IRFC Gains On Earnings Beat: SEBI RA Spots Technical Strength, Recommends Buy

Backed by a strong balance sheet and technical support zone, IRFC is flashing early signs of recovery.

Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) shares gained nearly 3% on Wednesday, driven by strong performance in its June quarter earnings (Q1 FY26).

The government-owned railway financial company reported a year-on-year (YoY) net profit increase of 10.7% at ₹1,746 crore, while revenues grew by 2.2% to ₹6,915 crore. Its finance costs decreased by 0.6% YoY to ₹5,124 crore.

IRFC further improved its debt-to-equity ratio to 7.44, signaling a stronger balance sheet. The company also maintained a zero non-performing assets (NPA) ratio, reflecting its stable financial position.

Additionally, its net worth rose to ₹54,423.96 crore, and its book value per share climbed to ₹41.65, indicating robust capital strength.

Technical Trends

SEBI-registered analyst Prabhat Mittal noted that IRFC stock has corrected almost 50% from July 2024 to March 2025. Since then, the stock has consistently formed higher tops and bottoms, which is a positive sign for the stock. 

Mittal added that in the last one year, IRFC has resisted multiple times at its 100-day moving average (DMA). Currently, it is taking support at this level after having breached it.
