LIC Housing Finance (LICHSGFIN) Q4 FY24 Results Preview, LIC Housing Stock Price: LIC Housing Finance (LICHSGFIN) is all set to report its financial results for the quarter as well as the year ended March 31 on Wednesday, May 15. Analysts expect the Mumbai-headquartered housing finance company to stage a largely positive set of earnings for the fourth and final quarter of FY24 owing to a rise in credit cost and lacklustre growth in loan disbursements.

LIC Housing Finance's loan growth in the fourth quarter of the last financial year is estimated to be in the tune of 5-7 per cent, according to the research.
Zee Business analysts expect the NBFC's asset quality to remain largely stable, pegging its gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) as a percentage of total loans at 4.2 per cent for the March quarter as against 4.26 per cent three months ago. They estimate its net non-performing assets (NNPAs) at 2.2 per cent in the March quarter as against 2.24 per cent in the October-December period.
