Primary focus of the management is to better asset quality and customer experience and choose right customers to mitigate credit risk. Maintain ‘HOLD’ rating on the stock. Re-rating can happen if MMFS continues to show strong AUM growth and write-offs start reducing on a QoQ basis. Maintain ‘HOLD’.
