Why not to invest in Edelweiss Financial Services NCD?
Let us review some of the negative factors or risk factors in this NCD issue.
- Company consolidated revenues have fallen in FY2022 compared to previous years. However, for FY23 we could see a good improvement. You will not see such info in RHP of the NCD.
- Company share price appreciated by just 3.5% in the last 3 years and yet to gain investor confidence.
- High levels of customer defaults and the resultant non-performing assets could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and future financial performance.

Edelweiss Financial Services NCD Bonds โ Oct-2023 Issue โ Should you invest?
- These NCDโs offer high interest rates. Though banks have increased the FD interest rates these days, they are still low compared to the interest rates offered in these NCDs. These NCDs are rated as CRISIL AA-/Negative by CRISIL Ratings. Also, secured NCD bonds are relatively safer compared to unsecured bonds while risk is not 100% eliminated.
- On the other hand, credit ratings may change in future. In the last 5 years, company revenues have fallen and margins are shrinking, however, started regaining now from FY23. One should not forget about some of the NBFC companies defaulted NCD payments or some NBFCs delaying NCD re-payments in the last few years.
High risk investors who understand all these risk factors can invest in these NCDs. However, investors can avoid long term NCD bonds of 120 months and opt for short to medium tenure bonds as we do not know how such companies would turn in the long term.
