Centrum Capital posts ₹101 cr standalone profit in FY26, reversing ₹69 cr loss

Centrum Capital's standalone turnaround is the headline: a swing from a ₹69 crore loss in FY25 to a ₹101 crore profit in FY26, driven by a blowout Q4 that delivered ₹162 crore of net income — a 1,370% sequential jump. The statutory auditor gave an unmodified opinion, and the company confirmed no deviation in use of earlier warrant proceeds. But the consolidated group remains in loss, with revenue rising 12% QoQ to ₹1,049 crore in Q4 offset by impairment charges at the banking subsidiary. Separately, the board approved raising up to ₹1,000 crore each via non-convertible debentures and equity-linked instruments, though this had been telegraphed in prior disclosures. The clean audit and standalone recovery are genuine positives for a micro-cap, but the results are backward-looking and the fund-raise is old news. The open question is whether consolidated profitability can follow the standalone lead.
