EPS (Q2)Rs. 35.13 (+10.60% YoY)

Quarter Snapshot

Consolidated revenue grew 62.1% YoY to Rs.1,648.2 cr, but growth was predominantly inorganic from the Antolin acquisition and expenses outpaced revenue, with EBITDA margin falling for a fifth straight quarter to 17.93% — at the bottom of management's guided 'high teens' band. The balance sheet was transformed via a Rs.1,000 cr QIP and Rs.624.3 cr of debt reduction, leaving the company in a net cash position with debt-equity at 0.29x. Key watch items for the November 2, 2026 call are evidence of the promised commodity and wage-cost recovery, Antolin's path to mid-teens margins, and the export trajectory.
