Crest Ventures Ltd reported standalone net profit of Rs 3,949.63 lakhs for FY2026 ended March 31, 2026, nearly half of Rs 7,882.43 lakhs in the previous year. Total income declined to Rs 11,669.28 lakhs from Rs 16,414.03 lakhs year-on-year. Basic EPS dropped to Rs 14.00 from Rs 27.96. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 1 per equity share (10% on face value of Rs 10), subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on August 22, 2026 (record date August 14, 2026). The company also announced a proposed demerger scheme transferring a division to Crest Capital and Investment Ltd, and appointed Mr. Manish Jadhav as Chief Information Security Officer. Deposits of Rs 15,529.75 lakhs with counterparties remain an auditor emphasis matter despite management asserting full recoverability.
The sharp decline in profits and EPS may concern short-term investors, though the modest dividend provides some return. The proposed demerger could create long-term value. The company's capital adequacy at 64.40% remains healthy, indicating financial stability despite lower profitability.
