Bigger firms don’t seem to have done as well as the rest of the companies this earnings season, going by the numbers that are out so far, reports Kishor Kadam. For larger firms (56 of the top 100 Nifty pack), sales have grown at a slower pace as have operating profits.
The disparity is widest when it comes to net profits: 56 companies reported a rise of 15.7% year–on-year in Q2FY26, compared with a rise of 20.4% for a bigger basket of 653 companies. Makers of mass consumption items and IT firms have posted sedate numbers; producers of metals, durables and OMCs have reported good results.
