Capital Trust’s FY26 results reveal a business in retreat. The micro-lender posted a net loss of ₹46.8 cr, a sharp reversal from the ₹1.1 cr profit reported in the prior year. Revenue fell to ₹42.4 cr, driven by a steep decline in interest and fee income. The company’s loan book now stands at ₹31.3 cr, as management pulled back from unsecured lending to manage collection stress. Impairment charges of ₹12.3 cr further pressured the bottom line, leaving the company with total equity of ₹61.5 cr, down from ₹85.9 cr. For a firm with a market capitalization of roughly ₹47 cr, these losses are substantial.
