Prime Securities Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹236 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reversing the net loss of ₹1,292 lakh posted in Q4FY26. Consolidated revenue from operations rose to ₹3,368 lakh, compared to ₹3,078 lakh in the preceding quarter, driven by a higher number of deals and larger deal sizes in its investment banking segment. The company’s strategy focuses on stabilizing earnings through franchise businesses like Prime Trigen Wealth Limited (PTWL), which now manages over ₹5,000 crore in assets under management and administration (AUM/AUA).

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 23, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Sharp & Tannan Associates, the statutory auditors, issued an unmodified review report but included an emphasis of matter regarding a settlement entered into by subsidiary Prime Research and Advisory Limited with a customer on June 4, 2026. Additionally, associate company Ark Neo Financial Services Private Limited has a negative net worth as of June 30, 2026.

Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s standalone performance showed stronger profitability, with a net profit after tax of ₹906 lakh, compared to a loss of ₹372 lakh in Q4FY26. Standalone fee and commission income surged to ₹1,555 lakh from ₹725 lakh in the previous quarter. Consolidated pre-tax profit (PBT) before exceptional items stood at ₹639 lakh, reversing a loss of ₹594 lakh in Q4FY26.

Strategic Investments and Outlook

A significant divergence exists between consolidated and standalone profitability, primarily driven by expansion costs at PTWL. While the holding company generated a standalone PBT of ₹1,179 lakh, PTWL reported a PBT loss of ₹1,082 lakh in the quarter, compared to a loss of ₹441 lakh in Q1FY26. Management attributes this to fixed expenses of approximately ₹60 crore expected in FY27 and regulatory changes that have deferred trail income recognition by one year.

PTWL has onboarded 1,400+ clients and 750+ families, operating from 14 locations with over 105 employees. The total group headcount stands at 147. Management envisages PTWL breaking even in about five or six quarters, with revenue generation from its ₹5,000 crore AUM/AUA expected to commence in Q2 or Q3 FY27. The group maintains a cash plus investments position of approximately ₹270 crore as of June 30, 2026, providing liquidity to support these growth initiatives.

What the Numbers Show

The financials highlight a deliberate trade-off between short-term profitability and long-term annuity revenue creation. The rise in employee benefit expenses to ₹938 lakh in Q1FY27, compared to lower levels in Q1FY26, reflects the ramp-up of the wealth management vertical. Although the advisory business does not lend itself to quarterly extrapolation due to its episodic nature, the steady rise in deal size and number suggests underlying strength in the core investment banking franchise. The negative PBT from PTWL is fully recognized as an expense, while revenue recognition is delayed, creating a temporary drag on consolidated margins that is expected to normalize as the AUM base begins generating trail income later in FY27.

Lloyds Engineering Works Limited (LEWL) has acquired a controlling stake in Steel Infra Solutions Company Limited (SISCOL) at an equity valuation of around ₹1,220 Cr, aiming to create one of India's most integrated engineering, structural fabrication, and EPC platforms. Prime Securities Limited acted as the exclusive investment banker for the transaction. The acquisition is expected to unlock significant operational synergies across procurement, project management, engineering, manufacturing planning, and corporate functions.

SISCOL, incorporated in 2017, reported operating revenues of ₹817 Cr, EBITDA of ₹92 Cr, and PAT of ₹44 Cr for FY26. The company holds an order book of ₹1,134 Cr and operates a structural steel fabrication capacity of ~100,000 MTPA. Since inception, SISCOL has executed 187 structural steel projects across 22 states, including landmarks such as the Delhi Airport Terminal 1 and the Noida International Airport at Jewar.

LEWL is a diversified infrastructure solutions company with capabilities across precision heavy structural fabrication, industrial equipment, defence, electrical engineering, and EPC. Over the last seven years, the company has grown from revenues of ₹98 Cr in FY19 to over ₹3,000 Cr today. It currently maintains an order book of ₹8,000+ Cr and a market capitalization of ₹12,800 Cr.

The acquisition is funded through a combination of cash and equity. Post-transaction, LEWL plans to double SISCOL's capacity from 100,000 to 200,000 MTPA. SISCOL will continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership, with Ravi Uppal continuing as Chairman and Managing Director.

Financial and Operational Metrics

Ravi Uppal, Chairman and Managing Director of SISCOL, highlighted the complementary strengths and business synergies between the two companies. Shreekrishna Gupta, Executive Director of LEWL, stated that the acquisition builds a platform for the future by combining SISCOL's engineering talent with Lloyds Engineering's EPC strengths. N Jayakumar, Group CEO & MD of Prime Securities Limited, noted that the strategic consolidation should create significant value for both sets of shareholders.
