Cofacto Research Published November 06, 2026 5 min read
Positive

Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd's Q2 FY27 numbers came in strong, with revenue of Rs. 1,367.56 Cr (+20.18% YoY) and PAT growth of +19.49% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.

Quick Details
Results dateNovember 06, 2026
Revenue (Q2)Rs. 1,367.56 Cr (+20.18% YoY)
PAT (Q2)Rs. 303.48 Cr (+19.49% YoY)
EPS (Q2)Rs. 16.54 (+17.22% YoY)

Quarter Snapshot

Nuvama delivered 20.18% total income growth and 25.79% Operating PAT growth, with record wealth flows (MPIS NNM Rs.3,289 Cr, ARR NNM Rs.4,986 Cr) and a 34.54% YoY Capital Markets revenue recovery, landing within management's 20-25% revenue guidance. Asset Management is the stretch: its H1 loss of Rs.41.82 Cr has already crossed the guided FY27 band of Rs.35-40 Cr even before the Numa SIF pipeline generates fees. The Supreme Court's favourable ruling in the Anugrah/Vrise litigation removes a legacy overhang, while negative H1 CFO reflects deliberate loan-book deployment rather than earnings-quality issues.
