IFCI shares jumped another 2% to hit a fresh 52-week high of ₹91.49 on Tuesday, extending the remarkable bull run that has seen the stock surge nearly 30% in just three sessions. According to The Economic Times, this latest surge has added more than ₹5,660 crore to the company's market capitalisation, pushing it up to more than ₹24,650 crore. The exceptional performance continues the momentum that began with shares hitting a fresh 52-week high of ₹91.36 on Monday, June 15, which marked the second straight day of gains for IFCI after already rallying 20% last Friday amid reports that NSE could take a step further towards its listing journey.
IFCI has delivered remarkable returns in 2026, with shares rallying 69% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the broader market.

The excitement surrounding the NSE IPO is driving significant momentum across related stocks, with the proposed public issue expected to rank among the biggest IPOs in India's capital market history. According to The Economic Times, the proposed public issue will be entirely an offer for sale (OFS), with no fresh issue of shares, and the exchange has a broad-based shareholder base comprising domestic financial institutions, insurance companies, foreign investors, and individual shareholders. IFCI holds an indirect stake in NSE via its subsidiary Stock Holding Corporation of India (SHCIL), with IFCI owning a 52.86% stake in SHCIL and SHCIL holding a 4.4% stake in the exchange as of the December quarter. NSE's board approved the proposed IPO on February 6, following the receipt of SEBI's no-objection certificate (NOC), and SEBI earlier this year granted a no-objection certificate (NOC) for NSE's much-awaited IPO, removing a key regulatory hurdle that had delayed the process for years.
IFCI has demonstrated strong financial performance across multiple metrics, with the NBFC firm reporting total revenue from operations of ₹2,068.84 crore for FY26, up from ₹2,018.52 crore in FY25. According to NSE data, the company has declared a net profit of ₹434.71 crore for FY26, compared with ₹348.61 crore in FY25, registering a jump of 25%. For Q4 FY26, IFCI reported total revenue from operations of ₹470 crore compared with ₹413.61 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, registering a growth of 13.63%. Interest income during the quarter rose to ₹153.40 crore from ₹149.07 crore, while profit after tax came in at ₹34 crore for Q4 FY26, sharply lower than ₹260 crore reported in the corresponding quarter last year. From the beginning of the year, IFCI shares have soared 71%, with the stock rallying 43% over a month's time and 87% in the past six months.
