HYUNDAI – Hyundai Motor India – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 8-May-26

Hyundai Motor India’s FY26 shows zero debt, ₹1.05 lakh Cr liquidity, and capex cycle completion, but PAT fell 3.7%, EBITDA margins compressed ~70 bps, and costs outpaced 2.3% revenue growth. ROCE risk from PPE surge looms; re‑rating hinges on volume recovery or EV/SUV mix gains.

Topline

  • Revenue from operations grew 2.3% YoY (₹6,91,929 Mn → ₹7,07,633 Mn); modest absolute gain of ₹15,704 Mn signals volume saturation rather than expansion in a competitive PV market.
  • Q4FY26 revenue of ₹1,89,162 Mn was 5.4% ahead of Q3FY26 (₹1,79,735 Mn), suggesting seasonal recovery rather than structural acceleration.
  • Other income rose 9.1% YoY (₹8,700 Mn → ₹9,490 Mn), partly cushioning a weak operating topline — a dependency to watch.

Bottomline

  • PAT declined 3.7% YoY (₹56,402 Mn → ₹54,315 Mn) despite broadly flat revenue, pointing to cost structure inflation eating into profits.
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹12,556 Mn was 22.2% below Q4FY25 (₹16,143 Mn) — a sharp sequential year-on-year deterioration; employee costs (+18.9% YoY) and other expenses (+11.7% YoY) are the primary drag.
  • EPS fell from ₹69.41 to ₹66.85 YoY; no dilution (same paid-up capital), so the decline is purely earnings-driven.

Margins

  • EBITDA proxy (PBT + D&A + Finance costs): FY26 = ₹72,431 + ₹21,980 + ₹1,065 = ₹95,476 Mn; FY25 = ₹75,913 + ₹21,053 + ₹1,272 = ₹98,238 Mn. EBITDA margin FY26: ₹95,476 / ₹7,07,633 = 13.5% vs FY25: ₹98,238 / ₹6,91,929 = 14.2% — 70 bps compression.
  • Net profit margin: FY26 = ₹54,315 / ₹7,07,633 = 7.7% vs FY25 = ₹56,402 / ₹6,91,929 = 8.2% — 50 bps erosion.
  • Material cost ratio broadly stable (FY26: 70.9% of revenue vs FY25: 71.4%), so margin pressure is from opex (employee + other expenses), not raw material inflation.

Growth Trajectory

  • Revenue CAGR (1-year) of 2.3% is well below India’s PV industry growth rates; market share risk is real if product mix or EV pivot is delayed.
  • Cost lines outpacing revenue: employee costs +18.9%, other expenses +11.7% vs revenue +2.3% — operating leverage is working in reverse.
  • PPE jumped from ₹62,908 Mn to ₹1,22,907 Mn (+95% YoY), partially offset by CWIP drawdown (₹47,184 Mn → ₹7,253 Mn), signifying a major capex cycle has completed or is near completion — future revenue growth must justify this asset base.

SBIN – State Bank of India – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 8-May-26

SBI’s FY26 shows ₹83,299 Cr PAT, 17% loan growth, and deposit dominance, but OCF fell 16%, NIM compressed, treasury income collapsed, and borrowings outpaced earnings. Core PPOP grew just 4% YoY. Re‑rating hinges on NIM stabilisation and OCF‑PAT conversion; Insurance/Retail remain medium‑term positives.

Topline

  • Net interest income (Interest earned minus interest expended): ₹1,99,928 Cr in FY26 vs ₹1,89,369 Cr in FY25 — 5.6% YoY growth; deposit repricing pressure is compressing the spread.
  • Other income surged to ₹1,94,684 Cr in FY26 vs ₹1,73,031 Cr in FY25 (+12.5% YoY), now contributing ~27% of total income — non-interest diversification deepening.
  • Retail Banking the largest segment at ₹2,65,844 Cr revenue (FY26), up 10.0% YoY; Insurance at ₹1,33,260 Cr (+16.8% YoY) — both driving consolidated growth.

Bottomline

  • PAT (post minority interest) grew to ₹83,299 Cr in FY26 from ₹77,561 Cr in FY25 — 7.4% YoY growth; solid but decelerating vs historical pace.
  • Q4FY26 PAT (post minority): ₹19,643 Cr vs ₹19,600 Cr in Q4FY25 — near-flat YoY, dragged by lower treasury income and higher provisions.
  • Exceptional item of ₹3,027 Cr (FY26) boosted reported PBT; underlying operating profit growth was ₹5,135 Cr or 4.0% YoY — the real earnings engine is moderating.

Margins

  • Operating profit margin (Operating profit / Total income): FY26: ₹1,31,962 Cr / ₹7,09,617 Cr = 18.6% vs FY25: ₹1,26,826 Cr / ₹6,63,343 Cr = 19.1% — 50 bps compression.
  • Net profit margin (PAT post minority / Total income): FY26: ₹83,299 Cr / ₹7,09,617 Cr = 11.7% vs FY25: ₹77,561 Cr / ₹6,63,343 Cr = 11.7% — stable at the bottom line despite mid-line pressure.
  • Employee cost as % of total income: FY26: ₹72,768 Cr / ₹7,09,617 Cr = 10.3% vs FY25: 10.6% — marginal efficiency gain; Insurance opex jump (+17.2% YoY) offsets it partially.

Growth Trajectory

  • Total income CAGR (FY25→FY26): 7.0% — consistent but narrowing; advances grew 17.1% YoY (₹42,50,831 Cr → ₹49,78,013 Cr), balance sheet scaling faster than income.
  • Treasury segment revenue fell 3.4% YoY (₹1,34,628 Cr → ₹1,30,119 Cr) with profit down 11.2% — yield environment less favorable in FY26.
  • Digital Banking revenue declined 22.9% YoY (₹5,502 Cr → ₹4,241 Cr); segment profit still grew to ₹18,341 Cr from ₹15,663 Cr — monetisation improving despite revenue compression, likely mix shift.

TITAN – Titan Company Ltd – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 8-May-26

Titan’s FY26 delivered 52% PAT growth and stronger ISCR, but growth quality rests on gold‑on‑loan leverage (₹16,070 Cr) and elevated inventory. Jewellery concentration (90% revenue), goodwill expansion, and Q4 margin compression add caution. Re‑rating hinges on margin stability and balance sheet normalization as gold momentum fades.

🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Jewellery dominates at ₹79,660 Cr (90% of FY26 revenue), surging 47.6% YoY — gold price tailwind + volume growth driving outsized scale.
  • FY26 consolidated revenue from operations hit ₹87,584 Cr (sale of products + other operating revenue), up 49.5% YoY from ₹60,456 Cr — exceptional growth for a consumer discretionary at this scale.
  • Q4FY26 revenue ₹27,104 Cr vs Q4FY25 ₹15,032 Cr — 80.3% YoY jump; significant gold-on-loan and inventory build embedded in “other operating revenues” of ₹6,313 Cr (vs ₹1,019 Cr in Q4FY25) warrants scrutiny.

Bottomline

  • FY26 PAT ₹5,073 Cr vs FY25 ₹3,337 Cr — 52% YoY growth; EPS expanded from ₹37.62 to ₹57.19.
  • Q4FY26 PAT ₹1,179 Cr vs Q4FY25 ₹871 Cr — 35.4% YoY, sequentially down from Q3’s ₹1,684 Cr due to lower jewellery segment EBIT and a ₹51 Cr exceptional loss.
  • Effective tax rate stable at ~25.4% in FY26 (FY25: 26.4%) — deferred tax credit of ₹12 Cr provides a small tailwind.

Margins

  • FY26 operating margin 8.89% vs FY25 8.76% — marginal 13 bps expansion despite massive revenue scale-up; jewellery’s gold cost structure caps margin leverage.
  • Q4FY26 operating margin compressed to 6.54% vs Q4FY25 9.51% — sharp sequential decline driven by ₹21,430 Cr material cost (cost of materials: 78.5% of Q4 expenses).
  • Net profit margin FY26 5.79% vs FY25 5.52% — 27 bps improvement; ISCR improved to 12.15x from 9.23x, signalling better interest coverage on higher earnings.

Growth Trajectory

  • FY26 jewellery revenue +47.6% YoY; Watches +14.6%; Eyecare +14.4%; Others +57.3% — broad-based growth but jewellery contribution rising, concentrating revenue risk.
  • Gold-on-loan balance doubled: ₹7,810 Cr → ₹16,070 Cr — financing jewellery inventory expansion aggressively; sustainable only if gold prices remain elevated.
  • Goodwill jumped from ₹123 Cr to ₹758 Cr; intangibles from ₹310 Cr to ₹1,105 Cr — acquisition activity (₹1,171 Cr paid) signals inorganic growth ambition but adds integration risk.

BSE – BSE Ltd – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 7-May-26

BSE’s FY26 delivered 63.5% revenue and 87.9% PAT growth with ₹2,58,852L FCF, debt‑free liquidity, and structural operating leverage. Risks: volume cyclicality, heavy capex via depreciation, and receivables nearly doubled. Sustainability of 60%+ PBT margins hinges on retail participation holding up beyond a possible FY26 volume peak.

🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from operations surged 63.5% YoY (₹2,95,734L → ₹4,83,395L in FY26), driven by record derivatives and equity trading volumes on BSE.
  • Q4FY26 revenue hit ₹1,56,351L — 84.7% above Q4FY25 (₹84,664L) and 25.7% above Q3FY26 (₹1,24,410L), indicating strong sequential acceleration.
  • Total income crossed ₹5,14,810L in FY26 vs ₹3,23,631L in FY25 (+59.1%), with investment income contributing ₹29,030L (steady, non-core).

Bottomline

  • PAT from continuing operations grew 87.9% YoY (₹1,31,706L → ₹2,47,530L); including discontinued ops, total PAT reached ₹2,48,725L.
  • Q4FY26 PAT: ₹79,547L vs ₹49,304L in Q4FY25 (+61.3%) and ₹59,659L in Q3FY26 (+33.3%) — step-change profitability in the seasonally strong quarter.
  • EPS (basic & diluted) more than doubled: ₹32.18 in FY25 → ₹60.61 in FY26, despite equity base expansion from bonus/split (paid-up capital: ₹2,707L → ₹8,158L).

Margins

  • FY26 PBT margin on total income: 64.1% (₹3,29,914L / ₹5,14,810L) vs 54.0% in FY25 (₹1,74,827L / ₹3,23,631L) — a 10pp expansion.
  • Total expenses grew only 24.1% YoY (₹1,48,063L → ₹1,83,742L) against 63.5% revenue growth — strong operating leverage at work.
  • Regulatory contributions rose 58.3% (₹41,046L → ₹64,969L), tracking revenue; clearing & settlement costs actually fell 19.5% (₹34,805L → ₹28,035L), aiding margin improvement.

Growth Trajectory

  • Three-year revenue CAGR implied from FY25–FY26 alone: 63.5% — unsustainable at this rate but reflects BSE’s structural rebound in market share.
  • Depreciation jumped 40.7% YoY (₹11,298L → ₹15,896L), signalling heavy capex cycle underway (PPE nearly tripled: ₹22,217L → ₹56,259L).
  • Employee costs grew 25.9% YoY — manageable versus revenue growth, though Q4FY26 saw a dip (₹6,352L) vs Q3FY26 (₹9,336L), possibly timing-driven.

BRITANNIA – Britannia Industries – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 7-May-26

Britannia’s FY26 confirms a capital‑light, margin‑expanding, net‑cash franchise with strong FCF. Yet short‑term borrowings and deepening JV losses add earnings risk. Revenue growth at 6.7% is modest; with capex low, re‑rating hinges on volume acceleration or category scaling, absent in current data.

🔍 Observations

🔎 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from operations grew 6.7% YoY (₹17,942.67 Cr → ₹19,151.59 Cr), driven by volume/mix gains in the core foods segment; no geographic or product-level breakdown available.
  • Q4FY26 revenue of ₹4,718.92 Cr grew 6.5% YoY vs Q4FY25 (₹4,432.19 Cr) but declined 5.0% QoQ vs Q3FY26 (₹4,969.82 Cr) — typical post-festive seasonality.
  • Other operating revenues contracted sharply (₹407.65 Cr → ₹293.38 Cr, -28% YoY), partially masking underlying goods revenue growth of 7.5%.

Bottomline

  • PAT grew 16.5% YoY (₹2,177.86 Cr → ₹2,537.01 Cr), outpacing revenue growth by ~10 ppts — margin expansion is the primary driver, not volume alone.
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹679.68 Cr grew 21.6% YoY (vs ₹559.13 Cr in Q4FY25), despite a higher associate/JV loss drag of ₹19.30 Cr vs ₹4.65 Cr in the year-ago quarter.
  • Effective tax rate improved to 22.9% (FY26) from 25.6% (FY25), contributing ~₹70 Cr incremental PAT benefit.

Margins

  • Net profit margin expanded 110 bps (12.13% → 13.23%); EBIT margin improved 73 bps (16.45% → 17.18%) — both computed on total revenue from operations.
  • Raw material intensity (cost of materials + stock-in-trade as % of goods revenue): (₹10,350.02 + ₹805.23) / ₹18,858.21 = 59.0% in FY26 vs (₹9,859.45 + ₹809.35) / ₹17,535.02 = 61.1% in FY25 — ~210 bps input cost relief.
  • Employee cost jumped 16.9% YoY (₹704.59 Cr → ₹823.80 Cr), absorbing a portion of the raw material savings and flagging cost pressure in headcount/wages.

Growth Trajectory

  • 3-year PAT CAGR implied from FY25→FY26 alone is strong at 16.5%; revenue CAGR is modest at 6.7% — a margin-recovery story more than a volume-growth story.
  • EPS grew 16.3% YoY (₹90.45 → ₹105.18), with no equity dilution (share capital flat at ₹24.09 Cr).
  • Associate/JV losses deepened materially (₹10.74 Cr → ₹30.09 Cr), a trend that could weigh on consolidated earnings if unaddressed.
