By the next day the stock moved 0.1 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.8 pts more than its Other Financial Services peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Corporate Merchant Bankers Limited reported a strong turnaround for FY25 with total income rising to Rs. 366.96 lakhs from Rs. 9.70 lakhs in FY24, driven entirely by other income (revenue from operations was nil). Profit after tax swung from a loss of Rs. 22.61 lakhs to a profit of Rs. 216.26 lakhs, taking EPS to Rs. 0.66 from negative Rs. 0.69. No dividend was declared for FY25, and the statutory auditor (J Singh & Associates) issued an unmodified opinion. However, operating cash flow was deeply negative at Rs. -7,535.94 lakhs, borrowings surged to Rs. 90.86 crore (from Rs. 15.58 crore), and other non-current assets jumped sharply to Rs. 95.99 crore, pushing the debt-to-equity ratio to roughly 17x.
The headline PAT turnaround looks impressive but is misleading — it comes entirely from non-operating income while the core trading business generated zero revenue and burned cash heavily. Shareholders should note the very high leverage and negative operating cash flow, which raise concerns about business sustainability despite the reported profit.
