Sugal & Damani Share Brokers Ltd reported a sharp contraction in profitability for the first quarter of FY27, with standalone net profit falling to ₹18.99 lakh compared to ₹203.88 lakh in Q1FY26. The decline was primarily driven by a significant drop in revenue from operations, which stood at ₹158.56 lakh, down from ₹616.39 lakh in the corresponding period last year.

The company’s Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 13, 2026. The filing covers both standalone and consolidated figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

Segment Performance Divergence

The financial results highlight a stark divergence between the company’s two primary business segments: stock broking and real estate. While the broking arm maintained robust profitability, the real estate division recorded an operating loss.

The stock broking segment generated revenue of ₹85.54 lakh, a modest increase from ₹82.33 lakh in Q1FY26. It contributed an operating profit of ₹55.92 lakh, demonstrating stability in this line of business. In contrast, the real estate segment saw revenue plummet to ₹97.45 lakh from ₹556.08 lakh year-ago. This segment incurred an operating loss of ₹26.41 lakh, reversing the profit of ₹215.29 lakh recorded in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a critical shift in profit concentration. In Q1FY26, the real estate segment contributed approximately 80% of the total operating profit before interest and taxes. In Q1FY27, the stock broking segment became the sole profit driver, accounting for nearly 200% of the combined operating profit before interest and taxes (due to the real estate loss). This indicates that the company’s current earnings are entirely dependent on its broking operations, while the real estate business is currently a drag on overall profitability.

Balance Sheet and Other Metrics

Total comprehensive income for the quarter was ₹87.78 lakh, up significantly from ₹29.76 lakh in the preceding quarter (Q4FY26), largely due to other comprehensive income items which stood at ₹68.79 lakh (net of tax) for Q1FY27.

The company’s paid-up equity share capital remains unchanged at ₹625.00 lakh. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) for continuing operations were ₹0.30, down from ₹3.26 in Q1FY26.

The auditors, Diyali B and Associates, issued a limited review report stating that nothing came to their attention to suggest the financial statements contain material misstatement. The company announced that its 33rd Annual General Meeting will be held on September 28, 2026, via Other Audio-Visual Means.

Sugal & Damani Share Brokers reported a 13% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹412.83 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹474.92 crore in the previous year. The company's revenue from operations decreased to ₹1,965.53 crore from ₹2,533.98 crore in FY25, primarily driven by its real estate segment. The Board of Directors approved the audited financial results and recommended a final dividend of ₹1 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Financial Performance

The decline in profitability was attributed to reduced income across the company's two primary business segments: Stock Broking and Real Estate. Total income from operations for the year stood at ₹2,020.49 crore, a decrease from ₹2,613.75 crore in the prior year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net profit of ₹61.24 crore on a total income of ₹521.07 crore.

Segment Results

The Real Estate segment remained the primary revenue driver, contributing ₹1,753.64 crore to the total income for FY26, though this was lower than the ₹2,308.99 crore recorded in FY25. The Stock Broking segment generated ₹266.85 crore in revenue for the year. Segment-wise, the Real Estate division reported a profit before tax of ₹386.15 crore for the year, while the Stock Broking segment posted a profit before tax of ₹167.36 crore.

Dividend Declaration

The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹1 per equity share of ₹10 each, representing a 10% payout. This dividend is subject to the approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The company's statutory auditors, M/s Diyali B and Associates, issued an audit report with an unmodified opinion on the standalone and consolidated financial results.

Financial Position

The company's total assets stood at ₹3,292.61 crore as of March 31, 2026, compared to ₹3,266.86 crore in the previous year. Shareholders' funds increased to ₹2,992.07 crore from ₹2,588.67 crore. Cash and cash equivalents decreased significantly to ₹35.00 crore from ₹280.03 crore at the end of FY25, largely due to net cash outflows from investing and financing activities.
