Enbee Trade & Finance disclosed that promoter group entity Ssamta Amar Gaala acquired 54,24,668 equity shares in the open market between September 2 and September 3, 2026.

The acquisition represents a 0.78% increase in the promoter’s holding relative to the total voting capital. This move brings the post-transaction stake of Ssamta Amar Gaala to 1,24,58,495 shares, or 1.79% of the company’s total diluted share capital.

Transaction Details

The purchase was executed via open market transactions over two trading days. Prior to this acquisition, Ssamta Amar Gaala held 1,78,83,163 shares, constituting 2.57% of the voting capital. No shares were encumbered with pledges or liens before or after the transaction.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists in the reported shareholding figures. While the pre-acquisition holding was stated as 1,78,83,163 shares (2.57%) and the acquisition added 54,24,668 shares, the resulting post-acquisition balance is reported as 1,24,58,495 shares (1.79%). This indicates a net reduction in absolute share count despite the classified "acquisition" event, suggesting simultaneous disposals or other adjustments not detailed in the primary acquisition summary but reflected in the final holding count. The total diluted voting capital remained constant at 697,286,312 shares throughout the period.

Enbee Trade & Finance reported a 153% year-on-year increase in net profit for FY26, reaching ₹1,251.87 lakh. The Mumbai-based non-banking financial company (NBFC) saw its interest income rise 55% to ₹3,062.31 lakh, reflecting robust loan book growth and operational efficiency.

The company’s total assets expanded by 15.8% to ₹15,870.62 lakh, with the loan portfolio growing 14.5% to ₹15,316.93 lakh. Despite higher finance costs of ₹528.52 lakh, the firm maintained healthy asset quality with zero gross non-performing assets (NPAs) as of March 31, 2026.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations stood at ₹3,062.31 lakh, up from ₹1,973.38 lakh in the previous fiscal. Total expenses increased to ₹1,385.72 lakh from ₹1,167.97 lakh, primarily due to higher employee benefit expenses and finance costs. The effective tax rate was 25.36%, compared to 38.58% in FY25.

Balance Sheet & Capital Raise

Total borrowings rose to ₹5,372.03 lakh from ₹5,096.19 lakh. The company’s adjusted net debt-to-equity ratio improved to 0.59 from 0.64. Post the reporting period, Enbee Trade & Finance completed a rights issue of 12.56 crore equity shares at ₹1 each, raising ₹12.56 crore to repay promoter loans and augment capital.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and expense management highlights improved operating leverage. While interest income surged 55%, total expenses grew only 18.6%, leading to a significant expansion in pre-tax profits. Furthermore, the complete absence of Stage 3 loans indicates strong credit underwriting, allowing the company to book lower impairment charges relative to its expanding asset base.
