India’s NSDL shares dropped 5.54% post-Q1 FY26 results, with net profit up 15% YoY to ₹89.63 crore despite a 7.5% revenue dip. Since its August 2025 listing, the stock has gained 24.48%. Experts point to strong market leadership but urge measured entry amid volatility.
Shares of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) fell 5.54% to ₹1,227 on Wednesday after the company announced its Q1 FY26 results. The decline came despite a 15% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹89.63 crore, driven by cost efficiencies as expenses dropped over 14% to ₹228 crore. Revenue from operations fell 7.5% to ₹312 crore from ₹337 crore in the same quarter last year and declined more than 14% sequentially from ₹364 crore in Q4 FY25, signaling some short-term pressure on topline growth. Earnings per share rose to ₹4.48, reflecting improved profitability despite lower revenues.
