City Pulse Multiventures Q1 Net Profit Drops 38.5% YoY to ₹33.59 Lacs

🔴 NEGATIVE ⭐ 6/10

EARNINGS 📅 13 Aug 2026, 04:17 PM

City Pulse Multiventures reported a weak set of results for Q1 FY27, with consolidated net profit declining 38.5% YoY to ₹33.59 Lacs from ₹54.58 Lacs. Revenue from operations remained stagnant, falling marginally by 1.5% YoY to ₹1.12 Cr. The primary drag on profitability was a 254% surge in 'Other Expenses,' which rose to ₹42.06 Lacs. Given the company's high P/E of 97.3 and a market cap of ₹352 Cr, the current quarterly revenue scale of ~₹1.12 Cr appears extremely low relative to its valuation.

Consolidated Net Profit fell to ₹33.59 Lacs in Q1 FY27 compared to ₹54.58 Lacs in Q1 FY26
Revenue from operations stood at ₹1.12 Cr, down from ₹1.14 Cr in the same quarter last year
Other expenses surged significantly to ₹42.06 Lacs from ₹11.87 Lacs YoY
Earnings Per Share (EPS) declined to ₹0.32 from ₹0.51 YoY
Total consolidated expenses increased by 66.7% YoY to ₹66.51 Lacs

💡 Investors should monitor the revenue contribution from the recently acquired Matrubharti Technologies (₹153 Cr deal) and the scaling of the WOWPLEX OTT platform to see if they can justify the current high valuation.
