DIVISLAB – Divi’s Laboratories – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 23-May-26

Divi’s FY26 delivered topline growth with rare margin expansion in APIs, funded capex doubling via accruals on debt‑free balance sheet. Risks: ₹718 Cr inventory build — demand vs procurement clarity due H1FY27. Strong OCF, accelerating exit rate, and expanding margins keep structural case intact despite FCF compression.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from operations grew 12.8% YoY (₹9,360 Cr → ₹10,560 Cr), with Q4FY26 at ₹2,831 Cr — the strongest quarter of FY26, up 9.5% over Q4FY25’s ₹2,585 Cr.
  • Sequential revenue momentum held: Q2→Q3→Q4 progression of ₹2,604 Cr → ₹2,604 Cr → ₹2,831 Cr signals an accelerating exit rate into FY27.
  • Other income jumped 44% YoY (₹352 Cr → ₹507 Cr), driven by interest on FDs; operationally irrelevant but flatters total income.

Bottomline

  • Net profit grew 17.2% YoY (₹2,191 Cr → ₹2,568 Cr), outpacing revenue — positive operating leverage at work.
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹751 Cr was the highest quarterly print, up 13.4% over Q4FY25’s ₹662 Cr; sequential jump from ₹583 Cr reflects Q3’s one-time labour code charge of ₹74 Cr normalising out.
  • Basic EPS expanded from ₹82.53 to ₹96.75 — a 17.2% YoY improvement on an unchanged share count.

Margins

  • EBITDA (PBT ex-other income + depreciation + finance costs): FY26 = ₹3,462 – ₹507 + ₹463 + ₹23 = ₹3,441 Cr on revenue of ₹10,560 Cr → EBITDA margin 32.6% vs FY25: ₹2,916 – ₹352 + ₹402 + ₹2 = ₹2,968 Cr on ₹9,360 Cr → 31.7%. ~90 bps expansion YoY.
  • Net profit margin (PAT/Revenue from ops): FY26 = 2,568/10,560 = 24.3% vs FY25 = 2,191/9,360 = 23.4%. ~90 bps improvement.
  • Employee costs grew 16% YoY (₹1,243 Cr → ₹1,442 Cr) and material costs grew 14.6% (₹3,821 Cr → ₹4,378 Cr net of inventory change: ₹3,821–96 = ₹3,725 Cr FY25 vs ₹4,378–285 = ₹4,093 Cr FY26, +9.9%) — cost discipline preserved margin expansion.

Growth Trajectory

  • Revenue CAGR trajectory: 12.8% in FY26; combined with margin expansion, the earnings growth of 17.2% YoY demonstrates operating leverage materialising at scale.
  • CWIP nearly doubled (₹1,022 Cr → ₹2,113 Cr) and capex was ₹2,520 Cr in FY26 vs ₹1,438 Cr in FY25 — a 75% capex step-up signals management’s confidence in sustaining double-digit volume growth.
  • Total equity grew from ₹14,969 Cr to ₹16,761 Cr, entirely through retained earnings; the asset base expanded from ₹16,932 Cr to ₹20,033 Cr — 18.3% in one year.

PAGEIND – Page Industries – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 21-May-26

Page Industries’ FY26 shows structurally sound balance sheet and premium franchise, but traded‑goods mix compresses margins and inventory build in sub‑7% growth year clouds demand visibility. Q4’s 14.1% revenue growth offers re‑rating path if FY27 sustains momentum and inventory normalises into cash flow.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • FY26 revenue grew 6.3% YoY (₹4,93,491L → ₹5,24,678L), modest for a premium innerwear franchise but directionally intact.
  • Q4FY26 revenue jumped 14.1% YoY (₹1,09,807L → ₹1,25,260L), signalling a strong close to the year.
  • Traded goods purchases surged 56% YoY (₹73,771L → ₹1,15,161L), indicating a significant mix shift toward outsourced/traded inventory.

Bottomline

  • FY26 net profit grew 4.8% YoY (₹72,914L → ₹76,382L), lagging revenue growth — cost pressures compressed operating leverage.
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹17,873L grew 9.0% YoY (vs ₹16,401L), a cleaner quarter absent the Q3 exceptional charge.
  • EPS expanded from ₹653.71 to ₹684.81, a 4.8% YoY gain on flat share capital — purely earnings-driven.

Margins

  • FY26 EBITDA (PBT + Finance costs + D&A): ₹1,02,534L + ₹4,978L + ₹10,663L = ₹1,18,175L on revenue of ₹5,24,678L → EBITDA margin of 22.5% vs FY25: ₹97,858L + ₹4,638L + ₹9,923L = ₹1,12,419L on ₹4,93,491L → 22.8%. Marginal 30bps compression.
  • Net profit margin: FY26 = ₹76,382L / ₹5,24,678L = 14.6% vs FY25 = ₹72,914L / ₹4,93,491L = 14.8%. Stable but gently declining.
  • Employee costs rose 14.8% YoY (₹82,150L → ₹94,294L), growing materially faster than revenue — the primary margin drag.

Growth Trajectory

  • 6.3% topline growth is below historical norms for Page Industries; the traded goods surge suggests channel/product mix changes rather than organic volume acceleration.
  • Q4 quarterly trend (14.1% YoY) is the strongest quarter of FY26 — momentum is improving into the new year.
  • Inventory build of ₹19,679L (cash flow basis) in a 6%-growth year is a caution flag on demand visibility.

HINDALCO – Hindalco Industries – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 22-May-26

Hindalco’s FY26 delivered ~10% pre‑exceptional earnings growth on 15% revenue jump, but debt rose ~56%, inventory ballooned 55%, and FCF turned negative amid capex bets. Novelis EBITDA/tonne recovery is the swing factor; FY26 is a transition year — watch Novelis margins, inventory normalization, and OCF recovery for re‑rating.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Consolidated revenue surged 15.3% YoY (₹2,38,496 Cr → ₹2,74,944 Cr), with Q4FY26 alone jumping 20.4% YoY (₹64,890 Cr → ₹78,133 Cr) — broadest quarterly run-rate in recent history.
  • Copper segment drove outsized topline contribution, growing 27.7% YoY (₹54,703 Cr → ₹69,838 Cr); Aluminium downstream accelerated 24.3% YoY (₹12,819 Cr → ₹15,938 Cr).
  • Novelis, the largest segment at 59% of revenue, grew a modest 12.3% YoY (₹1,45,068 Cr → ₹1,62,882 Cr) — volume/mix, not commodity tailwinds, likely driving it.

Bottomline

  • Reported PAT declined 16.3% YoY (₹16,002 Cr → ₹13,391 Cr), distorted entirely by exceptional charges of ₹6,963 Cr in FY26 vs. ₹879 Cr in FY25.
  • Pre-exceptional PBT grew 9.7% YoY (₹23,216 Cr → ₹25,459 Cr), confirming underlying earnings power is intact and expanding.
  • EPS (basic) compressed to ₹60.31 from ₹72.05 — optically weak, but exceptional-item-driven; core trajectory is positive.

Margins

  • Segment EBITDA expanded to ₹37,217 Cr from ₹35,162 Cr (+5.8% YoY); consolidated EBITDA (segment results + unallocable, pre-finance/D&A) at ₹38,097 Cr vs. ₹35,496 Cr (+7.3% YoY).
  • EBITDA margin on revenue from operations: 38,097 / 2,74,944 = 13.9% vs. 35,496 / 2,38,496 = 14.9% — 100 bps compression YoY, partly attributable to Copper’s lower-margin revenue mix growing fastest.
  • Aluminium upstream segment result improved to ₹18,884 Cr from ₹16,262 Cr (+16.1% YoY) — the highest-margin segment delivering the best absolute growth.

Growth Trajectory

  • Revenue CAGR implied over two years is healthy, but working capital consumption is accelerating disproportionately — a structural flag for FY27 free cash flow visibility.
  • Aluminium downstream, though small, grew 54.5% in segment results (₹633 Cr → ₹978 Cr) — early signs of downstream value-add monetisation.
  • Novelis segment result fell 4.6% YoY (₹15,242 Cr → ₹14,546 Cr) despite revenue growth — margin dilution at the most important subsidiary warrants monitoring.

EICHERMOT – Eicher Motors – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 22-May-26

Eicher Motors’ FY26 delivered 24% revenue growth, ₹3,530 Cr FCF, near‑zero leverage, and VECV JV momentum. Risks: 150 bps PAT margin compression and Q4 revenue stall. Re‑rating now hinges on margin leverage from new platforms and global scale‑up; treasury earnings floor strong but RE must grow without dilution.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from operations crossed ₹23,408 Cr in FY26 vs ₹18,870 Cr in FY25 — 24.0% YoY growth, driven by Royal Enfield volume expansion and premiumisation
  • Q4FY26 revenue at ₹6,080 Cr vs ₹5,241 Cr in Q4FY25 — 16.0% YoY growth; sequentially flat vs Q3FY26 (₹6,114 Cr)
  • Other income (investment returns) rose to ₹1,487 Cr in FY26 from ₹1,305 Cr — meaningful contributor given the large treasury corpus

Bottomline

  • PAT grew 16.5% YoY to ₹5,515 Cr (FY26) from ₹4,734 Cr (FY25); Q4FY26 PAT at ₹1,520 Cr, up 11.6% vs Q4FY25 (₹1,362 Cr)
  • JV profit contribution (VECV) rose to ₹798 Cr in FY26 from ₹700 Cr — 14.0% YoY; Q4FY26 VECV share surged to ₹323 Cr vs ₹248 Cr in Q4FY25
  • Basic EPS expanded to ₹201.09 in FY26 from ₹172.76 in FY25 — 16.4% YoY growth

Margins

  • FY26 EBITDA (PBT before JV + D&A + Finance costs): ₹6,359.70 + ₹840.37 + ₹71.53 = ₹7,271.60 Cr on revenue of ₹23,408 Cr → EBITDA margin ~31.1% vs ~30.7% in FY25 (₹5,233.26 + ₹729.33 + ₹54.34 = ₹6,016.93 Cr / ₹18,870 Cr) — marginal expansion
  • Net profit margin (PAT / Revenue from ops): 5,515 / 23,408 = 23.6% vs 4,734 / 18,870 = 25.1% in FY25 — 150bps compression, partly from higher tax (effective rate rose from 20.2% to 22.3%)
  • Raw material + traded goods as % of revenue: (12,502 + 835 − 270) / 23,408 = 55.4% vs (9,953 + 507 − 164) / 18,870 = 54.8% — modest input cost inflation absorbed

Growth Trajectory

  • Revenue CAGR at 24% for FY26 points to strong demand; sequential flatness in Q4 warrants watching for volume plateau
  • PAT growth (16.5%) lagging revenue growth (24.0%) signals operating leverage not fully flowing through — cost base scaling faster than topline
  • VECV’s improving profit trajectory (14% YoY) adds earnings resilience via non-motorcycle diversification
