What's new

Revenue grew 8.5% to ₹148.58 crore from ₹136.86 crore in FY25.
Net profit stayed flat at ₹3.46 crore, meaning costs rose in lockstep with sales.
Auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the audited standalone results.

Why this matters

Revenue growth that doesn't flow to the bottom line is a problem for any company. For a nano-cap with a ₹36 crore market value, it's a structural question about whether the business model can generate incremental returns.

The full read

Mittal Sections grew revenue 8.5% to ₹148.58 crore in FY26. Profit didn't move. Net income was ₹3.46 crore, flat against the prior year. The new sales brought in cash but not earnings. Costs rose in lockstep with the top line, erasing the gain. For a ₹36 crore company, another year without profit growth compresses the investment case. The stock trades at ~10x the same profit it earned last year. Hardly a growth multiple.
