HERCULES HOISTS LTD.

Hercules Investments Ltd has announced the closure of its trading window for designated persons from October 01, 2026. This closure is in accordance with the company's "Code of Conduct to regulate, monitor and report trading by insiders." The trading window will reopen 48 hours after the announcement of the unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ending September 30, 2026. The date of the board meeting to approve these results will be communicated separately. The company was formerly known as Hercules Hoists Limited.

Hercules Investments Ltd held its 64th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on August 13, 2026, conducted via Video Conference. Key resolutions passed include the re-appointment of Shri Hariprasad Nevatia as Whole-time Director effective November 22, 2026, and the re-appointment of Shri Shekhar Bajaj as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. The AGM also approved the adoption of audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and declared a final dividend of ₹2.50 per equity share. Other businesses transacted involved approving material related party transactions and loans/guarantees up to ₹100 Crores.

Hercules Investments Ltd announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the results following a recommendation from the Audit Committee. The company operates in a single segment, managing investments in Bajaj Group Companies. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and reviewed by Kanu Doshi Associates LLP.

Hercules Investments Limited (formerly Hercules Hoists), now operating as an unregistered Core Investment Company (CIC) holding a portfolio of Bajaj Group stakes, reported standalone Q1 FY27 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) revenue of ₹0.42 Cr (₹41.93 Lakh) and net profit of ₹0.12 Cr (₹11.70 Lakh), against a loss of ₹0.08 Cr in Q4 FY26 and a loss of ₹0.008 Cr in Q1 FY26 — a turnaround both sequentially and year-on-year. Net profit margin swung from -24.7% (QoQ) and -4.5% (YoY) to +27.9% this quarter. Given the negative base in both comparison quarters, percentage YoY/QoQ PAT growth is not meaningful; the more useful read is the sign flip itself. Revenue (income from the investment portfolio, not operating sales in the traditional sense) rose 144% YoY from ₹0.17 Cr and 42% QoQ from ₹0.29 Cr, though at this scale small absolute swings produce large percentage moves and shouldn't be read as an operating trend. The swing to profit came entirely from higher portfolio income against a largely fixed cost base (₹0.22 Cr total expenses, in line with the ₹0.13-0.30 Cr range of the last three quarters); tax of ₹0.09 Cr — all deferred, no current tax — took the effective rate to about 42% on a ₹0.20 Cr pre-tax profit. Basic and diluted EPS was ₹0.04 (not annualised) versus ₹(0.03) in Q4 FY26 and ₹(0.00) in Q1 FY26. There is no analyst/street coverage identified for this micro-cap CIC (a web search for Q1 FY27 previews and consensus estimates for Hercules Investments/Hercules Hoists returned no brokerage estimates), so vsStreet is unknown; likewise the company and our records carry no formal prior guidance, so vsGuidance is unknown by default rather than a miss. Far more material than the reported P&L is other comprehensive income: fair-value gains on the Bajaj Group equity portfolio (net of deferred tax) added ₹96.82 Cr this quarter, taking total comprehensive income to ₹96.94 Cr, versus a ₹148.87 Cr OCI loss in Q4 FY26 and a ₹95.26 Cr OCI gain in Q1 FY26 — these mark-to-market swings, not the operating P&L, are what actually move the company's book value quarter to quarter. The Board approved these results alongside the 64th AGM held the same day (August 13, 2026); the company had earlier fixed August 6 as the record date for a ₹2.50 final FY26 dividend and filed its FY26 BRSR report on July 14, 2026 — routine governance items with no direct bearing on this quarter's numbers. No management press release with forward commentary accompanied the filing.

Hercules Investments Ltd has announced that its Board of Directors will convene on August 13, 2026.

Additionally, the company has closed its trading window for directors, officers, and designated employees from July 1, 2026, until 48 hours after the announcement of the financial results, in compliance with SEBI regulations.
