Iran-US war to pressure Q4 profits of Nifty 50 firms: analysts

Net profit growth for Nifty 50 companies in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to slow on a year-on-year basis due to price effects from the Iran-US war, brokerages said. Estimates range from 0.6% to 6%.

Net profit for Nifty 50 companies, representative of Indian corporates, is projected to grow between 0.6% and 6% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, brokerages reported. The slowdown stems from price effects of the Iran-US war.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services estimated a 6% year-on-year increase. Kotak Institutional Equities offered a more conservative forecast of 2.6% growth.

These projections account for India's crude oil import reliance amid the West Asia conflict. Analysts note the war's impact on corporate earnings, with official figures pending.
