What actually moves these companies

Microfinance institutions lend small amounts, mostly to rural borrowers and mostly without collateral, and they are regulated by Nepal Rastra Bank like any other bank.

They are the most volatile financial names on the exchange. Small float, high price, and a heavy habit of paying returns as bonus shares rather than cash.

Worth knowing: Prices here look enormous next to their book value. That is a float story as much as an earnings story, so a high price is not by itself evidence of a strong lender.

All 49 are listed: Aarambha Chautari Laghubitta Bittya Sanstha Limited (ACLBSL), Asha Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Ltd. (ALBSL), Aatmanirbhar Laghubitta Bittitya Sanstha Limited (ANLB), Aviyan laghubittya bittiya sanstha limited (AVYAN), Chhimek Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited (CBBL), CYC Nepal laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited (CYCL), Deprosc Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited (DDBL), Dhaulagiri laghubitta Sanstha Limited (DLBS), and 41 more listed below. That is 17.5% of the 280 companies listed on NEPSE.
