COMPANY FINANCIALS

The assets of the company are increasing at a very high rate. This signals that the bank is going through a rapid phase of expansion. One good news among this expansion is that the bank has posted its first year of profits. The 2021 year recorded 200 Crore Rs of profits. The previous years registered almost 600 and 300 Crore Rs of losses in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Alone with this one thing to note is the revenue of the company. The revenue is not growing in pace with the assets. This can be a sign of concern but nothing can be said surely due to the initial phase of the company. It has completed 4 years of banking in India and yet has a long journey to move forward. One can invest in the firm with a vision of 4 to 5 years for multibagger returns.
