Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Poonawalla Fincorp's board approved Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) unaudited results showing total income of Rs. 1,314.01 crore, up about 32% YoY from Rs. 995.86 crore, driven by strong interest income growth. However, profit after tax fell sharply to Rs. 62.60 crore from Rs. 291.64 crore in Q1 FY25, due to higher finance costs, employee expenses, and impairment provisions. EPS dropped to Rs. 0.81 from Rs. 3.79. The board approved a preferential issue of 3.31 crore equity shares at Rs. 452.51 per share to promoter Rising Sun Holdings, raising approximately Rs. 1,500 crore, which will increase promoter holding from 62.46% to 63.99%. Additionally, the NCD issuance limit was doubled from Rs. 10,000 crore to Rs. 20,000 crore, and overall borrowing limits were raised from Rs. 50,000 crore to Rs. 75,000 crore for FY26.
The capital infusion from the promoter signals strong confidence in the company's growth and will strengthen its capital base for NBFC expansion, but results show margin pressure with significant PAT decline despite revenue growth. Existing minority shareholders face dilution from the promoter-led preferential issue, though debt-equity remains elevated at 3.72x.
