National Stock Exchange of India reported revenue of ₹42.0 cr for October to December 2024, −19.2% on the year and +35.5% on the quarter.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹32.0 cr, a margin of 76.2%, +2,042 bps on the year and +845 bps on the quarter. It is the widest margin of the last 7 quarters (range 52.3% to 76.2%). Operating costs grew −56.5% against revenue growth of −19.2%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹24.0 cr, +9.1% on the year and +71.4% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹4.24. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 10.3%, so the profit growth came from the business itself. The tax rate of 26% is in line with its recent average.
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 ₹14.57 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹1,785.00 trades at 122.5 times trailing earnings.
Written from the quarterly statements. The filing read adds the balance sheet and cash flow, the auditor's review, segment results, one-off items line by line and what management said on the call.
No check fired. That is a statement about the checks below, not a verdict on the company.
Margin rose sharply on flat revenue. Which cost fell, and will it stay down?
