5Paisa Capital Hits 52-Week High On Reporting First Ever Quarterly Profit

On Tuesday, shares of 5Paisa Capital were stuck in 5 percent upper circuit at Rs 324.60 after the company reported a net profit of Rs 3.74 crore for the June-ended quarter when compared to Rs 55 lakh loss in the same period a year ago.

For the first time since its launch in March 2016, 5Paisa reported a quarterly profit. The discount broking company's total consolidated income was up by 85 percent to Rs 42.44 crore in the June-ended quarter, backed by improved trading activity and carefully curtailed expense growth.

The management said that in the April-June 2020 period it made its highest quarterly acquisition of over 1.6 lakh customers. Several news reports suggest that amid the pandemic and consequent work-from-home, millennials have taken interest in the capital markets in India as well as the US. The management is optimistic that the company is entering a new era of investing and incredible growth in coming quarters.
