Motilal Oswal’s Q4 Results Reflect Challenging Market Conditions

Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (MOFSL) reported a consolidated net loss of ₹63.19 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, marking a sharp reversal from a net profit of ₹724.60 crore in the same period last year. The company’s total revenue from operations dropped 45% year-on-year to ₹1,190.26 crore, down from ₹2,153.84 crore in Q4 FY24. This steep decline was primarily attributed to a significant swing in fair value changes, with MOFSL recording a net loss of ₹42.89 crore in this category, compared to a gain of ₹423.58 crore a year ago.

 

Fee and commission income, the firm’s largest revenue segment, also slipped to ₹1,023.36 crore from ₹1,149.64 crore year-on-year. Elevated expenses, particularly employee benefits and finance costs, further pressured the bottom line. Following the results, Motilal Oswal shares plunged nearly 10% in intraday trading, reflecting investor concerns over the disappointing quarter.

 

Despite this setback, MOFSL ended FY25 with a net profit of ₹2,508 crore, supported by robust performance in earlier quarters. The management remains focused on stabilizing core operations and navigating market volatility in the coming months.
