QPOWER reported Q2 FY27 numbers with revenue of Rs. 2,725.28 Cr (+32.45% YoY) and PAT growth of +80.07% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.
| Results date | October 31, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Revenue (Q2) | Rs. 2,725.28 Cr (+32.45% YoY) |
| PAT (Q2) | Rs. 633.27 Cr (+80.07% YoY) |
| EBITDA margin | 28.62% (+607 bps YoY) |
| EPS (Q2) | Rs. 5.48 (+74.50% YoY) |
Q2 FY27 delivered revenue growth of 32.45% YoY and EBITDA growth of 70.28% YoY with margin up ~607 bps to 28.62%, running well ahead of management's own FY27 guidance of +20% revenue growth and 'high teens or around 20%' EBITDA margin. The order book surpassed Rs.2,000 Cr with visibility into FY2028, and new capacity (Sangli coil factory, Niğde PCS) plus the Winwin acquisition and Rs.700 Cr QIP are on stated timelines. The main caveat is cash conversion — H1 CFO/PAT of 0.064x on a deliberate Rs.103.20 Cr inventory build — while normalized PAT of Rs.60.17 Cr (+71.1% YoY) confirms the operating trend is real.
| Driver | Expected before results | What happened | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue vs the 20% FY27 checkpoint | "in line to ahead on the YoY checkpoint" — demand "no visible rollover" | +32.45% YoY; H1 +32.09% | Played out |
| Margins | "compressing at the Mehru line, broadly protected at the QP line" | Consolidated EBITDA margin ex-29 27.32% vs 28.3% Q1 ex-29 — broadly held; Mehru line not observable | Partially |
| Ind AS 29 item | "expect another non-cash Ind AS 29 net monetary loss (Q1: Rs.78.2 Mn)" | Filing records a net monetary gain of Rs.38.30 Mn — the filing wins; the discrepancy is noted | Contradicted |
| Aluminium pass-through | Q3 FY27 event; "Q2 margins should be largely insulated" | No Q2 margin blowup; gross ratio improved YoY | Played out |
| Watch: Sep-30 order book / ≥95% execution test | — | Board letter gives ">Rs.2,000 Cr" only — remains open for the call | Not addressed in the filing |
| Watch: Mehru margin vs ~18% guide | — | Entity margins not disclosed — remains open for the call | Not addressed in the filing |
| Watch: Ind AS 29 bridge | smaller charge expected | Gain of Rs.3.83 Cr disclosed | Answered |
| Watch: promoter bridge 9% cost in Q2 finance costs | post-quarter approval | Borrowings Rs.39.80 Cr vs Rs.35.48 Cr; finance costs Rs.2.93 Cr — no bridge cost yet | Partially answered |
