Jio Financial Shares in Focus On Strong Q4 Performance, Dividend Announcement

Jio Financial Services, a part of the Reliance Industries Group, has been generating significant buzz following the release of its Q4 FY25 results and its first-ever dividend declaration. As the stock rose by 1.5% in early morning trade on April 21, 2025.

Jio Financial’s Q4 FY25 Performance

For the quarter ending March 31, 2025, Jio Financial reported a net profit of ₹316 crore, marking a modest 1.76% year-on-year (YoY) growth from ₹310.63 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. This reflects a positive trajectory despite the challenges the financial services sector has faced.

However, the company did experience a 4.5% decline in its net interest income (NII), which dropped to ₹268.09 crore compared to ₹280.74 crore in Q4 FY24.

Despite this, the overall revenue from operations rose by 18% YoY to ₹493.24 crore. Jio Financial’s pre-provision operating profit also saw an impressive 18% YoY increase, standing at ₹374 crore.

Impressive Growth in Assets Under Management

One of the most notable highlights from Jio Financial’s quarterly report was its remarkable growth in assets under management (AUM). As of March 31, 2025, the company’s AUM had surged to ₹10,053 crore, up from just ₹173 crore at the same time in 2024.

Jio Financial’s strategic initiatives, such as the ₹1,346 crore equity infusion into group companies during FY25, have provided the necessary capital to fuel its expansion and support future growth plans.

These measures have allowed Jio Financial to establish a stronger foothold in the competitive financial services market.

First-Ever Dividend Announcement

In addition to its solid financial performance, Jio Financial also made a major announcement that is sure to please investors – its first-ever dividend declaration. The company’s board of directors recommended a dividend of ₹0.50 per equity share, with a face value of ₹10 per share.

This marks a significant milestone for the company, signalling its financial stability and commitment to sharing profits with shareholders.

Share Price Performance

Jio Financial Services share price traded at ₹247.10, showing a modest increase of ₹0.63 or 0.26% at 10:15 AM on the NSE, from its previous close of ₹246.47. The stock opened at ₹250 and reached a high of ₹250 during the day, while the low was ₹244.50.
