As compared to its peers, Manappuram Finance has proved to be multi-bagger and the top gainer in the industry. Can Fin Homes generated 450 percent returns in the last 5 years, while Cholamandalam Invest clocked 274 percent returns during the same period.

For Q4, the company recorded 43 percent growth at Rs 255.59 crore against Rs 179.05 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal. The company reported a full-year consolidated PAT of Rs 919.87crore, an increase of 36 percent over the previous year.

The company’s assets under management (AUM) stood at Rs 19,438 crore, registering a growth of 23.30 percent compared to Rs 15,765 crore in the previous year.

"Manappuram Finance Q4FY19 performance was primarily led by robust growth in the non-gold business and lower provisions. Overall AUM growth of 23 percent YoY was led by 60 percent growth from non-gold business," Axis Securities said in a report.

About one-third of the portfolio is non-gold which the management plans to increase to half of overall AUM. In the backdrop of liquidity concerns in the NBFC segment, impact on the company has been minimal since their assets are short-tenure in nature, it added.

The brokerage believes that pick-up in AUMs, stable asset quality, benign gold price, and favourable regulatory environment will be positive for the company and that focus on the shorter tenor of product has helped the company in containing asset quality pressures.

Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) issued show-cause notices to five asset management companies (AMCs) for using price-sensitive information to trade in March 2013.
