CESC stock slips as revenue and profit stay in focus
Published on 09/02/2026 at 07:32 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSCESC Limited (INE124B01018) stock was quoted at INR 145.10 on September 1, 2026, with a market capitalization of INR 219.514 billion and a daily move of minus 0.73 percent. Yahoo Finance also showed a 52-week range of INR 119.00 to INR 185.25 and volume of 902,645 shares.
Quarterly numbers still matter
For the latest quarter shown in the market data, CESC reported revenue of INR 52.02 billion and earnings of INR 3.87 billion for Q1 FY26. That gives the stock a clear anchor in operating cash generation, not just a daily quote.
The same data set shows revenue at INR 52.02 billion and earnings at INR 3.87 billion, while the companys revenue trend and margin profile remain the key items for equity investors. The comparison is concrete: revenue and earnings are both visible in the latest quarterly view, not in a generic forward-looking comment.
Trading band is tight
The share price of INR 145.10 sits well above the 52-week low of INR 119.00 and below the 52-week high of INR 185.25, which leaves room for a chart-driven move either way. NSE market data also placed CESC at INR 145.10, down 0.73 percent, in a session where the NIFTY Smallcap 50 fell 0.29 percent to 9,909.05 on September 1, 2026.
That relative performance matters because the index move was mild but negative, while CESC still underperformed by a similar margin. The market cap figure of INR 219.514 billion is the other anchor that keeps the stock in the large-cap utility conversation.
CESC revenue and margin base
Latest quoted quarterly figures keep revenue, earnings and valuation in one place for a fast investor read.
Power utility profile

Stock level and range
The stock closed at INR 145.10 on September 1, 2026, or 22.6 percent below the 52-week high of INR 185.25 and 21.9 percent above the 52-week low of INR 119.00. For investors, that spread is the cleanest short-term frame around the name right now.
