Market watchers anticipate a modest increase in profit, while the company&#8217;s shares have already surged more than 4% since the stock market debut.<\/p>\n<h2>Listing debut and share price movement<\/h2>\n<p>The company made its first appearance on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange on Wednesday, pricing its shares at a premium of over 21% following a record\u2011breaking subscription to its initial public offering. The listing elevated Jio Platforms to the position of India\u2019s second\u2011largest firm by market capitalisation, trailing only Reliance Industries.<\/p>\n<p>In early trade on Thursday, the stock extended its gains, climbing roughly 4.7% to Rs\u202f1,484, an increase of Rs\u202f66.50 per share. At one point during the session, the price touched Rs\u202f1,478.90 before settling higher.<\/p>\n<h2>Projected Q2 financial performance<\/h2>\n<p>ET Now\u2019s estimates suggest that revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 will rise 2.6% quarter\u2011on\u2011quarter, reaching Rs\u202f35,100\u202fcrore compared with Rs\u202f34,200\u202fcrore recorded in the preceding quarter. The forecast for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) points to a 2.7% increase, moving to Rs\u202f19,200\u202fcrore from Rs\u202f18,700\u202fcrore, while the EBITDA margin is expected to stay steady at 54.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Profit after tax (PAT) is projected at Rs\u202f7,400\u202fcrore, marking a 3.2% rise from the Rs\u202f7,170\u202fcrore posted in Q1 FY27. Analysts attribute the anticipated revenue growth to a combination of net subscriber additions, higher average revenue per user (ARPU), expansion of home broadband services, and the inclusion of an additional calendar day in the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>ARPU is forecast to climb 1.1% quarter\u2011on\u2011quarter to Rs\u202f218, up from Rs\u202f215.6 in the prior quarter. Historical ARPU figures show a gradual rise over recent quarters: Rs\u202f214 in Q4 FY26, Rs\u202f213.7 in Q3 FY26, Rs\u202f211.4 in Q2 FY26 and Rs\u202f208.8 in Q1 FY26.<\/p>\n<p>Net subscriber additions are estimated between 8\u202fmillion and 10\u202fmillion for the quarter, with wireless additions accounting for roughly 7.3\u202fmillion of that total.<\/p>\n<h2>Dividend outlook and growth expectations<\/h2>\n<p>The possibility of a dividend announcement remains uncertain. Jio Platforms\u2019 Red Herring Prospectus notes that the company has not paid any dividend in the past three years and provides no guarantee of future payouts. The prospectus further states that any decision on dividend\u2014whether interim or final\u2014will be at the board\u2019s discretion and will depend on a range of internal and external factors.<\/p>\n<p>Brokerage houses anticipate that the next phase of growth will be fueled by telecom tariff hikes, continued ARPU improvement, subscriber gains, broadband rollout and increasing adoption of artificial intelligence, cloud and other digital services. Motilal Oswal projects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% for revenue between FY26 and FY29, alongside improving profitability and stronger free\u2011cash\u2011flow generation.<\/p>\n<p>Investors will be closely monitoring the upcoming results for clues on profitability trends and any potential dividend declaration, while the stock\u2019s recent momentum suggests continued market interest in the company\u2019s post\u2011listing performance.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysts expect Jio Platforms&#8217; profit to climb 3% in Q2 FY27, while the stock jumps over 4% after a strong market debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[299],"tags":[3383,3049,3382,1415,1413],"class_list":["post-3021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dividend","tag-jio-platforms","tag-q2-fy27","tag-revenue","tag-telecom","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
