Shanti Educational Initiatives Stock Shows Resilience Amid Market Volatility
In a display of remarkable resilience, shares of Shanti Educational Initiatives, a recognized multibagger stock, surged approximately 5% from their intraday low during a volatile trading session on Dalal Street. The stock experienced initial pressure, declining 4% to touch its day's low of ₹169.55 on the BSE. However, it staged a strong recovery, climbing as much as 4.7% to reach an intraday high of ₹177.50.
Long-Term Performance Remains Spectacular
The stock currently trades about 11% below its 52-week high of ₹200, achieved in December 2025. This modest distance from the peak contrasts sharply with its extraordinary performance from the bottom. The share price has skyrocketed an impressive 181% from its 52-week low of ₹63.15, recorded in May 2025.
This small-cap stock has consistently delivered positive returns to investors across multiple timeframes. Over the past year, the stock has appreciated by 77%. The momentum remains strong with a 73% gain in the last six months, a 60.5% increase over three months, and a modest but positive 4% rise in the past month. Most notably, Shanti Educational Initiatives has proven to be a true multibagger in the long term, soaring over 1200% during the last five years.
Q3 Financial Performance Shows Significant Contraction
The company's financial results for the third quarter ending December 2025 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025, reveal substantial challenges. For Q3 FY26, consolidated revenue from operations fell sharply by about 71.6% year-on-year to ₹582.53 lakh, compared with ₹2,054.91 lakh in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.
This dramatic contraction in topline was mirrored at the bottom line. Consolidated profit after tax declined around 73.6% YoY to ₹51.41 lakh, down from ₹195.00 lakh in Q3 FY25.
Nine-Month Performance and Institutional Holdings
The performance over the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025, also reflected ongoing pressure. Consolidated revenue from operations for this period stood at ₹1,141.72 lakh, while consolidated profit came in at ₹262.05 lakh. On a standalone basis, the company reported nine-month revenue of ₹575.20 lakh and profit of ₹260.44 lakh, indicating that most earnings during this period were generated at the standalone level rather than through consolidated operations.
On the shareholding front, institutional interest saw a marginal uptick. As of December 2025, foreign institutional investors held 22.50% in the company, while domestic institutional investors owned 0.16%. Both figures represent increases compared with their holdings in September 2025.
