Consolidated revenue came in at Rs.448.1 crore (+31.3% YoY) and EBITDA at Rs.200.6 crore (+45.2%), a 429 basis-point margin expansion. The print is a direct data point for the platform-and-brokerage thesis: revenue held up while average daily turnover fell, confirming that subscription and algorithmic product lines are now carrying the income line rather than per-trade commissions.
Segment breakdown
Broking and trading contributed Rs.426.6 crore of revenue and Rs.188.5 crore of EBIT for the quarter, both up sharply YoY. NBFC added Rs.14.6 crore revenue and Rs.8.2 crore EBIT. Merchant banking delivered Rs.5 crore versus Rs.2.7 crore YoY, supported by continued IPO advisory work—the firm has now been involved in 23 listings. Insurance broking premiums dropped to Rs.9.6 crore from Rs.21.4 crore in Q4 FY26, with segment EBIT at Rs.0.2 crore; total lives covered still rose to 1,12,800. Average daily trading turnover fell to Rs.9,000 crore from Rs.10,900 crore in Q4 FY26, yet consolidated revenue and margin still expanded.
Platform and credit metrics
uTrade Algos, the company's algo product, reports 72,507 cumulative subscriptions and 6,543 paid subscribers—recurring revenue that does not require re-acquisition each month. Margin Trading Facility AUM grew 47.8% YoY to Rs.465.5 crore. Institutional client accounts expanded from 144 to 212 over the same period. Share India Fincap posted GNPA at 4.05%, NNPA at 2.26%, loan book roughly flat at Rs.268.2 crore, and return on assets at 1.71% versus 0.48% a year ago.
