After 2:1 Bonus Shares, Penny Stock Under Rs 10 Locked In 5% Upper Circuit On Declaring Q4 & FY25 Results

With a market value of Rs 278.64 Cr on June 19, Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd.'s shares got stuck in a 5% upper circuit limit on Thursday at Rs 8.16 per share on the BSE. This followed Vantage Knowledge Academy's financial results for the fourth quarter of FY25 and the entire year, as well as another significant move to redefine the field of professional education-this time in cybersecurity and digital risk-as the company has partnered with Cyber Skillsphere Pvt Ltd, a top cybersecurity, digital forensics, and artificial intelligence firm.

According to this Memorandum of Understanding, Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd. will use its in-house LMS platform, www.vantagepro.app, to oversee digital infrastructure, student onboarding, national outreach, certification, and academic delivery. Additionally, it will create professional groups for cybersecurity and plan industry gatherings around India. To guarantee real-world experience, internships, and placement possibilities, Cyber Skillsphere Pvt Ltd will take responsibility for participating in program design, training delivery by subject-matter experts, and industry partnerships.

On June 16, Vantage Knowledge Academy released its financial results for both the entire fiscal year and the fourth quarter of FY25. Revenue for the firm fell sharply to Rs 0.80 crore, an enormous drop of over 60% from Rs 2.01 crore in Q4 FY24. After making a net profit of Rs 0.19 crore in Q4 FY24, the firm saw a net loss of Rs 1.06 crore in the quarter that ended in March 2025. It was a terrible quarter, with profit before tax at a negative Rs 1.43 crore. After reporting earnings per share (EPS) of Rs 0.55 in Q4 FY24, the business posted a loss per share of Rs 0.03.

The company's total revenue for the FY25 full year (which concluded on March 31, 2025) dropped approximately 13% to Rs 3.49 crore from Rs 4.32 to Rs 4.73 crore in FY24. Nevertheless, the company achieved a net profit of Rs 0.75, which was around 45.65% less than the Rs 1.38 crore recorded in FY24. Vantage had a challenging fourth quarter, with a steep drop in both the front and bottom lines due to lower revenues and negative operating efficiency.

Vantage Knowledge Academy awarded its shareholders a substantial bonus issue in March 2025, allocating two bonus shares for each share held in a 2:1 ratio. The bonus shares were credited to demat accounts on March 6, 2025, with the record date for identifying eligible shareholders being March 5, 2025. On March 7, 2025, these shares became tradable. The company's paid-up share capital also expanded greatly as a result of this corporate operation.
