AHC Group

Australian Finance Group (ASX: AFG) is a major mortgage aggregator in Australia with a market cap of $419 million. It earns revenue from brokers who pay commissions on home loans, with 74% of mortgages arranged through brokers. AFG has faced lower profits due to increased cash rates affecting net interest margins and competition from banks. Despite a 22.3% drop in NPAT for FY24, total revenue rose by 7%. AFG's balance sheet is strong, with no debt and significant cash reserves. The company is lobbying for a public RMBS scheme and may benefit from the end of the Term Funding Facility. Risks include potential regulatory changes to broker commissions. The share price offers good value at around $1.55, with expectations for future growth and dividends.
