Power Finance Corporation (PFC), a government-owned financial institution, has reported a consolidated net profit of ₹8,358 crore for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024–25 (Q4FY25). This marks a 10.6% increase compared to the ₹7,556.4 crore profit recorded in the same quarter last year. The growth in profit reflects strong performance and healthy demand in the power financing sector.
The company’s net interest income (NII), which represents the difference between interest earned and interest paid, rose significantly in the fourth quarter. It increased by 41% to ₹12,681 crore, compared to ₹8,987.7 crore in Q4FY24. This sharp rise indicates improved lending margins and a strong loan book during the quarter.
PFC’s board of directors has proposed a final dividend of ₹2.05 per equity share for the financial year 2024–25. This dividend will be paid on equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each and is subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
This final dividend comes in addition to the ₹13.75 per share in interim dividends that the company has already paid during the financial year in 4 tranches. The board has fixed Friday, June 13, 2025 as the record date to determine shareholders eligible to receive the final dividend. The company stated that the dividend will be paid within 30 days of approval at the AGM, as per statutory requirements.
In terms of share performance, PFC share price has declined by around 5% over the past 1 month. Over the last 3 months, however, it has gained more than 6%. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis in 2025, the stock has fallen by about 7.5%, while over the past 1 year, it has declined 11.5%.
Despite the recent weakness, PFC has delivered strong long-term returns. Over the last 2 years, the stock has gained a massive 213%, and in the past 5 years, it has surged 556%, making it a multibagger for long-term investors.
As of 1:27 PM on Wednesday, PFC share price was trading 3.05% higher at ₹419 per share on the BSE, following the announcement of quarterly results and final dividend.
