The shares of the prominent stock market broker gained up to 10 percent in today’s trading session after the company reported strong revenue & profit in Q4FY26. With a market capitalization of Rs 3,737.17 crore, the shares of Anand Rathi Share And Stock Brokers Ltd were trading at Rs 595.80 per share, increasing around 4 percent as compared to the previous closing price of Rs 573.50 apiece. Stock made a high of Rs. 628, up around 10 percent.

Q4FY26 Highlights

Anand Rathi Share And Stock Brokers Ltd reported a strong quarterly performance, with revenue rising 28% YoY from Rs 200 crore to Rs 256 crore, while QoQ growth remained modest at 3% (Rs 248 crore to Rs 256 crore). This indicates stable business momentum, though sequential growth suggests some moderation in activity despite continued client engagement.

Moreover, profitability improved sharply, with net profit surging 133% YoY from Rs 18 crore to Rs 42 crore, supported by operating leverage and better revenue mix. On a sequential basis, profit grew 14% (Rs 37 crore to Rs 42 crore), reflecting sustained earnings traction and improved cost efficiency even as revenue growth remained relatively steady.

For FY26, revenue increased 10% from Rs 846 crore to Rs 932 crore, while net profit rose a stronger 24% from Rs 104 crore to Rs 129 crore. This gap highlights margin expansion and scalability, suggesting the company is benefiting from a shift toward higher-yield segments, driving stronger earnings growth despite moderate topline expansion. The board also recommended a final dividend at 100%, i.e. Rs. 5 per Share (face value Rs. 5 per share) on the equity shares for the financial year 2025-26.

The sharp 61% YoY growth in the Margin Trading Facility book to ₹11,019 million reflects rising investor participation and increased risk appetite, indicating strong platform engagement. Meanwhile, AUM growth of 21% YoY to ₹77,876 million strengthens long-term revenue visibility, as a larger asset base ensures steady fee income and improves overall business stability and scalability.

The segmental performance shows a mixed trend, with core broking revenue growing modestly at 14.5% YoY in Q4 but declining 6.8% annually, indicating pressure in core operations. However, strong growth in high-yield segments like MTF interest (32.6% YoY) and distribution income (44.1%) highlights a strategic shift toward more profitable, scalable revenue streams, driving overall resilience.

Management comments

Commenting on the results, Mr. Pradeep Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, said the company navigated a challenging FY26 marked by weak investor sentiment and FII outflows, leading to a 6.8% dip in broking revenue. However, strong growth in MTF and distribution income supported overall performance, driving healthy revenue and profit growth, while diversification and rising AUM strengthened long-term stability.
