✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Angel One delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with PAT of ₹2.7 billion, up 26.9% QoQ, driven by revenue diversification and cost discipline. Gross income rose 11.1% QoQ to ₹13.4 billion, with broking share declining to 58.1% as interest and distribution income grew. The standalone broking EBITDA margin expanded to 43%, reflecting operating leverage. Key operational highlights include average daily orders recovering to 6.2 million (from 4.9M low), commodity orders up 53% YoY, and credit disbursements reaching ₹7.1 billion (56% QoQ growth). Wealth AUM crossed ₹82 billion, up 34% QoQ. Management guided for 40-45% standalone operating margins and expects further operating leverage. Risk: elevated finance costs from regulatory upstreaming of client margins may persist near-term.
