NIIT Limited shares fell over 4% on May 14 after the company reported a weak Q4 FY26 performance, with the company slipping into a consolidated net loss attributable to owners despite year-on-year revenue growth.
The stock was trading at Rs 64.71, down Rs 3.12 or 4.58% as of 1:16 PM. The stock has also remained under pressure on the one-month chart, reflecting weak sentiment around the counter.
The decline came after NIIT reported a consolidated net loss attributable to owners of the company of Rs 4.4 crore for Q4 FY26, compared with a profit of Rs 13.1 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
Revenue for the quarter stood at Rs 390 crore, rising 9.1% year-on-year. However, the improvement in revenue was not enough to support profitability as the company’s expenses continued to remain elevated.
At the operating level, NIIT reported an EBITDA loss of Rs 1.4 crore in Q4 FY26, compared with an EBITDA loss of Rs 1.5 crore in the year-ago quarter. This indicated that operating profitability remained weak even though revenue improved.
For the full year, NIIT’s PAT stood at Rs 5.28 crore, compared with Rs 46.13 crore in the previous financial year, marking a sharp decline of 88.6%.
The company’s cost structure remained a key pressure point. Employee costs increased around 14%, while professional and technical outsourcing expenses rose around 19%. The rise in costs outpaced revenue growth, keeping margins under pressure.
Overall, NIIT shares moved lower as investors reacted to the company’s Q4 net loss, weak operating profitability and sharp full-year profit decline. While revenue grew during the quarter, the higher cost base weighed on earnings and kept sentiment negative.
