Hybrid Financial Services Ltd Q1 FY26: A Maximus Merger or Just Micro Profits?

Hybrid Financial Services Ltd Q1 FY26: A Maximus Merger or Just Micro Profits?

1. At a Glance

Hybrid Financial is like that quiet cousin in finance who never makes a scene — until you realize they’ve been consistently profitable, barely owe anything, and somehow merged with another company without anyone noticing. Q1 FY26 net profit: ₹0.74 Cr. Market cap: ₹48 Cr. That’s smaller than the marketing budget of a fintech ad campaign.


2. Introduction with Hook

If Motilal Oswal is the Wall Street Wolf, Hybrid Financial is the financial tortoise that stopped midway to sip chai.

This 1986-born firm has seen more economic cycles than your retired uncle and now deals in equipment leasing, merchant banking, tax advisory, and post-merger broking through Maximus Securities.

But Q1 FY26 results?
Revenue: ₹1.48 Cr | Net Profit: ₹0.74 Cr
Basically — a profitable neighborhood kirana store, but in a suit.


3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)

Hybrid Financial isn’t just financial — it’s all over the financial map:

  • Equipment leasing & hire purchase (old-school lending)
  • Merchant banking (IPO filing, advisory, etc.)
  • Financial, tax, legal, and corporate consultancy
  • Through Maximus Securities, now into:
    • Stock broking
    • Investment products
    • Depository services

So yeah… a one-stop finance shop — minus the neon lights and Fintech jargon.


4. Financials Overview

Q1 FY26 (Jun 2025):

MetricValueYoY Change
Revenue₹1.48 Cr+63% YoY
Operating Profit₹0.74 CrFlat
Net Profit₹0.74 CrFrom ₹1.34 Cr YoY
OPM50%Still fat
EPS₹0.25From ₹0.46

Commentary:
Revenues are up, but profit halved. Broking income likely volatile. Margins are chunky though — this company could teach new-age fintechs how to be lean.


5. Valuation

CMP: ₹16.4
P/E: 14x
Book Value: ₹13.3
P/B: 1.23x

Fair Value Range:

  • P/E Method: Assuming sustainable EPS of ₹1.10, 10–15x gives ₹11–₹16.5
  • P/B Method: Industry trades ~2x BV for niche players. Here, even 1.5x BV = ₹20.

Verdict: Stock seems fully priced for now. If Maximus merger truly kicks in, ₹20 isn’t far. If not… expect slow motion.


6. What’s Cooking – News, Triggers, Drama

  • Maximus Merger:
    Completed. Now a hybrid Hybrid. Expect stockbroking income to lift results eventually.
  • Zero Dividends:
    Despite steady profits, no love letter to shareholders yet.
  • Contingent Liabilities:
    Rs. 14.7 Cr — not a dealbreaker, but not peanuts either.
  • Court Refund Received (Jun 2024):
    Legal case settled in their favour. Probably why the cash flow graph isn’t a horror story.

7. Balance Sheet

ItemMar 2025 (₹ Cr)
Equity Capital14.72
Reserves24.48
Borrowings1.40
Total Assets49.87

Takeaways:

  • Almost debt-free.
  • Book value improved significantly.
  • Investments doubled over 2 years = bullish?

Honestly, it’s cleaner than most venture-funded cap tables.


8. Cash Flow – Sab Number Game Hai

YearCFOCFICFFNet CF
FY23₹0.00₹0.90₹–0.03₹0.86
FY24₹0.79₹1.51₹–0.03₹2.28
FY25₹–3.64₹1.65₹–0.73₹–2.71

Observations:

  • FY25 cash ops dipped (likely due to legal refund outflow).
  • Investing: steady.
  • Financing: negligible.
  • Net CF took a hit last year, but nothing panic-worthy.

9. Ratios – Sexy or Stressy?

RatioFY25
ROCE11.17%
ROE11.65%
P/E14.02x
OPM53.46%
D/E0.06

Commentary:

  • ROE of 11.6% is decent for a ₹48 Cr stock.
  • OPM of 53% is elite-tier — even SaaS bros will be jealous.
  • Valuation reasonable. Just needs a growth kicker.

10. P&L Breakdown – Show Me the Money

YearRevenue (Cr)EBITDA (Cr)PAT (Cr)
FY233.481.070.51
FY245.092.261.94
FY256.423.403.84

Comment:

  • Revenue nearly doubled in 2 years.
  • PAT up 7x in the same time.
  • Looks like the merger with Maximus has been silently doing zabardast things.

12. Miscellaneous – Shareholding, Promoters

CategoryJun 2025
Promoters64.01%
DIIs0.70%
Public35.28%
Shareholders54,165

Notes:

  • Promoter stake has been static for 12+ quarters.
  • Public holding stable.
  • Zero anchor drama, no dilution, no FPO hangover. Clean.

Also: no boardroom soap operas. Sanskaari scrip.


13. EduInvesting Verdictâ„¢

Hybrid Financial is what happens when a tiny financial firm decides to grow slowly, cleanly, and without throwing money at IPL ads. Add the Maximus merger, steady profits, fat margins, and zero debt — and you’ve got a microcap that could become a midcap… someday.

Definitely a hybrid. Not flashy. But quietly getting sh*t done.
