Aditya Birla Capital Ltd. reported revenue of ₹13,459 cr for January to March 2026, +10.2% on the year and +12.6% on the quarter. It is the highest quarterly revenue in the last 12 quarters on record. Over the last four quarters revenue comes to ₹45,509 cr, +12.1% on the four before.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹1,434 cr, a margin of 10.7%, +75 bps on the year and −44 bps on the quarter. Over the last 8 quarters the margin has ranged from 9.9% to 37.8%, averaging 14.5%. Operating costs grew +9.3% against revenue growth of +10.2%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹1,047 cr, +18.2% on the year and +8.4% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹3.86. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 18.4%, so the profit growth came from the business itself. The tax rate of 27% is in line with its recent average. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹3,828 cr, +12.3% on the four before.
Asset managers and brokers earn fees on assets and activity, so revenue follows market levels and flows; treasury income can lift other income in a good market quarter. The quarterly statements do not carry assets under management, flows and the yield on assets; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹14.25 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹378.50 trades at 26.6 times trailing earnings.
