Quess Corp Q4FY25 Earnings Results: Share Price Slumps 10% 

On May 20, 2025, Quess Corp share price dropped close to 10%, despite the company reporting strong Q4FY25 results. This marked its first earnings release post-demerger, as it began operating as a standalone workforce management company.

Solid Q4 FY25 Performance, Profit Rises 49%

Quess Corp reported a 49% year-on-year rise in adjusted profit after tax (PAT) for Q4FY25, reaching ₹63 crore, up from ₹42 crore in the previous year. The robust growth was driven by consistent revenue gains and effective cost-cutting measures across multiple business areas.

Revenue and Margins Improve

Quess Corp Ltd’s consolidated revenue rose 3% YoY to ₹3,656 crore in Q4. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) grew 13% to ₹67 crore, while the EBITDA margin slightly improved to 1.8% from 1.7% last year.

Segment Highlights

Quess saw strong performance in professional staffing and international operations:

• Professional Staffing: Continued to grow with new clients, especially in global capability centres (GCCs), and higher-value hiring.
• Overseas Business: Achieved its best-ever quarterly numbers in the Middle East. However, performance in Singapore remained weak.

FY25 Full-Year Results and Dividend

Quess Corp posted full-year (FY25) revenue of ₹14,967 crore, marking a 9% increase year-on-year. EBITDA grew by 12% to ₹262 crore, while adjusted PAT surged 54% to ₹210 crore. Following this performance, the board declared a final dividend of ₹6 per share and rolled out a new policy to distribute up to 75% of free cash flow to shareholders.

Executive Director and Group CEO, Guruprasad Srinivasan, said the company is on a steady growth path, with professional staffing leading the way. He also acknowledged challenges in general staffing due to NBFC-related issues, but noted that the business is now reset for growth in FY26. The recent demerger has helped Quess sharpen its focus and improve cost efficiency. The company aims to deliver a return on equity (ROE) of 20%.

Stock Movement and Market Reaction

As of May 20, 2025, Quess Corp’s share price is trading at ₹338.15, down 9.40% for the day. The stock opened at ₹360.00 and hit a low of ₹330.40 during the session. 

With a market capitalisation of ₹5,010 crore, the company has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.72 and offers a dividend yield of 2.96%. Its 52-week high and low stand at ₹448.00 and ₹266.78, respectively. The company has declared a quarterly dividend of ₹2.50 per share.

Conclusion

Quess Corp’s strong Q4 and FY25 performance highlights its growth potential as a standalone entity post-demerger. With a sharper focus, improving margins, and robust performance in professional staffing and overseas markets, the company appears well-positioned for FY26. However, market volatility and investor sentiment may continue to influence short-term stock movements.
