Wealth First Portfolio Managers Reports Q2 & H1 FY26 Results; Declares Interim Dividend and Progresses on AMC Venture
Wealth First reported Q2/H1 FY26 results with core business growth, despite PAT decline due to market volatility and one-time costs. Company declared ₹8 interim dividend and progressed on AMC and insurance broking ventures.
The announcement has a medium impact due to mixed financial results (core business growth offset by PAT decline) combined with positive strategic developments like the interim dividend declaration and the progress on the AMC and insurance broking ventures. These strategic moves could drive future growth but their immediate impact is not fully realized.
While core business activity income and AUM showed growth, and strategic initiatives like the AMC and insurance broker license are positive, the significant decline in Q2 PAT and total revenue due to market conditions and one-time expenses balances the overall sentiment to neutral. The dividend declaration is positive but does not outweigh the financial declines.
Wealth First Portfolio Managers Limited announced its un-audited financial results for the Quarter (Q2) and Half Year (H1) ended 30th September, 2025, along with an investor presentation. * Financial Highlights (Q2 FY26 vs Q2 FY25): Total revenue stood at ₹20.8 crore, an 11.8% year-on-year (YoY) decline. Profit After Tax (PAT) was ₹11.1 crore, a 27% YoY decline. Business Activity Income increased by 9.7% YoY to ₹17.9 crore. Trail Base Revenue remained flat at ₹12.9 crore. Cost to Income ratio increased to 30.7% due to one-time expenses (BSE listing, PMS Renewal fee, SIF registration fee, CSR activities) and higher employee costs. * Financial Highlights (H1 FY26 vs H1 FY25): Total revenue was ₹45.7 crore, a 1.1% YoY increase. PAT was ₹27.0 crore, a 7.4% YoY decline. Business Activity Income increased by 13.3% YoY to ₹33.7 crore. Trail Base Revenue grew by 2.9% to ₹24.7 crore. Assets Under Administration (AUA) grew 5.0% YoY to ₹12,574 crore. * Management Commentary: Mr. Ashish Shah, Managing Director, highlighted the sustained growth in core revenue streams and the strength of operations. He noted that the decline in total revenue and PAT was primarily due to lower trading and other income impacted by market corrections and mark-to-market adjustments, and increased one-time expenses. He emphasized that these fluctuations do not affect the structural strength of the business. The company added 1,010 new clients, bringing the total to 21,237, and onboarded 502 new client families, totaling 6,717. * Strategic Initiatives: The company is advancing a joint venture to set up an Asset Management Company (AMC) named 'Lakshya Asset Management Private Limited', expecting final SEBI approval shortly. They have also received IRDAI approval to operate as a Direct Insurance Broker (Life & General) under 'Wealthshield Insurance Brokers Private Limited'. * Dividend: The Board has declared an interim dividend of ₹8.0 per equity share (face value ₹10 each) for H1 FY26.
