The asset manager posted strong top-line growth, but profit expansion was more subdued, leading to a contraction in net profit margin.
SBI Funds Management reported a 15.2% year-on-year revenue increase for Q1 FY27. However, profit growth of 3.7% lagged significantly behind, indicating margin pressure.
SBI Funds Management delivered a quarter of mixed signals. While revenue surged by a healthy 15.2%, profit growth was far more modest at 3.7%, highlighting a squeeze on profitability. This performance sets the tone for the asset manager's new fiscal year, with top-line momentum tempered by cost pressures.
The latest quarterly figures show revenue rising to ₹1,152.73 crore from ₹1,000.94 crore a year ago. Profit after tax (PAT) increased to ₹880.25 crore from ₹848.84 crore over the same period. The divergence between revenue and profit growth resulted in a net profit margin of 76.4% for Q1 FY27, down from the 84.8% implied by the prior-year figures.
