Synopsis: Media Matrix Worldwide Limited (MMWL) reported a strong net profit of ₹5.85 crore for FY26, reflecting a 67.5% increase from the previous year, despite a 33.4% drop in revenues. In a strategic move, the company voluntarily surrendered its NBFC license to operate as an Unregistered Core Investment Company.
MMWL’s FY26 results show a focus on profitability over growth. Revenue decreased significantly to ₹1,256.95 crore, down from ₹1,887.02 crore in FY25, while net profit attributable to owners increased by 67.5%.
The top-line dip primarily reflects a pullback in electronic product trading volumes within its subsidiary, nexG Devices Private Limited. However, aggressive cost-cutting measures, which saw operating expenses slashed by over ₹630 crore, successfully cushioned the bottom line.
| Metric | FY26 | FY25 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹1,256.95 Cr | ₹1,887.02 Cr | -33.40% |
| EBITDA | ₹9.98 Cr | ₹7.72 Cr | 0.293 |
| Net Profit | ₹5.85 Cr | ₹3.49 Cr | 0.675 |
| Total Comprehensive | (₹34.06 Cr) | (₹12.04 Cr) | - |
The key event is MMWL’s voluntary surrender of its Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) Certificate of Registration on April 15, 2026. The company stated it no longer meets the RBI’s “Principal Business Criteria,” as its financial income does not exceed 50% of its gross income. Instead, MMWL has shifted to an Unregistered Core Investment Company (CIC). With over 90% of its assets invested in group companies and no outside liabilities, this change allows the company to act mainly as a holding entity for its subsidiaries without the regulatory burden of an NBFC.
Even with the increase in net profit, the group reported a Total Comprehensive Loss of ₹34.06 crore for the year. This loss was caused by a ₹42.08 crore fair-value decline in investments held by a subsidiary. Although this is a non-cash charge that does not affect operational profit, it compresses the group’s total equity.
The company also recognized a one-time charge of ₹35.36 Lakhs for past service costs due to new Labour Codes. With a market cap of ₹1,213.17 crore, shares of Media Matrix Worldwide Ltd rose 1.61% to trade at ₹10.71 during the morning session on April 16, 2026. The stock opened at ₹10.61 and reached an intraday high of ₹11.00, maintaining a positive bias above its VWAP of ₹10.82.
Despite a trailing P/E of 102.29 (Consolidated), investor interest remains supported by high delivery percentages (66.34%). The stock is currently trading well above its 52-week low of ₹7.86, though it remains significantly below its yearly high of ₹18.54.
