The full read
Sumedha Fiscal Services ended FY2026 on a sour note. The company posted a standalone net loss of ₹2.11 crore for the March quarter, a sharp reversal from the ₹0.22 crore profit recorded just three months prior. For the full year, net profit fell 64% to ₹2.38 crore, down from ₹6.59 crore in FY2025. While total income for the quarter reached ₹28.87 crore, expenses ballooned to ₹31.65 crore. Management attributed this margin squeeze to rising costs of stock-in-trade and fair value losses. Despite the earnings slump, the board maintained the dividend at Re. 1 per share. With a market capitalization of only ₹34 crore, the company faces a difficult path to restore investor confidence after this quarterly loss.
