Milgrey Finance & Investments Ltd — a ghost from the 80s — once financed Bollywood film producers and now… just “invests in securities”. Despite near-zero revenues, near-zero RoE, and near-invisible profits, the stock has spiked 78% in a year and trades at a P/E of 395. What’s cooking? Probably nothing. But let’s pretend we’re SEBI for a moment.

But here’s the real drama:
- ₹0.32 Cr sales in FY24
- ₹0.63 Cr profit in FY25
- ₹249 Cr market cap
- 82% of promoter holding pledged or encumbered
- Stock up 273% from its ₹31 low
Sounds like the plot of Scam 1992 Season 2, doesn’t it?
