The full read
NIIT's June-quarter numbers look good on their own: revenue up 14%, PAT up 85% to ₹81 million, and AI-led revenue hitting 9% of the total. But the market had already seen these figures earlier in the day (the press release was supplementary). What makes the quarter stand out is the reversal from the ₹3 crore loss in March 2026 and the launch of six new GenAI programs that give the enterprise business a fresh narrative. Promoters clearly saw this coming: they spent ₹365 crore buying stock in June, one of the largest insider purchases relative to market cap in recent memory. The results justify that conviction in the near term. But with a trailing P/E of 259x, the stock trades on hope of sustained acceleration, not just a one-quarter pop.
Questions answered
- What drove the 85% PAT jump?
- Higher revenue and likely operating leverage. PAT rose to ₹81 mn from ₹44 mn, while revenue grew 14%.
- How much did AI contribute?
- AI-led revenue was 9% of total ₹957 mn, about ₹86 mn. The company launched six new GenAI programs.
- Was this result expected?
- The core financials were filed earlier in the day, so the press release added no new numbers. The market had already absorbed the data.
- How does this compare to the March quarter?
- In March 2026, NIIT reported a net loss of ₹3 cr on sales of ₹100 cr. The June quarter shows a sharp reversal to ₹8.1 cr profit.
- What is the outlook?
