Crest Ventures, an NBFC, reported a sharp fall in earnings for Q3 FY26 and 9M FY26. Standalone total income fell to ₹2,559.47 lakhs in Q3 (vs ₹3,522.13 lakhs YoY) and ₹9,544.03 lakhs for 9M (vs ₹12,768.86 lakhs YoY). Standalone net profit dropped to ₹949.76 lakhs (Q3) and ₹3,442.51 lakhs (9M), down from ₹1,125.38 lakhs and ₹7,394.41 lakhs respectively. On a consolidated basis, net profit stood at ₹1,130.97 lakhs (Q3) and ₹4,078.47 lakhs (9M), versus ₹1,453.08 lakhs and ₹8,225.28 lakhs YoY. The company redeemed ₹93 crore of 12% NCDs and issued fresh NCDs of ₹100 crore via private placement. A scheme of demerger into Crest Capital and Investment Ltd was approved on December 18, 2025. The auditor flagged an emphasis of matter regarding ₹15,529.75 lakhs in unsecured deposits placed with counterparties for joint development deals in FY23 and FY24.
The roughly 50% drop in 9M profit and weak revenue growth, combined with the auditor's emphasis on large unsecured deposits pending formalisation, may weigh on the stock in the near term. However, the company remains well-capitalised (Capital Adequacy Ratio of 77.12% standalone) with a low debt-equity ratio of 0.18, and the demerger could unlock value over time.
