Leading Leasing Finance Faces Profit Decline Amid Strong Long-Term Growth Indicators

Leading Leasing Finance & Investment Company, a microcap player in the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) sector, has recently undergone an adjustment in evaluation. This revision reflects a shift in the technical trend, moving from a mildly bullish stance to a sideways position.
The company's performance indicators reveal a mixed picture. Over the past year, Leading Leasing Finance has achieved a notable return of 85.19%, significantly outperforming the BSE 500 index. However, this comes alongside a concerning decline in profits, which have fallen by 123.5%. The latest quarterly results for Q3 FY24-25 show a profit before tax of Rs -0.74 crore, marking a substantial drop, while the profit after tax reached its lowest at Rs -0.70 crore.

Despite these challenges, the company has demonstrated strong long-term fundamental strength, with operating profits growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.77%. Additionally, net sales have increased at an annual rate of 43.97%. The stock is currently trading at a premium compared to its peers, with a price-to-book value of 22.2, indicating a potentially expensive valuation.

With high institutional holdings at 43.39%, the company maintains a robust market position, although the technical indicators suggest a lack of clear price momentum at this time.
