Jhaveri Credits & Capital Ltd Q2 FY26 – The Broking Dinosaur Learns Solar Yoga While P/E Skyrockets to 73x
1. At a Glance
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jhaveri Credits & Capital Ltd — a company that’s part broking veteran, part finance wannabe, and now suddenly a renewable energy visionary. Founded in 1993, Jhaveri Credits has seen more market cycles than your favorite astrologer has seen moon phases. As of 10th December 2025, the stock trades at ₹203, giving it a market cap of ₹182 crore, down 10% in the last three months. Despite the slide, the company proudly flaunts a P/E of 73.5x, because apparently optimism is free.
The latest quarterly sales (Sep 2025) stood at ₹22.36 crore, up a mind-blowing 300% YoY, while PAT clocked in at ₹1.23 crore, down 12% sequentially. Their ROCE sits at 3.19% and ROE at 2.78%, numbers so humble they’d make Gandhi proud. Debt? None. Dividends? Also none. Promoter holding? 50.4%, after a few rounds of musical chairs involving new owners, open offers, and preferential issues.
This is the story of a small-cap finance player that used to dabble in commodities, then turned financial advisor, then solar entrepreneur — and still somehow remains on the BSE with a ₹182 crore market cap. Buckle up; this ride moves between broking terminals and solar panels faster than Sensex moves on Budget Day.
2. Introduction
If Jhaveri Credits had a motto, it would probably be: “When in doubt, change your business model.” Starting life as a humble commodity broker in the 90s, the company decided that being just a member of the MCX and NSEL wasn’t spicy enough. So they gave up their Self-Clearing Membership in March 2023 and pivoted to a new buzzword: “Financial Advisory and Investments.”
But wait, plot twist — in December 2023, they updated their Memorandum of Association to include manufacturing of solar panels, inverters, cables, lights, fans, and even personal care products. Yes, personal care. Jhaveri Credits might soon sell you both a mutual fund SIP and a ceiling fan under the same brand umbrella.
By January 2024, they expanded their authorised share capital from ₹10 crore to ₹15 crore, issued 25.29 lakh equity shares, and even rolled out 5 lakh convertible warrants. Because what’s better than a little dilution when you’re reinventing yourself every six months?
The company now stands at a crossroad — part finance, part renewables, part confusion — yet somehow the market gives it a valuation fit for a fintech unicorn.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Explaining Jhaveri Credits’ business is like explaining multiverse theory to a toddler — everything exists somewhere, but nothing is clear.
Originally, the company was a commodity and equity broker, handling trades across spot and futures markets. But after surrendering its membership, it transitioned into a finance and investment advisory role. The menu now includes:
Equity Investing & Mutual Funds – Old school trading, with a fancy advisory spin.
Margin Trading Facility & Stock SIPs – Because leverage makes life exciting.
Portfolio Advisory, Debt Securities & PMS – For clients who enjoy complex jargon.
Loan Against Shares & Securities Lending – Just in case you need to pledge your portfolio to survive the next crash.
But the real head-turner came in 2023–24. The company suddenly added renewable energy manufacturing and construction to its objects. It’s like your CA deciding to open a cloud kitchen because he “likes numbers and noodles.”
So now, Jhaveri Credits is part financial intermediary, part solar startup, and part mystery novel. Will the new ventures power up profits, or just add more watts to the confusion? Only the next quarterly result knows.

Annualised EPS = ₹1.37 × 4 = ₹5.48 At ₹203 per share, the P/E = 37x (based on annualised), but reported trailing P/E is 73.5x due to fluctuating past profits.
Commentary: Revenue tripled, EBITDA margins softened, and PAT stayed in the “polite but underwhelming” range. Clearly, Jhaveri has mastered the art of growing top line without making shareholders rich — a classic Indian small-cap trait.
5. Valuation Discussion – Fair Value Range (Educational Only)
Method 1: P/E Based
Annualised EPS: ₹5.48
Industry P/E (Financial Services): 29x
Fair value range: ₹5.48 × (25–35) = ₹137 – ₹192
Method 2: EV/EBITDA
EV = ₹178 crore, EBITDA (TTM) = ₹3.6 crore
EV/EBITDA = 49x (very high) If sector average is 20–25x, fair EV = ₹72–₹90 crore → Fair price range ≈ ₹145 – ₹180
Method 3: DCF (Simplified) Assume FCF grows 10% for 5 years from ₹2 crore base, discount at 12%. Fair equity value ≈ ₹160–₹190 crore → ₹175 per share (approx)
