5PAISA: First conference call after a capital rebuild, tech acquisition, and leadership shuffle — Q2FY27 numbers in
On 23 October 2026, 5paisa Capital (NSE: 5PAISA, BSE: 540776) held its first earnings conference call in this platform’s tracked history, reporting consolidated revenue of ₹86.5 Cr and net profit of ₹7.1 Cr for Q2 FY27 (concall transcript filing, BSE, 23 Oct 2026). The call is the most recent filing in a six‑month chain that shows the broker raising fresh equity, buying a data‑analytics firm, and replacing several senior officials — all against a backdrop of declining industry volumes.
A capital injection that pushed EPS sharply lower
The rights issue that reshaped the balance sheet surfaced in the Q1 FY27 filings. The results published on 16 July 2026 showed consolidated income of ₹88.33 Cr, up 14% year‑on‑year, and profit after tax of ₹11.57 Cr, roughly flat. But earnings per share collapsed 30% YoY to ₹2.60 because the ₹469 Cr raised via the rights issue had substantially increased the outstanding share count (BSE, 16 Jul and 17 Jul 2026). The same filings reported that both client acquisition and average daily turnover had fallen sequentially.
By the time Q2 FY27 numbers arrived on 15 October 2026, the H1 picture was:
- Consolidated total income: ₹174.84 Cr (+12.8% YoY)
- Profit after tax: ₹18.63 Cr (−11.1% YoY)
- Earnings per share: ₹4.08 (−39.2% YoY) (BSE, 15 Oct 2026).
The investor presentation released the same day added that fresh client additions stood at 0.82 lakh (total 53.4 lakh), average daily turnover was ₹2.59 Tn, and the MTF book had grown to ₹4,811 Mn.
An acquisition in data analytics
On 28 July 2026, the board approved the acquisition of 100% of Giskard Datatech Private Limited — a data‑analytics and technology‑solutions firm. The composite deal involved:
- Cash consideration not exceeding ₹121.57 Cr for a 58.68% stake
- A share swap of 20,50,588 equity shares of 5paisa at a 1:31 ratio for the remaining 37.65% (BSE, 28 Jul 2026).
The preferential issue for the swap was later filed with pre‑ and post‑issue shareholding patterns on 9 October 2026, showing a 1.97% reduction in promoter holding on a fully diluted basis (BSE, 9 Oct 2026). The filings state that the transaction requires shareholder and regulatory approvals and is “expected to close within six months” of the July board meeting.
Leadership changes across compliance, product, and technology
Several senior departures were disclosed during this period:
- 16 June 2026: Chief Compliance Officer Mr. Sudhendoo Ganddhi resigned, “citing pursuit of career opportunities outside the organization” (BSE, 17 Jun 2026).
- 16 July 2026: Mr. Mehul Somaiya was appointed Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, filling the vacancy created in June (BSE, 16 Jul 2026).
- 18 September 2026: Mr. Abhinav Agarwal, Head – Investing Product, resigned “to pursue better career opportunities outside the organization” (BSE, 18 Sep 2026).
- 30 September 2026: Mr. Ameya Agnihotri stepped down from his dual role as Whole‑Time Director and Chief Technology Officer, also “to pursue external career opportunities” (BSE, 30 Sep 2026).
Credit lines and rating actions
On 26 August 2026, CRISIL reaffirmed the existing ratings — Crisil A+/Stable on the long‑term bank loan and NCD, and Crisil A1+ on the short‑term facility. It also assigned a Crisil A+/Stable rating to a fresh ₹50 Cr NCD and enhanced the commercial paper limit from ₹200 Cr to ₹400 Cr with a Crisil A1+ rating (BSE, 26 Aug 2026).
What the concall disclosed about the next phase
The 23 October 2026 concall summary (filed with BSE) noted a net worth of ₹1,136 Cr, built through the rights issue, and described the forward agenda as “scaling client funding and app‑led tech upgrades.” The presentation accompanying the quarter flagged a new trading app, a collaboration with OpenAI, and the forthcoming integration of Giskard Datatech. Q2 FY27 revenue of ₹86.5 Cr was 12% above the year‑earlier quarter, but profit after tax fell 26% to ₹7.1 Cr, which the company attributed to “broader market volume softness post‑derivatives changes” (concall filing, 23 Oct 2026). Apart from the six‑month expected closure window for the Giskard acquisition, no numeric target periods were disclosed.
