Current Price: ~96.60 | RSI: 50.17 Dividend & Corporate Actions No cash dividend, bonus shares, or right shares were declared for the year. The company has approved loans of up to Rs. 2,000 million each to Kohinoor Textile Mills (holding company) and Maple Leaf Capital (associated company) for working capital requirements. AGM is scheduled for September 17, 2026, with book closure from September 11 to September 17. Consolidated Performance On a consolidated basis, the numbers look solid: Revenue grew 24% to Rs. 85.15 billion, up from Rs. 68.65 billion last year. Gross profit increased 24% to Rs. 31.61 billion. Operating profit rose 29% to Rs. 24.59 billion. Profit after tax stood at Rs. 12.56 billion, up 9% from last year. EPS came in at Rs. 11.34, compared to Rs. 10.98 previously. The consolidated picture is healthy, reflecting strong operational performance across the group. Standalone Reality Check However, the standalone numbers tell a different story: Revenue grew only 2.6% to Rs. 70.73 billion. Gross profit was largely flat at Rs. 23.94 billion. Operating profit declined nearly 22% to Rs. 18.88 billion. Profit after tax fell sharply by 50% to Rs. 8.45 billion from Rs. 17.04 billion last year. EPS dropped to Rs. 8.06 from Rs. 16.26. The sharp decline is primarily due to: lower dividend and other income (Rs. 1.63 billion vs Rs. 8.40 billion last year) and significantly higher finance costs. Technical Snapshot Price: ~96.60 | RSI: 50.17 (neutral) Key Support: 92.00–94.00 | Key Resistance: 100.00–102.00 Volume at 6.38 million shares reflects healthy market participation. The stock has been consolidating after a pullback, and RSI suggests momentum is balanced – neither overbought nor oversold. A sustained move above 100 with volume could target 110–112, while a break below 92 would signal weakness. Verdict MLCF presents a mixed picture: On the positive side: Consolidated revenue and profit growth are strong, operational performance is improving, and the group structure is contributing meaningfully to earnings.
