Q1 Net Profit at ₹5.95 Lakhs, down 60% YoY; recovers from previous quarter loss
Modern Shares & Stockbrokers reported a net profit of ₹5.95 Lakhs for Q1 FY27, a 60% decline compared to ₹14.90 Lakhs in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations fell 12.5% YoY to ₹86.71 Lakhs, primarily driven by a drop in brokerage and commission income. Despite the YoY decline, the company returned to profitability after a loss of ₹6.20 Lakhs in the preceding March 2026 quarter. The company remains engaged in a long-standing legal dispute with Bata India Limited over property mesne profits, currently pending in the Bombay High Court.

Why it mattersFor a micro-cap company with a ₹10 Cr market cap, small fluctuations in operational income and legal outcomes can significantly impact the thin profit margins.

Asian Petroproducts calls EGM to issue shares, convert Rs 9.6 Cr debt; expands equity base
Asian Petroproducts has issued an EGM notice for November 6, 2026, seeking shareholder approval for a major preferential issuance. The plan includes issuing up to 96,00,000 equity shares at Rs 10 per share (aggregating to Rs 9.60 crore) to promoters for conversion of existing unsecured loans. Additionally, the company plans to issue shares to public allottees and 1,00,00,000 convertible warrants, expanding its total share capital from 2.46 crore shares to 4.82 crore shares on a fully diluted basis. If fully converted, promoter holding will increase from 56.86% to 69.70%.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company has proposed converting Rs 9.6 crore of promoter unsecured debt into equity and issuing additional shares and warrants, nearly doubling the share capital.

📅 Short termMarket may react to significant equity dilution balanced against balance sheet de-leveraging via debt-to-equity swap ahead of the November 6, 2026 EGM.
📈 Long termCleans up promoter debt and increases promoter skin-in-the-game to 69.70%, though EPS will see substantial dilution going forward.

Infollion Research Services reported its highest half-yearly revenue from operations at ₹59.04 crore for H1 FY27, up 15.6% YoY and 19.9% HoH. However, PAT declined 7.7% YoY to ₹6.74 crore, impacted by a 26.1% surge in employee expenses and higher other expenses tied to global expansion and new initiatives. Operating cash flow stood low at ₹1.30 crore due to a ₹7.08 crore increase in trade receivables, taking DSO to 79 days. The company remains debt-free with cash and equivalents of ₹43.12 crore and committed ₹1.20 crore for a 19% stake in Thermium Private Limited.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedInfollion published its detailed management commentary and unaudited financial results for H1 FY26-27.

📅 Short termMarket is likely to weigh the record top-line performance against compressed operating margins and weak cash conversion.
📈 Long termExpansion into European markets, scaling the Huksa L&D business, and technical advisory through Thermium could diversify revenues beyond traditional expert calls if executed profitably.
⚠ Risk flags
- Receivables surge to ₹25.45 crore leading to poor cash flow conversion (OCF ₹1.30 crore vs PAT ₹6.74 crore)
- Margin dilution from higher fixed overheads (employee costs up 26.1% YoY)
- Macro demand risks given historical client concentration
Key Highlights
Revenue from operations rose 15.6% YoY to ₹59.04 crore, total income was ₹60.21 crore
PAT declined 7.7% YoY to ₹6.74 crore (or down 2.2% adjusting for prior period items), while EBITDA margin contracted from 16.5% to 12.8%
Operating cash flow dropped to ₹1.30 crore vs PAT of ₹6.74 crore due to receivables rising to ₹25.45 crore
Cash and cash equivalents stood at ₹43.12 crore with zero debt as of September 30, 2026
Committed strategic investment of ₹1.20 crore for a 19% stake in Thermium Private Limited

Supreme Court Dismisses Yes Bank Appeals; Sets Aside ₹8,415 Cr AT1 Bond Write-Down
The Supreme Court of India has upheld the Bombay High Court's ruling setting aside the write-down of Additional Tier-1 (AT1) bonds aggregating to ₹8,415 crore undertaken in March 2020. The apex court dismissed appeals filed by Yes Bank, the RBI, and the Union of India, mandating that annual coupon payments must be made per the Information Memoranda. Yes Bank estimates the pro-forma reinstatement of the AT1 bond principal will impact its Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio by ~250 bps based on June 30, 2026 figures, while the pro-forma Tier 1 ratio will remain unchanged at 14.0%. The ₹8,415 crore bond liability represents approximately 16.5% of Yes Bank's net worth of ₹51,062 crore.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court ruling, reversing the March 2020 decision to write down ₹8,415 crore in AT1 bonds and restoring the liability to the bank's books.
Why it mattersReinstating the ₹8,415 crore bonds will depress the core CET1 ratio by ~250 bps and creates significant cash flow liabilities for servicing pending and future coupon payments.
AT1 Bonds Principal Amount: ₹8,415 croreAT1 Amount vs Net Worth: ~16.5%CET1 Ratio Pro-forma Impact: ~250 bpsPro-forma Tier 1 Ratio: 14.0%Date of Order: 15 October 2026
📅 Short termNegative sentiment is likely to weigh on the stock as markets price in coupon repayment liabilities and regulatory capital dilution.
📈 Long termThe bank will face higher funding costs and lower CET1 capital headroom, potentially accelerating the need for equity dilution or subordinated capital raises to support credit expansion.
⚠ Risk flags
- Erosion of ~250 bps in core CET1 capital adequacy
- Cash outflow risk from backdated and recurring coupon payments on ₹8,415 crore bonds
- Potential equity dilution if the bank decides to raise equity capital to rebuild CET1 buffers
Key Highlights
Supreme Court dismissed appeals against Bombay HC order, invalidating the ₹8,415 crore AT1 bond write-down
Estimated ~250 bps negative pro-forma hit to CET1 ratio (including profits) as of June 30, 2026
Overall Tier 1 capital ratio on a pro-forma basis remains unimpacted at 14.0%
Court ordered annual coupon payments to be maintained as per the Information Memoranda
👀 What to Watch
Track subsequent disclosures on the exact accounting treatment, potential interest payout obligations on accumulated coupons, and any fresh capital-raising plans to offset the CET1 depletion.
