Max Financial Share Price in Focus as Q2 FY26 Net Profit Slumps 96% YoY

Max Financial Services Ltd posted a steep 96% drop in consolidated net profit to ₹4.1 crore for the quarter ended September 2025, compared with ₹113 crore in the same period last year.

The decline was primarily attributed to subdued results from Axis Max Life, its life insurance subsidiary, which saw lower income and profitability.
