The Sandesh Limited Reports Significant Profit Decline for Q2 and H1 FY26 Amid Investment Losses
The Sandesh Limited reported a sharp drop in Q2 and H1 FY26 profit after tax for both standalone and consolidated results, largely due to substantial investment losses despite some revenue growth.
The announcement of financial results, particularly a significant decline in profitability, is a key indicator of a company's performance and can have a substantial impact on investor perception and stock valuation.
The company reported a significant decrease in profit after tax for both the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025, for both standalone and consolidated results. This decline is directly linked to substantial net losses on investments, which outweighs any positive revenue growth.
* The Board of Directors of The Sandesh Limited approved the Standalone and Consolidated Un-audited Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025, at its meeting held on November 12, 2025. * For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the standalone total income was ₹7,400.83 lakhs, with a profit after tax of ₹920.17 lakhs. This represents a decrease compared to the previous year's corresponding quarter, which had a total income of ₹7,912.93 lakhs and a profit after tax of ₹1,899.52 lakhs. * For the half year ended September 30, 2025, the standalone total income increased to ₹15,030.34 lakhs from ₹11,173.24 lakhs in the previous year. However, profit after tax significantly declined to ₹2,737.68 lakhs from ₹4,268.83 lakhs. * On a consolidated basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total revenue was ₹7,783.47 lakhs (up from ₹7,490.06 lakhs last year), but profit after tax decreased to ₹1,024.45 lakhs from ₹1,977.70 lakhs. * For the half year ended September 30, 2025, consolidated total revenue rose to ₹15,116.54 lakhs from ₹11,340.15 lakhs. Despite this revenue growth, consolidated profit after tax fell to ₹2,383.15 lakhs from ₹4,354.91 lakhs. * The decline in profit after tax for both standalone and consolidated results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, is primarily attributed to a significant net loss on investments in Equity Shares and Mutual Funds designated at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL), amounting to ₹1,825.74 lakhs (standalone) and ₹1,826.74 lakhs (consolidated) included in other expenses.
