Peeti Securities Ltd concluded its 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 30, 2026, with all proposed resolutions approved by shareholders. The meeting, held at the company's registered office in Hyderabad, saw the adoption of audited financial statements and the reappointment of key board members.

The voting process combined electronic voting and physical polling. E-voting was open from September 27 to September 29, 2026, while physical voting took place during the AGM on September 30. The scrutinizer's report confirmed that all items were passed with the requisite majority as per SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations.

Key Resolutions Approved

Shareholders voted on four primary agenda items, covering financial disclosures and governance changes. The details of the votes cast are summarized below:

Voting Participation and Scrutiny

The company reported a total of 2,701 shareholders as of the record date. Of these, 20 individuals participated either in person or through proxy, while no shareholders attended via video conference. The e-voting facility was provided by Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL).

Anand Kumar C Kasat, Practicing Company Secretary from Kasat & Associates, served as the scrutinizer. He confirmed that the voting process was conducted fairly and transparently. The votes were reconciled with the company's records and authorizations before being declared valid.

Governance Continuity

The approvals ensure continuity in the company's leadership structure. Mrs. Nisha Peeti was reappointed as a director following her retirement by rotation. Additionally, the roles of Chairman and Managing Director, as well as Whole Time Director, were reaffirmed through special resolutions requiring a higher threshold of approval.

What the Numbers Show

A distinct pattern emerges when analyzing the vote distribution across shareholder categories. The promoter and promoter group, holding 1,263,750 shares, voted unanimously in favor of all resolutions, casting 1,153,900 votes. In contrast, public non-institutional shareholders, who hold a larger stake of 2,421,150 shares, recorded minimal dissent, with only 159 to 160 votes cast against any resolution. This indicates that the overwhelming majority of dissenting votes originated from the public non-institutional segment, although their total volume remained negligible relative to the overall votes polled.

Peeti Securities Limited reported a net profit of ₹7.96 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), marking a recovery from a net loss of ₹9.14 lakh recorded in FY25.

The Hyderabad-based textile trading firm saw its revenue from operations rise marginally to ₹2,352.30 lakh, up from ₹2,315.57 lakh in the prior year. The turnaround was supported by a reduction in total expenses, which fell to ₹2,353.36 lakh from ₹2,364.73 lakh despite stable top-line growth.

Financial Performance

The company’s profitability improved as operating costs were managed effectively. While revenue grew by approximately 1.6%, the company reduced its expenditure base, leading to a pre-tax profit of ₹10.99 lakh against a pre-tax loss of ₹9.41 lakh in FY25.

Other income declined significantly to ₹12.05 lakh from ₹39.75 lakh in the previous year, primarily due to lower gains on the sale of shares. In FY25, the company recorded a profit of ₹19.29 lakh on share sales, whereas it incurred a loss of ₹4.35 lakh on such transactions in FY26.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Peeti Securities strengthened its liquidity position during the year. Cash and cash equivalents increased to ₹95.52 lakh from ₹54.13 lakh at the end of FY25. The current ratio improved sharply to 21.33 times from 15.12 times, reflecting a substantial decrease in current liabilities to ₹41.39 lakh from ₹61.47 lakh.

Total assets stood at ₹1,250.19 lakh, down slightly from ₹1,275.08 lakh. Investments in equity instruments decreased to ₹230.75 lakh from ₹254.33 lakh. The company maintained a debt-free status with no long-term or short-term borrowings reported.

What the Numbers Show

The improvement in net profit was driven almost entirely by operational cost containment rather than revenue growth. With revenue increasing by less than 2%, the elimination of the previous year's loss highlights the impact of reducing other expenses and stabilizing purchase costs. However, the reliance on non-operating income remains volatile; other income dropped by nearly 70%, indicating that core operational margins remain thin and sensitive to input cost fluctuations.

Corporate Governance Updates

The Board of Directors proposed the reappointment of Sandeep Peeti as Chairman and Managing Director and Rajesh Pitty as Whole-Time Director for a three-year term starting January 1, 2026. Both executives are set to receive remuneration of up to ₹60 lakh per annum. No dividend was declared for FY26, with profits planned to be ploughed back into business operations.
