MCX Q1 Results Profit Jumps 83% YoY, Board Approves 1:5 Stock Split

kicked off FY26 with stellar performance, posting a consolidated net profit of ₹203 crore in Q1—an 83% jump YoY. Revenue rose 60% to ₹373 crore, mainly driven by a sharp surge in the bullion segment. EBITDA also grew 82% to ₹241.6 crore, with margins expanding to 64.7%. The bullion segment saw its share in Average Daily Turnover (ADT) rise from 23% to 44%, thanks to new variants like Gold Mini and Gold Ten Futures. Monthly Gold Options and the newly launched Silver (30kg) and Silver Mini (5kg) contracts also gained traction. Total ADT of futures and options jumped 80% YoY to ₹3.1 lakh crore. Globally, MCX climbed to the 6th spot among commodity exchanges as per FIA data—up from 7th last year. MD & CEO Praveena Rai highlighted strong participation from institutional and MSME clients, noting product innovation, regulatory collaboration, and expanding market linkages as key drivers. New contracts like electricity futures and expanded offerings in bullion and agri segments further strengthened its risk management toolkit. In a major development, MCX's board also approved its first-ever stock split—subdividing one equity share of ₹10 into five shares of ₹2 each. The move aims to improve liquidity and attract retail investors. The record date will be announced post shareholder approval. With strong earnings, growing participation, and strategic innovation, MCX continues to cement its leadership in India’s commodity derivatives space.
