eMudhra Q1 FY26: Digital Signatures, Real Profits, and an Identity Crisis in Austria

eMudhra Q1 FY26: Digital Signatures, Real Profits, and an Identity Crisis in Austria

1. At a Glance

eMudhra is cooking up cybersecurity certificates faster than your bank OTPs can expire. With Q1 FY26 revenue up 58.5% YoY and PAT at ₹25 Cr, they’ve also bagged two international acquisitions in the last 30 minutes—because, why not?

The only signature they don’t support? Writing off losses. This one’s profitable and expanding globally like a caffeinated Excel sheet.


2. Introduction with Hook

Imagine if DocuSign went to IIT, married an IT Act clause, and then had twins named “Enterprise PKI” and “Zero Trust.”

That’s eMudhra.

  • Q1 FY26 Revenue: ₹150.6 Cr
  • Q1 Net Profit: ₹25 Cr
  • Global Expansion: Signed deals in Austria (Cryptas) and USA (AI Cyber Forge) faster than most people sign NDAs.

Basically, it’s not just signing certificates—it’s signing borderless deals with a keyboard and a cape.


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

eMudhra makes digital signatures sexy. Sort of.

Two pillars:

  1. Enterprise Solutions (77%)
    • Cyber Security: CertiNext, emCA, SecurePass—big words, bigger invoices.
    • Identity & Access: Helping corporates sleep at night while their servers don’t get pwned.
  2. Digital Trust Services (23%)
    • Basically, the official digital notary of the internet.

So yeah, they sell trust. Literally. Like a crypto project—except this one’s audited.


4. Financials Overview

MetricQ1 FY26YoY Growth
Revenue₹150.6 Cr+58.5%
Net Profit₹25 Cr+39%
EBITDA₹35 Cr~Flat
OPM24%Decent margin zone

Commentary:
Solid growth. Margins holding. No funny business. Just good old digital paperwork with a side of acquisitions.


5. Valuation

CMP: ₹816
Market Cap: ₹6,764 Cr
Fair Value Range: ₹700 – ₹900

Method 1: P/E Multiple

  • EPS TTM = ₹11
  • Sector P/E: ~35x
  • FV = 11 x 35 = ₹385 (LOL no thanks, it’s growing faster)
  • Adjusted for growth (50% YoY rev): 60x = ₹660

Method 2: PEG Valuation

  • Growth rate: 38%
  • PEG = 1 → P/E = 38 → FV = ₹418
  • But wait: it’s already trading at 74x → Overvalued? Or just cloud-confident?

Verdict: Valuation is like their encryption—hard to break unless you have the keys (aka future deal flow).


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

  • Cryptas Austria (51%) acquired: Adds EU cybersecurity pedigree.
  • AI Cyber Forge (USA): For $4.8M. Because AI + Cybersecurity = buzzword bingo.
  • Debt-free now: CFO just deleted the loan Excel tab.
  • Revenue up 58%: If you’re not impressed, your firewall probably blocked good news too.

This quarter’s had more action than an Avengers sequel. With less CGI.


7. Balance Sheet

MetricFY25
Equity Capital₹41 Cr
Reserves₹705 Cr
Borrowings₹0 Cr
Total Liabilities₹868 Cr
Net Worth₹746 Cr
Cash & Investments₹80 Cr+

Key Take:
Company has more reserves than your CA’s WhatsApp backup. Clean, cash-positive, and free of debt hangovers.


8. Cash Flow – Sab Number Game Hai

FYCFOCFICFFNet Cash
FY23₹34 Cr₹-102 Cr₹127 Cr₹59 Cr
FY24₹73 Cr₹-90 Cr₹176 Cr₹158 Cr
FY25₹102 Cr₹-204 Cr₹-21 Cr₹-124 Cr

They spent big on assets in FY25. Probably signing deals on Bluetooth scanners and Swiss-hosted servers.


9. Ratios – Sexy or Stressy?

RatioFY25
ROE12.1%
ROCE15.3%
OPM24%
D/E0.00
P/E73.8x

Valuation’s on the premium side—like buying antivirus for a Chromebook. But returns are healthy, and margins mean business.


10. P&L Breakdown – Show Me the Money

FYRevenueEBITDAPAT
FY23₹249 Cr₹87 Cr₹61 Cr
FY24₹373 Cr₹110 Cr₹76 Cr
FY25₹519 Cr₹124 Cr₹87 Cr

This is what a clean P&L looks like. Three years of consistent jumps without a single “exceptional item” to hide behind.


11. Peer Comparison

CompanyRevenue (Cr)PAT (Cr)P/EROE
LTTS11,0741,2653622.1%
Tata Tech5,1446854219.9%
Netweb Tech1,1491149724.0%
eMudhra574947412.1%

High growth, smaller base. Think of it as the nerdy younger cousin—less muscle, but 5x caffeine and zero liabilities.


12. Miscellaneous – Shareholding, Promoters

HolderMar ’24Jun ’25
Promoters54.40%54.40%
FIIs4.23%4.20%
DIIs15.98%16.01%
Public23.60%23.76%

Stable hands all around. Promoters steady, DIIs inching up, and retail holding the rest—presumably after reading a few LinkedIn cybersecurity posts.


13. EduInvesting Verdict™

eMudhra is digitizing trust like a caffeinated legal clerk with a blockchain fetish. Profitable, expanding, and clean as a CBI-audited WhatsApp group.

Valuation may be rich, but fundamentals are richer. It’s not hype—just plain hardcoded growth.

A solid firewall of fundamentals. Just don’t expect early-stage unicorn thrills.
