Are Kretto Syscon Ltd latest results good or bad?

Kretto Syscon Ltd's latest financial results for Q3 FY26 reveal significant operational challenges, marked by a complete cessation of revenue generation, with net sales reported at ₹0.00 Cr, a stark decline from ₹0.43 Cr in the previous quarter and ₹1.60 Cr in the same quarter last year. This represents a 100% decline both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, highlighting a critical revenue generation crisis for the company. Despite the absence of sales, Kretto Syscon managed to report a net profit of ₹0.09 Cr, down from ₹0.22 Cr in Q2 FY26, primarily supported by other income of ₹0.22 Cr. However, the operating profit before depreciation, interest, and tax (excluding other income) turned negative at ₹0.08 Cr, indicating that the core operations are not profitable without reliance on external income sources. The nine-month period ending December 2025 also reflects a substantial decline in performance, with net sales of ₹3.19 Cr compared to ₹8.46 Cr in the same period last year, marking a year-on-year decrease of 62.29%. Net profit for this period was ₹2.40 Cr, down 57.60% from ₹5.66 Cr in the previous year. The company’s heavy reliance on other income during this time has obscured the severity of its operational decline. Kretto Syscon's average return on equity (ROE) stands at a low 2.16%, indicating weak capital efficiency, and the return on capital employed (ROCE) averages 1.47%, both of which are significantly below acceptable thresholds for generating shareholder value. The company's balance sheet remains strong, with no debt, but the lack of revenue generation raises serious questions about its business model and sustainability. The overall financial performance suggests that Kretto Syscon is facing existential challenges, with a critical need to address its operational strategy and client engagement to reverse its current trajectory. The company has seen an adjustment in its evaluation, reflecting the ongoing concerns regarding its viability and operational effectiveness.
