The full read
The call delivered a familiar number: ₹1,518 crore, up 37%. The fresh piece was the guidance: low double-digit revenue growth for FY27 and the caution. Management cited geopolitical tensions and input cost inflation for muted near-term visibility. That's the crux. A swelling order book and zero debt are positives. Yet trailing PAT fell 96% (screener basis), though Q1 showed ₹70 crore profit on ₹521 crore sales. If orders convert smoothly and input costs don't spike, the low double-digit guidance could prove conservative, but the caution suggests otherwise. This concall offered insight, not surprise.
