Corporate Merchant Bankers Limited reported a profit of Rs 57.71 lakh for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025), compared to a loss of Rs 4.22 lakh in the same quarter last year. Total revenue (entirely from 'other income', with zero revenue from operations) rose to Rs 164.55 lakh from Rs 36.28 lakh in Q1 FY25. Total expenses doubled to Rs 87.57 lakh, driven mainly by a sharp jump in employee benefit expenses from Rs 0.63 lakh to Rs 25.91 lakh. EPS stood at Rs 0.17 versus a negative Rs 0.01 in the year-ago quarter. The statutory auditor issued an unmodified limited review report with no qualifications.
While the headline shows a turnaround from loss to profit, investors should note that the company has zero operational revenue across all reported periods — all earnings come from 'other income' (likely interest or non-core items). The company operates in a 'Trading' segment but reports no trading revenue, which raises concerns about the sustainability of these profits.
