While the PSU NBFC posted a 2% year-on-year (YoY) rise in standalone net profit to Rs 4,462 crore from Rs 4,370 crore in Q2 FY25, the modest growth seems to have fallen short of market expectations and likely contributed to investor concerns.
Sequentially, the profit after tax (PAT) dipped 0.9% from Rs 4,501 crore reported in Q1 FY26.
However, Net Interest Income (NII) showed robust performance, rising 20% YoY to Rs 5,290 crore. The company also announced a second interim dividend of Rs 3.65 per share, with a record date set as November 26, 2025, and payment to be completed by December 6, 2025.
PFC’s total revenue from operations stood at Rs 14,755 crore, marking a 12% YoY increase and 7% growth quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). Its dividend income was reported at Rs 13,473 crore, lower than Rs 13,739 crore in Q1 but up from Rs 11,909 crore in Q2 FY25.
On a consolidated basis, the bottom line rose 9% YoY to Rs 7,834 crore but declined 13% QoQ from Rs 8,981 crore in the April-June quarter. Consolidated revenue reached Rs 28,901 crore, up 12% YoY, with a marginal 1% sequential rise.
