Central Depository Services (India) Ltd earned ₹173 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +23.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹455 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 17.5% a year on average. That is 43.9% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹140 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹455 Cr (−13.5% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +23.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +5.4% and revenue +15.8%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd reported ₹394 Cr of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +23.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 25.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,145 Cr.

For a bank, revenue is everything it earns: interest on its loans plus fees and other income.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,254 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹1,145 Cr, +5.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.8% on average, against 25.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +16.1%, against +10.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +6.8%, against −2.7% a year (accelerating).

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd's net margin was 43.9% in the Sep 2026 quarter, about the same as the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 39.7% and 74.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Net margin is what the bank keeps from every ₹100 of revenue after every cost, provision for bad loans and tax. It is the clearest single margin we can read for a lender.

In the latest quarter it moved +0.0 percentage points on the same quarter a year ago.

Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason.

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report.

Gross NPA is the share of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what is left after the money the lender has already set aside for those loans. Falling is good; rising is a warning.

Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up.

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd's revenue was ₹1,145 Cr in FY26, +5.8% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +23.5% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 43.9%, +0.0 percentage points on a year ago.

We read the loan book through revenue: when the book grows, revenue grows with it. It is only a rough guide, because interest-rate changes and fee swings can move it a few points in any year.

Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year.

In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Gross NPA is the loan-quality figure this page uses.

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd's P/BV is 13.9×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 55% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 12.6×, over 9.1 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

For a bank or lender we compare the price with book value, the net worth on its balance sheet. P/BV is how many rupees the market pays for each ₹1 of that net worth. Below 1× means the market values it at less than its net worth.
