1. At a Glance – Mumbai’s Luxury Club with a Balance Sheet Hangover
Emerald Leisures Ltd is trading at ₹193 with a market cap of ₹290 crore. In the last three months, the stock has fallen about 9.6%. Over one year? Down roughly 10.6%. But zoom out three years and it’s up 90%. So yes — this stock behaves like a moody Bollywood protagonist.
Latest Q3 FY26 (Dec 2025 quarter) numbers:
Sales ₹4.70 crore.
Net loss ₹2.25 crore.
EPS ₹-1.50.
Operating margin 37.66%.
Debt ₹142 crore.
Interest coverage ratio: 0.24 (which is accountant language for “praying to the bank manager”).
EV/EBITDA stands at a jaw-dropping 83.2. Price-to-sales is 18.9. Book value is negative ₹54.1. ROCE 4.82%. Return on assets -13.9%.
This is a premium luxury sports club in Chembur, Mumbai. But financially? It’s running a spa for revenue and a sauna for losses.
Now the real question — is this a turnaround story… or just an expensive banquet hall with a stock ticker?
2. Introduction – A 1933 Company Still Trying to Make Money
Emerald Leisures was incorporated in 1933. Yes, before independence. Before RBI. Before most of our grandparents.
Originally known as Apte Amalgamations Ltd, today it operates a premium luxury sports club in Chembur, Mumbai — complete with swimming pool, spa, gym, banquet halls, hotel rooms, memberships, and now a shiny new real estate division.
Sounds glamorous, right?
But let’s remove the Instagram filter.
Revenue for FY25 was ₹15 crore. PAT for FY25? Negative ₹11 crore.
Latest nine-month loss for FY26? ₹7.92 crore.
The club business makes operating profits. But interest cost eats it alive.
In FY25, the company raised money via rights issue at ₹12.5 per share to repay borrowings. Later, it announced preferential warrants at ₹225 each worth ₹66.78 crore. Then withdrew them.
This company doesn’t just run banquets. It runs capital structure experiments.
The big pivot? Real estate redevelopment with Gala Group — 51% stake in SPV and ₹23.42 crore invested as of March 2025.
So here we are.
A hospitality company with a real estate dream.
A loss-making P&L with a ₹290 crore market cap.
You feeling adventurous yet?
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?

Emerald Leisures says: “Come to Chembur.”
