Kellton Tech: ₹227 Cr PAT, One AI Platform, and 1,86,861 Curious Shareholders – Still Not Paying Dividends, Bro

1. At a Glance

Kellton Tech is doing everything — digital transformation, ERP, AI, cloud, maybe even your Zoom background — except one thing: paying dividends. With Q1 FY26 revenue up 12.8% YoY, PAT of ₹22.65 Cr, and a shiny new AI platform announcement, Kellton is flexing growth while keeping its P/E under 15. But don’t let the ₹25 stock price fool you — there’s drama under the hood.

2. Introduction

Once upon a tech boom, Kellton was the IT whisperer that nobody whispered about. Quietly growing under the radar, the company built a ₹1,223 Cr market cap and a loyal user base across India, the US, and Europe — while reporting steady profits and skipping dividends like it’s a cardio workout.

Now, with ~1,800 employees and quarterly sales approaching ₹300 Cr, Kellton is finding its AI legs in FY26. A stock split (1:5), FCCBs worth $10M, and three new client wins later — the company is signalling it’s ready for prime time. Or at least a rerun.

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

Kellton is your friendly neighbourhood IT services firm — but instead of Spider-Man, they’ve got cloud engineers and ERP consultants. They offer:

  • Agile development
  • Digital integration & modernization
  • Enterprise mobility
  • Testing & automation
  • Cloud, AI, ML, Blockchain (aka tech buzzword soup)

Think of them as the IT version of a Swiss Army knife… if half the blades were under maintenance but still sharp enough to land Fortune 500 contracts. Their global presence? India, US, Europe, Asia-Pacific. Their superpower? Building platforms, integrating systems, and not mailing dividend cheques.

4. Financials Overview

Q1 FY26 Report Card:

  • Revenue: ₹295.47 Cr (+12.8% YoY)
  • PAT: ₹22.65 Cr (+13.6% YoY)
  • TTM Revenue: ₹1,131 Cr
  • TTM PAT: ₹82 Cr
  • Latest EPS: ₹0.46 → Annualized ~₹1.84
  • Recalculated P/E: ₹25.1 / ₹1.84 ≈ 13.6x

Margins? Holding steady. OPM

back to 12% after post-Covid fluctuations. And yet, sales growth over 5 years is a modest 7.3% CAGR — clearly, someone took “slow and steady” way too literally.

  • New AI platformlaunched – not just consulting anymore
  • Promoter holding droppedfrom 52% to 40% in 1 year 🧐
  • Three new clientsadded in Q1FY26 = signs of biz dev life

Is this the beginning of Kellton 2.0? Or a growth story sponsored by FCCB coupons and press releases?
