Jio Platforms shares rally 3% after first Q2 results since listing; what investors need to know

Jio Platforms, which made a historic market debut last week, breaking several records in the Indian primary market, continued to remain in focus on Monday, November 2.

The mega IPO defied the trend of lukewarm investor response often associated with large offerings and a muted listing, as its shares remained in the spotlight following the company's first quarterly results since listing, announced on Friday, October 30.

The stock on Monday rallied as much as 3% to hit a high of ₹1,475 on the NSE against the previous close of ₹1,431.30.

Jio Platforms: Key Q2 FY27 numbers

Jio Platforms on Friday reported a 13.7% rise in consolidated net profit to ₹8,389 crore for the September 2026 quarter, driven by subscriber gains, higher realisations per user and healthy growth in digital services.

The digital and telecom company's consolidated revenue from operations rose 11.4% to ₹40,475 crore during the quarter under review, according to a regulatory filing.

The September-quarter scorecard is the company's first since its stellar listing earlier this week, and the earnings briefing also marks the first time Managing Director Akash Ambani addressed investors on a quarterly results call.

Commenting on the results, he said the reported quarter's results continue to reflect the strength of the company's 5G network, and the growing reach of broadband and digital services.

"We would continue to build our capabilities across satellite communications, 6G intellectual property and AI embedded in our core voice and data services as we create lasting value for all our stakeholders," Ambani said.

"Multiple growth engines across mobility, home, enterprise, and international that we see. And again, we are the ones that are proving this at scale. We are the ones that have a clear path of growth and profitability improving with a very, very strong balance sheet, even before the IPO proceeds come to us," Ambani said.

Net profit attributable to owners of the company stood at ₹8,389 crore for the just-ended quarter against ₹7,379 crore in the year-ago period.
