Zaggle Prepaid Shares Fall 20% After Q1 Profit Declines Despite Revenue Growth
Shares of Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services fell 20%, hitting a 52-week low after the company reported a 32.9% year-on-year decline in Q1 FY27 net profit to Rs 17.53 crore despite a 27.5% rise in revenue to Rs 423.27 crore. The profit drop was attributed to acquisition-related expenses from Dice, including transaction and relocation costs, which also compressed margins. Management highlighted a strategic shift toward consolidation, AI scaling, and integrating acquisitions, aiming for higher-margin growth in future quarters.
