Motilal Oswal Posts Record Profit, Asset Management Surges

Motilal Oswal Financial Services reported a strong start to the fiscal year, with consolidated quarterly profit rising and total income climbing to about ₹3,432 crore. Marketed figures show a consolidated net profit of ₹1,273 crore for Q1 FY27, marking a turnaround from the prior quarter and underscoring a broad-based earnings uplift across asset management, private wealth, and capital markets. The firm’s revenue growth was driven by higher income from its wealth management, asset management, and housing finance segments, with assets under management expanding and fee-based revenues strengthening. Ratings agencies also signaled confidence, with CRISIL upgrading the long-term rating and ICRA reaffirming several ratings, reflecting improved balance-sheet strength and risk management. Several reports note robust trading volumes and stronger advisory and asset-management contributions as key drivers of profitability and resilience in a volatile market. One source cites a record quarterly profit including OCI, highlighting a strategic tilt toward recurring revenue streams as a core driver of the firm’s improved financial performance.
