Go Digit General Insurance Ltd reported Q2 FY27 numbers with revenue of Rs. 2,720.49 Cr (+1.71% YoY) and PAT growth of -31.14% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.
| Results date | November 05, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Revenue (Q2) | Rs. 2,720.49 Cr (+1.71% YoY) |
| PAT (Q2) | Rs. 142.39 Cr (-31.14% YoY) |
| EPS (Q2) | Rs. 1.54 (-31.25% YoY) |
Q2 FY27 showed broad deterioration: underwriting profit fell 73.4% YoY to Rs.43.04 Cr as the combined ratio worsened to 95.9% from 79.7% YoY, and PAT declined 31.1% YoY to Rs.142.39 Cr. GWP fell 3.60% YoY against ~8% industry growth, indicating share loss, while management's guided motor OD stabilization did not materialize (segment loss widened to Rs.(157.55) Cr). Investment income (+20.6% YoY) and 1.56x CFO/PAT coverage were the main offsets, but the motor loss-ratio guidance and EOM forbearance remain open risks into H2.
