In today’s Market Guru segment, we break down the LIC MF Banking & Financial Services Fund, a high-conviction portfolio focused entirely on India’s financial growth story. The fund holds 33 stocks, with 69% allocation in the top 10 and over 98% exposure to banks and NBFCs.

Perfect for those tracking the banking sector’s role in India’s growth journey.
In this edition of Market Guru, Business Today speak to Yogesh Patil, CIO of LIC Mutual Fund, on why the fund is sharply increasing exposure to both public sector and private sector banks. Patil highlights that NPAs are at the lowest levels in a decade, corporate balance sheets are stronger, and credit growth is being driven more by consumers than corporates. With inflation moderating and interest rates stable, he believes the banking sector is entering a healthy and profitable phase. Patil expects double-digit credit growth to sustain over the next few years, supported by improving economic momentum and regulatory oversight. He explains why consumer-focused banking franchises could outperform and how LIC MF is positioning portfolios to benefit from India’s long-term financial growth cycle.
In this conversation, we break down the latest Q2 earnings from Paytm and Delhivery, and decode what it means for investors. Our expert notes that while Paytm’s reported profit was impacted by a one-off adjustment, its operational performance remains strong, and the second half could see better traction in revenue and margins. With improving sentiment in the fintech space and Paytm’s inclusion in the MSCI Index, long-term investors with a 12–18 month horizon can consider it a structural opportunity. On the other hand, Delhivery’s Q2 loss and leadership changes raise concerns. Despite strong shipment volumes, inconsistency in earnings remains a key issue. The advice: hold and wait for clarity, rather than fresh buying.

Market veteran Daljeet Singh Kohli says gold’s movement isn’t driven by fundamentals - it’s ruled by sentiment, inflation, and central bank policies. Unlike equities, gold has no measurable intrinsic value, making it a hedge against uncertainty rather than a growth asset. Kohli believes global instability and inflation concerns will keep gold steady in the near term, but warns new investors to moderate their expectations. “If you entered at ₹100, fine. But at ₹150, don’t expect the same returns,” he says. His advice: hold if you already own, but avoid chasing fresh highs. Gold, he adds, will stay relevant—but not rewarding in the short run.

Aastha Chopra of BTTV spoke to Amrish Rau, CMD and CEO of Pine Labs, who confirmed the company is steering clear of lending and NBFC licensing, staying purely a technology-first fintech. He said Pine Labs is clocking nearly 60% GTV growth, 50% rise in transactions, 30% merchant addition annually, and delivering around 20% adjusted EBITDA. Rau clarified they monetise technology platforms for banks, retailers and financial institutions, not MDR margins. With all top five banks, top offline retailers and leading e-commerce and q-commerce players as clients, Pine Labs is preparing for its IPO and plans to use the proceeds to scale globally and deepen product innovation across fintech services.
Aditya Khemka, CIO at InCred Asset Management, shares why he believes selective PSU banks and NBFCs could outperform in the coming quarters. He explains how large PSU banks have almost caught up with private banks on key operational metrics such as volume growth, NPAs and ROIs — yet continue to trade at significant valuation discounts. Khemka argues that as these operational gaps narrow, PSU bank valuations are likely to converge towards private peers. He also highlights opportunities in secured and MSME-focused NBFCs, supported by government loan guarantees and improved asset quality.
