Angel One Q1FY26 results
In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Angel One's profit after tax (PAT) declined to ₹114.5 crore, down 60.9 per cent, as compared to ₹292.7 crore a year ago.
Its revenue for the quarter also declined 19 per cent to ₹1,140.5 crore as compared to ₹1,405.5 crore a year ago. However, sequentially, the revenue rose 8 per cent.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in October last year raised the entry barrier for derivatives trading by nearly tripling the minimum trading lot size and limiting weekly options contracts to one per exchange, making it more costly to trade in the asset class.
Angel One Q1 results analysis: Motilal Oswal
The Q1 results were in line with the brokerage's estimates. In 1QFY26, the industry witnessed a slight recovery after the regulatory impact on F&O, supported by a stable market environment and cash delivery brokerage, which contributed to Angel One's top line growth.
However, elevated employee expenses and increased IPL spends weighed on its bottom line. The new business of loan distribution gained strong traction during the quarter. Other new businesses, such as the distribution of fixed deposits, wealth management, and AMC, are likely to gain traction over the medium term. The brokerage will review the stock after its earnings call.
Meanwhile, Kranti Bathini, director-equity strategy, WealthMills securities Pvt ltd suggests "holding" Angel One stock at the current levels.
According to Bathini, broking stocks are expected to consolidate due to the Sebi norms on the derivative markets. Broking companies derive substantial revenues from the derivative markets, so Sebi's move can be an overhang for these stocks, including Angel One medium-to-short term.
Technically, Angel One is witnessing resistance near its falling trendline, while the 20 EMA is on the verge of a bearish crossover with the 50 EMA, signaling a cautious outlook. Moreover, declining volume indicates a lack of buying interest at higher levels, said Drumil Vithlani, technical research analyst, Bonanza.

Lenskart gets shareholder approval for $250 million IPO fundraise
Indian eyewear retailer Lenskart secured shareholder approval to raise $250 million through a fresh share issue, setting the stage for a public offering that could reach $1 billion, including existing investor sales, according to sources. It is aiming for an IPO valuation of about $10 billion. 'The company got approval for the $250 million IPO fundraise. The offer for sale (OFS) would be decided later,' said a person familiar with the matter. The company plans to file its prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) soon, joining a wave of technology startups—including trading platform Groww, e-commerce firm Meesho, and education company PhysicsWallah—that are preparing to go public in 2025. Lenskart's move comes as the $5 billion company—recently marked up to $6.1 billion by Fidelity—seeks to capitalize on robust growth in India's retail market. The Gurugram-based firm reported 43 per cent revenue growth to Rs 5,427.7 crore in FY24 from Rs 3,788 crore in FY23, while narrowing its losses by 84 per cent to Rs 10 crore in FY24 from Rs 63 crore in FY23. The IPO approval includes a pre-listing fundraising round of $51 million and a new employee stock plan covering 7.2 million shares. Lenskart operates more than 2,500 stores globally and is investing $200 million in a manufacturing facility in southern India. Lenskart continues to deepen its penetration in India while rapidly scaling its international presence, including in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. With a unique click-and-mortar business model, it is disrupting the eyewear industry by offering an omni-channel customer experience across online platforms, mobile applications, and stores. Globally and in India, Gurugram-based Lenskart competes with players such as Titan Eyeplus, Specsmakers, Vision Express, Warby Parker, and Italian eyewear conglomerate Luxottica Group.

Best ways to invest in gold that hit record highs in H1
Gold, which has never ceased to be the safe-haven asset so far, has gained 26% in the first half of 2025 becoming one of the top-performing major asset classes. The precious metal has scaled 26 new all-time highs during this period in global markets—including once crossing the sensitive Rs 1 lakh/10 grams mark in the domestic markets when the metal crossed $3,500/ounce-mark in the third week of April. This 26 new life-time highs came in after breaking through a 40-new-record streaks in 2024 when it had rallied 24% over a 22% rally in the previous year. What makes the metal so alluring to investors? There are many a reason, with the shining allure it has for women as a jewellery (our households are sitting over close to 26,000 tonnes of gold in jewellery alone) and its ready fungibility/encashability when in need of ready cash being the top reasons for its allurement. Let's look at some of the best ways to invest in this metal, even though investment experts recommend allocating only a small portion (5–10%) of your portfolio to precious metals. According to the World Gold Council, a combination of a weaker US dollar, range-bound interest rates and a highly uncertain geo-economic environment has resulted in strong investment demand for gold. Another equally important driver is the continuing central bank demands led by the Reserve Bank and the central bank of China among others. The council sees at least 5% more spike in prices during the course of the year and 10-15% more if current volatile economic conditions deteriorate further exacerbating stagflationary pressures—that's the metal reaching $3,840/ounce by end December and translating into an annual return of 40%. But many Wall Street watchers have predicted the metal hitting the $4,000/ounce mark by December. Experts recommend allocating only a small portion, say 5–10% of your investment portfolio to precious metals, including silver and the following are the best ways to take exposure to this metal. The easiest way is investing in sovereign gold bonds (SGBs) launched in 2015, but since last year the SGBs have been discontinued. Starting 2015, the RBI had launched 67 SGB tranches-- each being an eight-year instrument with a five-year lock-in--issuing 14.7 crore units. They were listed and traded in the cash segment of the BSE and the NSE and investors could buy and sell them through demat accounts. Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) Given that no new SGBs are being issued, the best option available to own non-physical gold is to go in for gold ETFs which track the domestic physical prices of the metal. Each gold ETF unit represents the physical gold and is based on gold prices and invest in physical bullion. One gold ETF unit equals 1 gram of gold, backed by high-purity physical metal. Why ETFs? Because they are safe and have higher liquidity as they are listed and are traded every day. Though, there are brokerage charges they are way less than the making charges on physical jewellery. The expense ratio in gold ETFs is also lower than that of gold MFs. On the negative side, since ETFs track the price of gold, they are subject to volatility. To invest in an ETF, one needs to have a demat account. There are entry and exit loads and the investor has to pay brokerage every time. Gold Mutual Funds Gold mutual funds are open-ended funds that invest in the units of a gold ETF with the ultimate goal of creating wealth using the potential of gold as a commodity. Gold MF units are priced differently-- in the form of net asset value disclosed at the end of the trading session—as opposed to gold ETFs which are linked to physical prices. Since gold MFs are actively managed, they have the potential to outperform the metal price over time. They also offer the convenience of investing through a fund house. On the negatives, gold MFs take a higher expense ratio than ETFs, typically around 1-2% apart from the risk of underperformance-- the return can be lower than gold price over time. In comparison to gold ETFs, gold MFs have low minimum investment requirements, making them more accessible for retail investors. Also, you don't need a demat account to invest in this form of gold.

Are corporates quietly leading India's climate transition? A researcher's perspective
Almost every day, we scroll past at least one news headline about climate change. Yet, how many of us truly grasp the magnitude of the risk it poses, not just to our environment, but to our economies, financial systems, and the corporate world? This is not just an environmental issue; it is a full-blown financial reckoning. And opinions about the depth and breadth of climate-related risks differ markedly across stakeholders, from heads of state and bureaucrats to fund managers and business RISK IS NOW A BUSINESS RISKTake, for instance, an eye-opening survey conducted in 2021 by Professors Johannes Stroebel and Jeffrey Wurgler of the NYU Stern School of 861 finance professionals, regulators, academics, and economists, they found that 73% of private sector professionals believed climate risks are undermined (underpriced) in financial markets, compared to 51% among academicians. The disparity in perception itself reveals a key challenge -- the market has yet to fully internalise climate risk. But how, one might ask, are climate and finance interlinked in the first place? What does 'climate risk' actually mean in financial terms?Is it merely the spectre of floods, droughts, and natural disasters? Or is there more to the story? The answer lies in the policy shifts playing out on the national is a committed signatory to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has made ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), including a pledge to source 50% of its electricity from non-fossil fuel sources by certainly. But for corporates, these noble climate pledges translate into hard compliance mandates, tighter disclosures, and operational restructuring, in essence, a new breed of operational the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework mandated by SEBI for the top 1000 listed companies in must now disclose granular details about their energy consumption, carbon emissions, and sustainability practices. Climate compliance is no longer a corporate social responsibility initiative; it is gradually becoming a strategic pressure doesn't emanate solely from regulators. A more environmentally conscious breed of investors, consumers, and civil society actors are demanding surge in sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) is proof that environmental stewardship now carries market consequences. The upshot of all this?Companies are increasingly exposed to 'transition risk', i.e., the financial and operational fallout from a rapid move toward greener norms, policies, and runs parallel to 'physical risk', the traditional category encompassing the direct impact of climate-related disasters like cyclones, droughts, and extreme these twin risks are reshaping the contours of corporate decision-making in India. To empirically assess this behavioral shift, we conducted a comprehensive study of 1174 listed non-financial firms in India spanning 2005 to aim was simple yet urgent: Are Indian companies adapting to climate risk? If so, how? Our findings, recently published in Energy Economics, offer compelling energy consumption, which accounts for nearly 41% of total national energy usage (MoSPI 2021), is already being recalibrated in response to climate observed that firms facing higher climate vulnerability are significantly reducing their energy consumption. This isn't coincidental but a clear response to regulatory, reputational, and financial this response is asymmetric. Energyintensive firms are leading the charge, likely because they have more to lose from non-affiliated firms (those not part of large business groups) and those with robust corporate governance mechanisms show stronger climate quality plays a crucial role in steering firms toward long-term sustainability strategies, while business group affiliation may cushion the perceived impact of climate threats, thereby dulling the urgency to shift became more pronounced after the 2016 Paris Agreement, marking a tipping point in how Indian firms interpret and respond to climate policy course, reducing energy consumption is not without trade-offs. Firms face a strategic dilemma: inaction invites regulatory penalties and investor backlash, while aggressive energy cuts can impair productivity, output, and EFFICIENCY EMEREGES AS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS RESPONSEOur research reveals that firms are not merely cutting back; they are pursuing a strategic middle path, i.e., improving energy investing in technology upgrades and process optimisation, they are learning to generate more output with the same or lower energy not only mitigates emissions but also improves cost efficiency and long-term resilience. Notably, markets appear to be taking that demonstrate better energy efficiency attract higher valuations, suggesting that capital markets are beginning to reward green behaviour, an encouraging signal for the future of ESG investing in finds itself at a crossroads. As per the ND-GAIN index, it ranks 115th out of 187 countries in climate vulnerability. At the same time, it is poised to become the thirdlargest global over 76% of its energy needs in 2021 were met by coal and crude oil. This dichotomy, between environmental fragility and developmental urgency makes the role of Indian businesses absolutely state alone cannot carry the climate burden. The baton must also be passed to industry, not just to react, but to lead. Our research shows that this leadership is already emerging quietly and unevenly, but undeniably. While global climate diplomacy continues to be marred by political deadlock and insufficient commitments, as evidenced by India's rejection of the $300 million annual climate grant at COP29, terming it 'too little, too late', the real action may be unfolding catalyse this movement, government and regulatory support must keep disclosures, streamlined access to green finance, and predictable policy frameworks are critical to support companies that are willing to walk the talk.(THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN CO-AUTHORED BY SHASHANK PRAKASH SRIVASTAV, DOCTORAL SCHOLAR, AND PROFESSOR M.
