What's new

  • Net profit fell 17% to ₹97.67 lacs in FY2026, driven by lower F&O and jobbing income.
  • Interest and rental income remained stable year-on-year.
  • Auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the accounts.

Why this matters

The decline is isolated to trading income, not the core lending and rental book. For a ₹25 crore nano-cap, this is a routine earnings update with no operational surprise. The unmodified audit opinion removes any governance overhang.

What we're watching

  • Trends in the core interest and rental book.
  • Any changes in capital allocation or dividend policy.
