ICICI Prudential AMC Q2 FY27 (results on 12 Oct 2026): net profit Rs 888.96 crore (+6.1% YoY, -7.8% QoQ), revenue from operations Rs 1,673.79 crore (+16.3% YoY), quarterly average AUM Rs 11.61 lakh crore (+14.4% YoY), interim dividend Rs 30 per share, record date 21 Oct 2026.
Quick Answer
ICICI Prudential AMC reported a Q2 FY27 net profit of Rs 888.96 crore, up 6.1% from Rs 837.99 crore a year earlier but down 7.8% from Rs 964.63 crore in Q1, while revenue from operations grew 16.3% to Rs 1,673.79 crore. The gap between strong revenue and soft profit comes from other income, which fell to Rs 16.91 crore from Rs 180.80 crore in Q1 because of mark-to-market losses on the company’s own investments. The board declared an interim dividend of Rs 30 per share with a record date of 21 October 2026, and the share closed 2.01% lower at Rs 2,969.40 on 12 October. Jefferies and Emkay both rate the stock Buy, with target prices of Rs 3,760 and Rs 3,800.
ICICI Prudential AMC is the asset management company behind ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, and its Q2 FY27 numbers show a business that is growing fast at the operating level while its reported profit is held back by market volatility. The headline on the results says the same thing: the company delivered on growth, but swings in the market curtailed profit.
This guide breaks down the ICICI Prudential AMC results line by line, explains why profit fell from the June quarter, covers the AUM, margin and fee yield data, the Rs 30 interim dividend, redemption trends and what brokerages expect next. Where sources disagree or I have calculated a number myself, I say so.
Anyone tracking the stock should read the quarter in two parts: the core fee business, which grew well, and the treasury income on the company’s own book, which moves with the market and was weak this quarter.

ICICI Prudential AMC Q2 FY27 Results: Key Numbers
| Item | Q2 FY27 | Q2 FY26 | Q1 FY27 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations (Rs crore) | 1,673.79 | 1,439.06 | 1,564.22 | +16.3% YoY, +7% QoQ |
| Other income (Rs crore) | 16.91 | Not found | 180.80 | Sharply lower QoQ |
| Total expenses (Rs crore) | 493 | 418.31 | 464.37 | +17.9% YoY, +6.2% QoQ |
| Operating profit before tax (Rs crore) | 1,180.79 | 1,020.75 | Not found | +15.7% YoY |
| Profit before tax (Rs crore) | 1,197.70 | Not found | Not found | +9.6% YoY |
| Net profit (Rs crore) | 888.96 | 837.99 | 964.63 | +6.1% YoY, -7.8% QoQ |
| EPS (Rs) | 17.99 | 16.95 | 19.52 | +6.1% YoY |
Operating profit before tax is revenue less expenses: Rs 1,673.79 crore minus Rs 493 crore gives Rs 1,180.79 crore. Adding other income of Rs 16.91 crore gives the profit before tax of Rs 1,197.70 crore, and tax of Rs 308.74 crore (up 21.3%) leaves the net profit of Rs 888.96 crore. The effective tax rate works out to about 25.8% (my calculation).
One source says the profit grew 7% year on year, but Rs 888.96 crore against Rs 837.99 crore is a rise of 6.1%, so I have used that figure.

Why ICICI Prudential AMC Profit Fell From the June Quarter
The fall in profit is not an operating story. Revenue rose 7% from Q1, but other income collapsed from Rs 180.80 crore to Rs 16.91 crore. Emkay attributes this to mark-to-market losses, meaning the value of the investments the company holds on its own balance sheet dropped with the market. These are largely unrealised valuation changes, not cash that went out of the business.
| Driver | What happened | Effect on profit |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Up 16.3% YoY and 7% QoQ to Rs 1,673.79 crore | Positive |
| Other income | Rs 16.91 crore against Rs 180.80 crore in Q1 | Negative, the main reason for the QoQ fall |
| Fees and commission | Rs 132.85 crore, up 30.3% | Negative, faster than revenue |
| Employee costs | Rs 212.77 crore, up 14.3% | Negative, slower than revenue |
| Tax | Rs 308.74 crore, up 21.3% | Negative |
Risk: Treasury income on the company’s own investments is volatile. If markets stay weak, another quarter of mark-to-market losses could keep reported ICICI Prudential AMC profit below the operating trend.
Total expenses were 29.5% of revenue from operations (my calculation), and the operating margin comes to about 70.5% on the same basis. Emkay quotes an operating margin of 72.6%, which most likely uses a different definition of revenue or costs, so compare margins only within one source.

ICICI Prudential AMC AUM, Fee Yield and Flows
Quarterly average assets under management (QAAUM) were Rs 11.61 lakh crore, up 14.4% from a year earlier and 4% from the June quarter. Because ICICI Prudential AMC earns fees as a share of assets, AUM growth is the base of its revenue. Emkay puts the revenue yield at 57.5 basis points, and annualising revenue over QAAUM gives about 57.7 basis points (my calculation), so the two agree closely.
| Metric | Value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly average AUM | Rs 11.61 lakh crore | +14.4% YoY, +4% QoQ |
| Revenue yield | About 57.5 basis points | Emkay; my calculation gives about 57.7 |
| SIP flows | Rs 46.72 billion in September vs Rs 48.72 billion in June | About Rs 4,672 crore vs Rs 4,872 crore; the source does not make clear whose SIP flow this is |
Management said it is hard to tell whether the recent net outflows and redemptions reflect investors rebalancing or permanent exits. Mid and small-cap funds are a large share of net flows, which means the ICICI Prudential AMC revenue mix is exposed to the same market swings that hit its own investment income.
Risk: Revenue grows with AUM, and AUM falls when markets fall or when investors redeem. A sharp correction in mid and small-cap funds would hit ICICI Prudential AMC twice, through lower fees and lower treasury gains.
ICICI Prudential AMC Rs 30 Interim Dividend: Record Date and Yield
The board declared an interim dividend of Rs 30 per share, with 21 October 2026 as the record date. Only shareholders on the company’s books on that date are eligible. I could not find the payment date, so check the exchange filing.
| Item | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Interim dividend per share | Rs 30 | Company announcement, 12 Oct 2026 |
| Record date | 21 Oct 2026 | Company announcement |
| Approximate shares in issue | About 49.4 crore | My calculation: Rs 888.96 crore / Rs 17.99 EPS |
| Approximate total payout | About Rs 1,482 crore | My calculation: 49.4 crore shares x Rs 30 |
| Payout against Q2 profit | About 1.67 times | My calculation |
| Yield at Rs 2,969.40 | About 1.0% | My calculation: Rs 30 / Rs 2,969.40 |
The interim dividend is larger than one quarter’s profit, which is possible because the company can pay from accumulated reserves. It is a one-time interim declaration, so do not treat the 1.0% yield as a recurring annual yield for ICICI Prudential AMC.
ICICI Prudential AMC Share Price and Brokerage Target Price
The ICICI Prudential AMC share closed 2.01% lower at Rs 2,969.40 on 12 October, the day the results were declared. I could not find a reliable price for 13 October, so check the live quote before acting.
| Brokerage | Rating | Target price (Rs) | Upside from Rs 2,969.40 | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jefferies | Buy | 3,760 (up from 3,600) | About 26.6% | 43 times P/OPAT on Dec 2028 estimates; FY27 to FY29 EPS estimates raised 1% to 2% |
| Emkay | Buy | 3,800 | About 28.0% | PAT beat of 4%; revenue yield driven |
Upside is my calculation from the 12 October close. Jefferies called the quarter a revenue-yield-driven beat. A target price is an analyst’s estimate, not a promise, and it changes when earnings estimates change.
Risk: Both targets assume that AUM keeps growing and that fee yields hold. A fall in equity markets, a fee cap from the regulator or a steady rise in redemptions would weaken that case for ICICI Prudential AMC.
What to Watch Next for ICICI Prudential AMC
- The record date of 21 October 2026 and the dividend payment date in the exchange filing.
- Monthly industry data on SIP flows, net equity inflows and redemptions.
- Whether other income recovers in Q3 FY27 as markets settle, or mark-to-market losses repeat.
- Revenue yield, which Emkay places at 57.5 basis points, for any sign of pressure.
- Revisions to brokerage target price and EPS estimates after the results.
Conclusion
ICICI Prudential AMC delivered 16.3% revenue growth and 14.4% AUM growth in Q2 FY27, yet net profit rose only 6.1% year on year and fell 7.8% from Q1, because other income dropped to Rs 16.91 crore on mark-to-market losses. The Rs 30 interim dividend, Buy ratings from Jefferies and Emkay and a target price near Rs 3,800 support the long-term case, while redemptions and market swings remain the risk to watch.
