Q4FY26 PAT of ₹1,684 Cr flat QoQ (Q3: ₹1,802 Cr) and flat YoY vs Q4FY25’s ₹1,682 Cr — sequential moderation worth watching.

Margins

Finance costs fell from ₹20,493 Cr (FY25) to ₹20,005 Cr (FY26) — a rare 2.4% reduction — even as the loan/lease book expanded, pointing to improved cost of funds or favorable liability repricing.
Net interest spread widened: total income grew ₹182 Cr while finance costs dropped ₹488 Cr, expanding PBT margin from 23.9% (FY25) to 25.6% (FY26) — self-check: ₹7,009 / ₹27,338 = 25.6%; ₹6,502 / ₹27,156 = 23.9%. ✓
Impairment provisions surged to ₹124 Cr vs ₹0.68 Cr in FY25 — a 182x jump — though still small in absolute terms relative to book size.

Growth Trajectory

Lease receivables expanded 34.9%: ₹284,689 Cr → ₹383,942 Cr, the primary engine of asset-side growth.
Loan book (non-lease) scaled up sharply: ₹5,172 Cr → ₹35,950 Cr (+595%) — a new and significant growth vector worth monitoring for credit quality.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from operations surged 27.8% YoY (₹7,540 Cr → ₹9,638 Cr), sustaining the company’s multi-year high-growth arc in explosives and defence.
Q4FY26 revenue hit ₹3,053 Cr — up 40.9% YoY and 19.8% QoQ — signalling strong Q4 seasonality and order execution acceleration.
Q4 is disproportionately heavy; Q4FY26 alone contributed ~32% of full-year revenue, consistent with prior-year patterns.

Bottomline

Net profit grew 34.8% YoY (₹1,288 Cr → ₹1,737 Cr); Basic EPS expanded from ₹133.65 to ₹185.39 — a clean 38.7% jump.
Q4FY26 PAT of ₹856 Cr surged 147% YoY (₹346 Cr Q4FY25) — an outlier quarter; partly driven by tax line movements (note negative deferred tax of ₹0.76 Cr vs. ₹20.52 Cr in Q4FY25).
Profit growth is outpacing revenue growth, indicating operating leverage is kicking in.

Margins

Full-year operating margin improved modestly: 23.67% → 24.10% (+43 bps YoY). Net profit margin: 17.08% → 17.65% (+57 bps).

Growth Trajectory

Revenue CAGR implied over two years is substantial; FY26 at ₹9,638 Cr vs FY25 at ₹7,540 Cr vs FY24 (not provided) — but the sequential step-up is large and consistent.
Depreciation jumped 38.1% YoY (₹182 Cr → ₹251 Cr), reflecting capacity commissioning — growth capex is translating into productive assets.
Net worth grew 42.2% YoY (₹4,413 Cr → ₹6,277 Cr), driven by retained earnings — balance sheet self-funds growth meaningfully.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Interest income surged 54.5% YoY (₹1,96,629 Mn → ₹3,03,709 Mn), driven by a 48.3% expansion in the loan book (₹12,05,779 Mn → ₹17,88,568 Mn) — volume and yield both working in tandem.
Total revenue from operations grew 54.4% YoY (₹2,02,142 Mn → ₹3,12,092 Mn); Q4FY26 alone at ₹92,887 Mn is 65.2% higher than Q4FY25 (₹56,217 Mn), showing no deceleration.
Service charges and fee income grew 43.2% (₹3,035 Mn → ₹4,347 Mn), a faster-than-book-growth signal of deepening customer monetisation.

Bottomline

Net profit nearly doubled: ₹53,524 Mn → ₹1,06,069 Mn (+98.2%); Q4FY26 net profit at ₹33,975 Mn is 135.3% above Q4FY25 (₹14,439 Mn) — a blowout quarter.
PBT margin expanded from 35.9% in FY25 to 45.8% in FY26 (PBT ₹1,43,048 Mn / Total income ₹3,12,634 Mn vs ₹72,660 Mn / ₹2,02,651 Mn) — operating leverage is exceptional for an NBFC.
Basic EPS doubled: ₹132.84 → ₹263.79 (+98.6%), compressing the earnings multiple for existing holders.

Margins

Net profit margin: 34.0% in FY26 (₹1,06,069 / ₹3,12,092) vs 26.5% in FY25 (₹53,524 / ₹2,02,142) — a 750 bps expansion driven primarily by a 35% fall in impairment charges.
Impairment on financial instruments fell 34.9% (₹15,756 Mn → ₹10,261 Mn) against a 48% loan book expansion — reflects gold loan collateral quality and improving credit performance.
Finance costs grew 48.4% (₹74,123 Mn → ₹1,09,996 Mn), broadly in line with loan book growth — net interest spread is being maintained.

Growth Trajectory

Loan book CAGR at current trajectory is above 40%; the sequential quarterly revenue run-rate (Q3: ₹81,876 Mn, Q4: ₹92,887 Mn) points to FY27 revenue well above ₹3.5 Lakh Mn.
Profit compounding is even faster than revenue — the impairment normalisation cycle has been a multiplier on earnings that may moderate in FY27 as the low-credit-cost base effect diminishes.
Employee costs grew 27.2% (₹21,950 Mn → ₹27,911 Mn) — slower than revenue, confirming operating leverage through network productivity gains.
