Being a NBFC focused on the two-wheeler segment, Manba has managed to deliver strong performance despite a weak rural recovery post-COVID. Most analysts have recommended subscribing to Manba Finance IPO on the back of the company’s consistent growth, industry prospects and fair valuation.

“Manba witnessed its GNPA peak out in FY22 at 4.9% which is much lower compared to other vehicle financiers. Further on the back of a low base and expansion in new geographies, Manba has been able to grow its AUM at 37% CAGR over FY22-24 and has generated ROA/ROE of 2.3%/10.1% which is in line with other listed vehicle financiers, while its valuation appears attractive at FY24 P/B of 1.7x (post issue). Thus we recommend subscribing to the issue,” said Nirmal Bang.
