CWD targets ₹380-400 cr FY27 revenue, 160% jump from FY26
The micro-cap electronics firm also posted FY26 revenue of ₹145.8 crore, up 343%, and a new WMS order of 25,000 units with a 15,000-unit commitment.
What's new
- CWD issued its first explicit FY27 revenue guidance of ₹380-400 crore, 160-174% above FY26's ₹145.8 crore.
- FY26 revenue rose 343% to ₹145.8 crore; PAT jumped 391% to ₹12.3 crore.
- New order for 25,000 warehouse management system units with a commitment for 15,000 more (value undisclosed).
Why this matters
For a micro-cap with a ₹694 crore market cap and a trailing P/E of 56x, delivering on the guidance would require nearly tripling revenue while maintaining margins. The implied quarterly run-rate of ₹95-100 crore is 60% above the Q4 run-rate of ₹64.8 crore. Capacity expansion and the WMS order support the ambition, but execution at this scale is unproven.
What we're watching
- Q1 FY27 revenue to validate the growth trajectory.
- Delivery timelines and revenue recognition from the 25,000-unit WMS order.
- Gross margin trend as direct OEM sourcing ramps up.
The full read
CWD has laid out its most ambitious target yet: ₹380-400 crore in FY27 revenue, a 160-174% leap from the ₹145.8 crore it booked in FY26. The FY26 numbers themselves were striking—revenue up 343% and PAT up 391% to ₹12.3 crore—but the guidance shifts the focus to whether a micro-cap can sustain that pace. A new order for 25,000 warehouse management system units with a commitment for 15,000 more (no value given) and a tripling of daily soundbox capacity to 15,000 units provide the tactical foundation. The manufacturing footprint has expanded 3.7x to 55,000 sq ft, and direct OEM sourcing is expected to help margins. For a stock trading at 56x FY26 earnings, the implied forward P/E of about 21x (if margins hold) looks reasonable on paper. But the quarterly run-rate must jump from about ₹64.8 crore in Q4 FY26 to ₹95-100 crore in FY27. The first quarter of the new year will tell whether this is a trajectory or a stretch.
