On the reaction day the stock moved 1.5 pts more than Nifty 100 and 1.2 pts more than its Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC) peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Audited Q2 and H1 FY26 results showed assets under management up 21% year on year to Rs 214,906 crore. Q2 profit after tax was Rs 1,155 crore and H1 profit was Rs 2,291 crore, both up 20%. Total income rose 21% in Q2 and 23% in H1, but H1 loan losses increased 48%. The gross bad-loan ratio rose to 4.57% from 4.29% in June, while capital adequacy remained strong at 20.00%.
Strong income, profit and capital levels may support the stock, but higher loan losses and worsening bad loans may offset some gains.
