Multi Comm. Exc. (534091) May 2025 Filing Analysis
Does management do what it says?
The company confirms adherence to the 51% public shareholding requirement. (2 met across 2 tracked commitments)
“Exchange to ensure 51 per cent of shareholding is held by the public at all times”
H1 FY26 Information technology and related expenses were Rs 46.91 Cr. This puts the exchange on track to meet the lower end of its FY26 guidance of Rs 90-110 Cr. (2 in progress across 2 tracked commitments)
“Yes. I think, Harsh, this number -- the numbers would be around these levels. [Context: tech cost will be around INR 90 crores, let's say, INR- 100 crores, INR 110 crores]”
Management admitted that margins (and by extension expense ratios) are under pressure due to higher employee and SGF expenses in Q1, and they will not 'tighten the belt' during this growth phase. (1 revised, 4 in progress across 5 tracked commitments)
“We won't be able to call out a specific number, but I can tell you, overall, at an expense level, we expect our ratios to stay flat.”
