAGR of nearly 19 per cent over FY25-27E and RoA (return on assets) and RoE (return on equity) of 3.3 per cent and 17 peer cent, respectively, in FY27E.

Technical experts also appear largely positive but they suggest waiting for a breakout above ₹665-680 range for initiating a buy in the stock.

Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, pointed out that Shriram Finance is currently facing resistance near ₹665, which coincides with the R3 Camarilla monthly pivot.

“While the overall chart structure appears constructive, we recommend waiting for a decisive daily close above ₹665 before initiating fresh long positions. Upon confirmation, the stock may target ₹700, with a stop loss placed at ₹640 on a daily closing basis,” said Patel.

According to Kunal Kamble, Senior Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza, Shriram Finance is currently trading near a falling trendline resistance on the daily timeframe.

“The stock has witnessed consistent selling pressure between the ₹710–715 zone, indicating a lack of buyer conviction and limited upside momentum. The 20-day and 50-day EMAs remain flat, reflecting a sideways trend in the stock. Momentum indicators are also muted, with the RSI at 48.01, signalling weak bullish strength,” Kamble said.

“From a technical standpoint, a decisive close above ₹680 would be needed to confirm a breakout, post which the stock may move towards ₹716 and ₹735,” said Kamble.
