City Pulse Multiventures Ltd has announced that its Board of Directors will meet on Saturday, 7th March 2026, to review key corporate actions aimed at enhancing shareholder value. The agenda includes considering the issuance of bonus shares and a sub-division (split) of the company’s equity shares. 

These measures, if approved, are likely to improve liquidity, broaden the investor base, and make the stock more attractive to retail investors, drawing attention to this small-cap company in the market.

City Pulse Multiventures Limited operates as a cultural and entertainment complex offering multiple cinema formats powered by its proprietary WOW Cine Pulse technology. The company was earlier known as City Pulse Multiplex Limited and officially rebranded to its current name in November 2024. Incorporated in 2000, the company is headquartered in Ahmedabad, India.

A return on equity (ROE) of about 1.48 percent, a return on capital employed (ROCE) of about 1.66 percent and debt to equity ratio of 0.04 demonstrate the company’s financial position. 

City Pulse Multiventures Limited reported revenue of Rs. 1.48 crore in Q3FY26, reflecting a 25.4 percent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) growth compared to Rs. 1.18 crore in Q2FY26. However, on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, revenue declined by 8.1 percent from Rs. 1.61 crore in Q3FY25, indicating some moderation in topline performance despite sequential improvement.

At the operating level, EBITDA stood at Rs. 1.20 crore in Q3FY26, registering a strong 51.9 percent QoQ growth from Rs. 0.79 crore in Q2FY26 and a robust 64.4 percent YoY rise from Rs. 0.73 crore in Q3FY25. The sharp improvement in EBITDA suggests better cost efficiency and operational performance during the quarter.

Profit after tax came in at Rs. 0.75 crore in Q3FY26, up 70.5 percent QoQ from Rs. 0.44 crore and 29.3 percent YoY from Rs. 0.58 crore. The strong bottom-line growth, both sequentially and annually, indicates improved margins and operational leverage despite the slight YoY dip in revenue.
