Quality and Financial Trends
Piramal Finance Ltd is classified as an average quality company based on long-term financial performance, with a current Mojo Score of 51.0 and a Mojo Grade of Hold, downgraded from Buy on 2 February 2026. The company’s capital structure is rated excellent, though it carries a relatively high average net debt-to-equity ratio of 2.84, indicating significant leverage.

Recent quarterly financials highlight positive trends, with net sales reaching ₹3,368.27 crores, up 27.62%, and the highest recorded PBDIT of ₹2,072.74 crores. Profit before tax excluding other income stood at ₹381.72 crores, and profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was ₹460.98 crores, both at record levels. Conversely, the nine-month PAT declined by 89.16% to ₹45.26 crores, and operating cash flow for the year was negative at ₹-15,799.25 crores, indicating some areas of financial strain.

Summary of the Milestone Achievement
