Muthoot Finance Ltd shares surged about 10% on Thursday, also hitting a new 52-week high of ₹2,800, following stellar June quarter results, in which gold loan assets under management (AUM) rose 40% year-on-year (y-o-y) and 10% quarter-on-quarter. The management expects traction to sustain in FY26.

This shouldn't be surprising given the steep rise in gold price (now around ₹1 lakh/10 gm), which means a higher value of collateral for gold loan financiers and a boost to their AUMs.
