The company's score has notably decreased over the past three months, indicating a shift in its financial standing. On the positive side, IRFC reported its highest profit before tax (PBT) and profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter, both at Rs 1,776.96 crore and Rs 1,776.98 crore, respectively. Additionally, the debt-equity ratio stands at a low of 7.44 times, showcasing a strong capital structure. The earnings per share (EPS) also reached a peak of Rs 1.36, highlighting effective profitability on a per-share basis.
