The full read
Incap's audited results for FY2026 show a company with shrinking revenue and collapsing profit. Revenue from operations fell 5.7% to ₹31.67 crores. Full-year net profit was cut by more than half, to ₹33.71 lakhs from ₹79.95 lakhs. The damage was concentrated in the fourth quarter, which posted a net loss of ₹32.27 lakhs against an ₹8.01 lakh loss a year ago. The board kept the dividend at 10%. For a nano-cap with a market value of ₹46 crores, a full-year profit under ₹34 lakhs leaves almost no margin for error. The quarterly trend is worsening, not stabilising.
