India’s key stocks saw a mixed bag of quarterly earnings. While Tata Power, MCX, and GR Infraprojects posted strong profit growth, ITC and ABB India faced margin pressures. Federal Bank’s results disappointed, while Dilip Buildcon secured a major metro project. These developments are likely to shape market sentiment in the coming sessions.
A range of prominent Indian companies announced their quarterly results this week, revealing a blend of solid earnings growth, operational resilience, and margin pressures. Investors are closely watching these developments as they shape equity trends in the domestic market.
ITC Ltd
ITC Ltd reported strong revenue growth of 20.6% YoY to ₹19,749 crore for Q1FY26. EBITDA increased marginally by 2.9% to ₹6,261 crore. However, operating margins contracted sharply to 31.7%, down from 37% last year, primarily due to elevated leaf tobacco costs. Net profit stood nearly flat at ₹4,912 crore, reflecting cost pressures despite strong topline performance.
Tata Power Company Ltd
Tata Power posted a 6.2% YoY rise in net profit to ₹1,262.3 crore, with revenue climbing 4.6% to ₹18,035 crore. The results point to consistent growth in core operations, supported by strategic renewable energy expansion and improved asset performance.

LIC Housing Finance Ltd
LIC Housing Finance delivered a steady 4.4% YoY increase in net profit, clocking ₹1,364 crore. Operating revenue reached ₹7,233 crore, up 7% YoY, while net interest income stood at ₹2,076 crore. Improved loan disbursements and stable asset quality contributed to the growth.
Federal Bank
Federal Bank posted a disappointing Q1FY26, with net profit declining 14.7% YoY to ₹861.8 crore. Asset quality weakened slightly, as gross non-performing assets (GNPA) rose to 1.91%, and net NPAs moved to 0.48%. Analysts flagged slower loan growth and provisioning pressure as key challenges.
Dilip Buildcon Ltd
Dilip Buildcon, in joint venture with a financial institution, emerged as one of the lowest bidders for a major metro rail contract in Gurugram valued at ₹1,503.6 crore. The project includes elevated stations, a viaduct, and an underpass, boosting the company’s infrastructure order book significantly.
ABB India Ltd
ABB India reported a 20.7% YoY drop in net profit to ₹351.7 crore in Q2CY25. EBITDA fell 27% to ₹441 crore, with margin contraction to 13% due to forex volatility and exceptional expenses. The board announced an interim dividend of ₹9.77 per share.

GR Infraprojects Ltd
GR Infraprojects reported a robust 57% YoY increase in Q1FY26 net profit to ₹244 crore, despite a 2.1% dip in revenue to ₹1,988 crore. The firm displayed strong margin resilience even as topline performance remained subdued, underscoring operational efficiency in infrastructure execution.
RailTel Corporation of India
RailTel secured an advance work order worth ₹166.38 crore from a telecom provider for long-term service-based work, to be executed over three years. The deal enhances RailTel’s order visibility and reaffirms its role in India’s digital connectivity expansion.
Multi-Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (MCX)
MCX posted an impressive Q1FY26 with a 49.9% sequential surge in net profit to ₹203 crore. Revenue increased 28.2% to ₹373 crore, driven by higher derivatives volumes and market activity. The board also approved a 1:5 stock split to enhance liquidity and affordability for retail investors.
Narayana Hrudayalaya
Narayana Health saw a modest 2.3% YoY decline in net profit to ₹192.6 crore, despite a 15.4% rise in revenue to ₹1,507 crore. EBITDA climbed 10.8% to ₹360 crore, though margins contracted slightly to 23.8%.
This earnings season underscores the divergent trends in India Inc. While power, housing finance, and infrastructure segments continue to show stability and growth, margin compression and rising input costs remain concerns in FMCG and manufacturing. Strategic capital spending and project wins are expected to provide near-term support for infra-heavy players like GR Infraprojects and Dilip Buildcon.
The equity market will closely watch macro indicators and management commentary to reassess growth momentum in upcoming quarters.
