Dhan parent Raise Securities' FY26 net profit falls 20% to Rs 326 crore

18 Jun 2026, 01:06 PM

Its net operating revenue rose 14% year-on-year to Rs 904.9 crore.

Raise Securities, the stockbroking firm behind trading platform Dhan, reported a 20% decline in net profit to Rs 325.8 crore in FY26, even as its net operating revenue rose 14% year-on-year to Rs 904.9 crore.

The company's profit fell from Rs 408.1 crore in FY25, while its net worth increased 55% to Rs 916.1 crore, according to an ICRA ratings report.

ICRA said Raise Securities continued to post healthy profitability despite regulatory curbs on index derivatives trading and softer market conditions. However, higher operating expenses, including increased spending on marketing, team expansion and certain one-off costs, weighed on profitability during the year.

Founded in 2021 by former Paytm Money chief executive Pravin Jadhav along with Jay Prakash Gupta and Alok Pandey, Raise Securities operates stockbroking platform Dhan and options trading app Option Trader.

As of March 2026, the company was India's ninth-largest broker by active clients with a market share of 2.3%, according to ICRA.

The ratings agency assigned Raise Securities an A+ long-term rating with a stable outlook and reaffirmed its A1+ commercial paper rating.
