The full read
Dalal Street Investments, a nano-cap with a market cap of just ₹11 crores, has reported a sharp turnaround in the fourth quarter of FY26. After two quarters of zero revenue and net losses, Q4 delivered ₹15 lakhs in revenue and a net profit of ₹12.63 lakhs — compared to a loss of ₹18.17 lakhs in Q3 and a loss of ₹41.29 lakhs in the year-ago quarter. But the full-year picture is less rosy: the company ended FY26 with a net loss of ₹1.26 lakhs, down from a profit of ₹13.83 lakhs in FY25. The quarterly recovery is notable for a company of this size, but the annual loss shows it's not out of the woods yet. The open question is whether Q4 was a one-off or the start of a sustained improvement.
