Anant Raj Limited reported strong FY26 results with consolidated revenue growing 21.9% to Rs. 2,511.60 crore and PAT rising 30.8% to Rs. 557.02 crore compared to FY25. Standalone revenue increased 21.4% to Rs. 1,491.52 crore with PAT up 36.2% to Rs. 298.39 crore. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1 per share (50% on face value Rs. 2). Auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial statements. The company also announced plans to demerge its Real Estate and Data Center businesses into separate entities to unlock shareholder value, with a committee formed to evaluate the structure. The data center business is expanding with an MOU for 50 MW capacity in Andhra Pradesh, taking total planned capacity to 357 MW with Rs. 20,000 crore investment planned. However, consolidated operating cash flow turned negative at Rs. 434.77 crore despite healthy profits.
Strong profit growth and clean audit are positives for shareholders, but the negative operating cash flow despite profits raises concerns about cash conversion quality. The proposed demerger of real estate and data center businesses could unlock significant value by allowing investors to participate in each business segment separately.
