Q1 FY26 Results: Early earnings show slowdown in revenue, profit growth; analysts see double-digit gains ahead
According to an ET report, growth momentum has slowed to its lowest in at least nine quarters, largely due to muted performance from key sectors like banking, finance, FMCG, and IT.
Among 186 companies that have announced results so far, net profit rose 18.5% year-on-year, the highest in five quarters. However, this strong growth was largely due to a one-time gain by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), which earned Rs 8,924 crore from the sale of its stake in Asian Paints.
Revenue growth, however, slowed to just 4.6%, the weakest in at least nine quarters.
Shares of RIL fell 2.4% on Monday to a day's low of Rs 1,441.95 on the BSE, following the announcement of its Q1FY26 results.
When RIL's figures are excluded, revenue and profit showed growth of 5.7% and 7.3% respectively, marking nine-quarter lows for both metrics, ET reported.
RIL's contribution to the sample's net profit increased to 24.4% in the June quarter from 16.4% in the previous year, significantly influencing overall profit growth. Its revenue share showed a slight decrease to 31.8% from 32.5% year-on-year.
The banking and finance sector displayed weak performance due to compressed net interest margins and reduced credit uptake.

Companies in this sector reported their lowest nine-quarter growth, with revenue at 6.4% and net profit at 5.1% year-on-year for the June quarter.
IT sector companies in the sample recorded their lowest five-quarter performance, with revenue growth at 3.4% and profit growth at 4.6%.
Analysts had expected double-digit profit growth driven by sectors including capital goods, cement, healthcare, oil and gas, and telecom at the quarter's start.
"The key highlight of the quarter is anticipated to be the better sectoral breadth of earnings growth. Multiple sectors are expected to post double-digit profit growth," Motilal Oswal Securities said in a preview report.
The current analysis is based on a small number of early results, as more companies release their earnings in the coming weeks, a clearer picture of overall performance is expected to emerge.

CoinDCX offers 25% bounty to recover stolen crypto in $44-mn hack
CoinDCX, one of India's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a recovery bounty program after suffering a security breach that led to the loss of approximately $44 million (around Rs 379 crore). The company is offering up to 25 per cent of the recovered funds as a reward to those who help retrieve the stolen crypto and assist in identifying and bringing the attackers to justice. If all lost assets are recovered, the bounty could reach a total value of $11 million (Rs 94.6 crore). In a statement, CoinDCX emphasised that the effort goes beyond just recovering funds — it's about uniting the Web3 community to stand against cybercrime. 'This is not just about us. This is about standing up for what's right, for the safety, transparency, and future of the entire Web3 ecosystem. It's a war against cybercrime,' the company said. Co-founder Neeraj Khandelwal highlighted that the breach was not only an attack on CoinDCX but on trust itself. 'When one of us is targeted, all of us are affected. CoinDCX is committed to using this incident as a turning point—to strengthen our defenses, reinforce transparency, and work with the best minds in the industry to make recovery real and replicable,' he said. He added that the company is actively working with an exchange partner to block and recover the stolen assets and is fully committed to the recovery effort. 'We will emerge from this stronger, together,' Khandelwal said. The company also issued a call to action, inviting ethical hackers, white-hat researchers, and partners across the ecosystem to join the fight against cybercrime.

Dodla Dairy Q1 net dips to ₹62.8 crore
Dodla Dairy's consolidated net profit declined marginally for the quarter ended June at ₹62.8 crore compared to the ₹65 crore a year earlier. The lower net profit came on more than 10% increase in the revenue from operations to nearly ₹1,007 crore (₹911.59 crore). It was the highest-ever revenue registered by the company and coincided with its highest-ever procurement of 18.7 LLPD. Managing Director Dodla Sunil Reddy said several factors influenced the performance. 'Our Indian operations were impacted due to a shorter summer, resulting in lower sales from summer related VAP products like curd, lassi and ice cream. On the African side, while the business increased in revenue terms, our margins fell due to the focus on capturing higher market share in Kenya with the operations of the new plant in that region,' he said. The impact of these factors became even more pronounced as the performance in the corresponding quarter last year was very strong in both markets across the product portfolio, he said. On Monday, the company's shares declined 7.57% to close at ₹1,337.35 each on the BSE.
