Muthoot Finance Rallies as Gold Loan Growth Accelerates on Rising Prices

Muthoot Finance shares climbed sharply after the company reported strong quarterly performance driven by accelerating gold loan demand. Higher global gold prices boosted borrowing activity and improved asset yields, supporting double-digit earnings growth. Investors reacted positively to expansion in loan volumes, strengthened collateral values, and rising interest spreads. Market sentiment remained constructive as the gold financing segment continued to outperform other retail credit categories. Analysts noted that recent risk-off behavior in broader equities enhanced the appeal of gold-backed lending institutions.
