Nippon Life Ind. Q2 FY27 Results (NSE: NAM-INDIA)
Signal: Growth decelerated
The read
Operating momentum strengthened: consolidated revenue rose 20.9% YoY to ₹795.75 Cr and calculated operating margin expanded about 210bps to 66.0%, but reported PAT fell 5.9% to ₹324.37 Cr because the ₹96.76 Cr SEBI settlement and a 36.8% decline in other income overwhelmed the operating gain; this interrupts the recent margin-expansion trajectory without indicating core operating deterioration.

|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹795.75 Cr | +20.9% | +3.8% |
| Net profit | ₹324.37 Cr | -5.9% | |
| EPS | ₹5.07 | -6.5% |
P&L walk
