Sri Lanka's Finance Sector Deep-Dive: 8 Companies Compared + LOLC's Rs 16B Buyback Explained

Every listed finance company in Sri Lanka grew loans between 39% and 91% last year — and not one of them funded that mainly with deposits. Full sector comparison, plus a close look at LOLC Finance's new Rs 16 billion share buyback. IN THIS VIDEO: • An independent, sourced comparison of 8 CSE-listed licensed finance companies: LB Finance, LOLC Finance, People's Leasing, CDB, Vallibel Finance, Singer Finance, HNB Finance and Mercantile Investments • Which company ranks highest on operating quality — and why the ranking follows the disclosures, not a preference • The sector-wide funding gap: loans grew roughly Rs 594bn, deposits only about Rs 217bn — so where did the rest of the money come from • A full breakdown of LOLC Finance's second share buyback in about 12 months — what it does to regulatory capital, to the public float (which the company already discloses is below the CSE minimum), and why "it's basically a dividend" doesn't survive contact with the actual numbers • Where each company's real risk sits — capital headroom, asset quality, and who has the thinnest cushion WHAT THIS IS AND ISN'T: This is independent equity research based on audited and interim financial statements, official company announcements and regulatory disclosures. It is for educational purposes only. Nothing in this video is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and no price targets are given. I may hold positions in securities discussed.
