year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.

Philips Oneblade appoints Ahaan Panday as brand ambassador
Gen Z star fronts ‘Built Different’ campaign celebrating individuality and flexible grooming with the versatile OneBlade device.
MUMBAI: Philips OneBlade has just found its sharpest new edge and it’s called Ahaan Panday. The grooming brand has named the Gen Z sensation its brand ambassador for a fresh campaign titled “Built Different, just like my Philips Oneblade”. The move puts Ahaan’s confident, rule-rewriting vibe front and centre, speaking directly to a generation that grooms on its own terms rather than following old scripts.
The campaign flips the usual narrative around Gen Z. Often labelled distracted or rebellious, they are instead reshaping traditions their way. Through Ahaan’s voice, the films swap “cuts and drama” for a smarter life hack: one versatile tool that trims, edges and shaves without the fuss of multiple gadgets. Philips OneBlade’s unique technology delivers a clean, comfortable look while keeping skin irritation at bay perfect for fast, dynamic, ever-evolving lifestyles.
Philips country head for Personal Health Smit Shukla said, “Gen Z has rewritten the rules of grooming on their own terms, and OneBlade was built to match that energy. Ahaan is one of the most genuine and influential young voices in India right now, and bringing him on board reflects our confidence in OneBlade’s trajectory.”
Ahaan Panday added, “For my generation, grooming is more about expressing who you are. Oneblade keeps up with the way we live fast, dynamic, and always evolving. ‘Built Different’ is more than a campaign; it’s a mindset that celebrates individuality and the confidence to do things your own way.”
The Philips OneBlade is available on Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, TIRA and at select Croma, Vijay Sales and Reliance Digital stores across India.
In a market full of rigid routines, Philips Oneblade and Ahaan are proving that the coolest grooming move is the one that actually fits how you live. For Gen Z, it’s not about following the crowd, it’s about carving your own path, one clean edge at a time.
