Quest Capital Markets Limited reported audited financial results for FY2026 ending 31 March 2026. Total income stood at Rs 3135.61 lakhs, up 21% from Rs 2598.84 lakhs in FY2025. Profit after tax grew 20% to Rs 2352.95 lakhs from Rs 1962.57 lakhs. EPS increased to Rs 23.53 from Rs 19.63. However, other comprehensive income showed a large negative swing of Rs (29372.79) lakhs versus positive Rs 31978.61 lakhs in the prior year, primarily due to changes in fair valuation of investments. Operating cash flow turned negative at Rs (721.05) lakhs compared to positive Rs 3812.69 lakhs in the prior year. The board recommended a dividend of Rs 2.50 per share (25%) subject to shareholder approval. Auditors issued an unmodified opinion with no concerns raised.
Strong profitability growth with 20% PAT increase is positive for shareholders. However, the large negative other comprehensive income of Rs 293.73 crore from investment fair value changes significantly reduced total equity, and negative operating cash flow of Rs 7.21 crore despite positive profits warrants monitoring. The clean audit opinion provides comfort.
