Quarter read
What the record says.
Gretex Corporate Services reported Q3 FY26 EBITDA of 12.3 cr and PAT of 6.9 cr, with EBITDA margin of 22.4%. The sequential improvement was driven by strong execution in merchant banking and market making. Management guided for a full-year PAT margin of 40-45% in FY26, supported by a robust pipeline of 20 active IPOs (14 SME, 6 mainboard) and 26 market making mandates. The company is shifting focus toward mainboard IPOs to reduce inventory risk. A SEBI penalty of ₹50 lakh was paid with no operational ban. Key risk: SME IPO market slowdown could pressure listing volumes and fee income.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects consolidated PAT margin to reach 40-45% in FY26, driven by higher listing activity in Q4.
- Three companies already approved and four more expected by month-end; all expected to list within Q4.
- Gradual reduction in SME IPO mandates to lower inventory risk; increasing mainboard IPO execution.
Risks flagged
- Management acknowledged that market sentiment is weak and SME listing volumes may decline vs last year.
- A ₹50 lakh penalty was imposed by SEBI; though management says it's final, regulatory risk remains.
- Analyst raised concern about potential conflict between AIF investments and Gretex's merchant banking clients.
- Management confirmed that mainboard IPOs have longer execution cycles, leading to uneven revenue recognition.
Key quotes
- We are expecting 40 to 45% margin considering all four quarters put together.
- Gradually we are going to decrease the SME IPOs and focusing on the main boards.
- This is the right decision which SEBI has taken and only limited people should come then only this industry can do best performance.
