Topline

Revenue surged 28.9% YoY to ₹288,838M in FY26, with Q4 FY26 alone at ₹88,645M — up 26.9% YoY, signaling accelerating momentum into year-end.
Wires & Cables dominates at ₹255,344M (88.4% of segmental revenue), growing 32.7% YoY; FMEG scaled 23.0% YoY to ₹20,693M.
EPC contracted 13.2% YoY to ₹16,665M — the only segment shrinking, dragging blended growth.

Bottomline

PAT jumped 32.4% YoY to ₹27,084M in FY26; Q4 PAT at ₹7,856M grew 7.0% YoY but was up 24.7% QoQ, reflecting strong sequential recovery.
Basic EPS rose from ₹134.34 to ₹177.53 (+32.2% YoY), tracking PAT growth closely with minimal dilution.
Effective tax rate eased to 25.0% in FY26 vs. 24.3% in FY25, largely stable; deferred tax credit of ₹344M aided PAT modestly.

Margins

EBITDA proxy: PBT ₹36,131M + D&A ₹3,859M + Finance Costs ₹2,430M = ₹42,420M → EBITDA margin 14.7% on revenue of ₹288,838M vs. ~13.7% in FY25 (₹30,678M / ₹224,083M) — ~100bps expansion.
Net profit margin improved to 9.4% in FY26 from 9.1% in FY25 on revenue; contained material cost ratio (71.3% vs. 68.9% in FY25) offset by operating leverage on fixed costs.
FMEG turned profitable in FY26 at ₹548M segment profit vs. a loss of ₹389M in FY25 — a structural inflection.

Growth Trajectory

Revenue CAGR implied over FY25–FY26: 28.9%; PAT CAGR: 32.4% — bottomline outpacing topline signals operating leverage in play.
Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹88,645M is the highest ever quarterly print, up 16.0% QoQ — growth isn’t decelerating.
EPC revenue decline and rising material costs (₹206,157M vs. ₹154,174M, +33.7%) are the two variables to watch for FY27 sustainability.

GODREJPROP – Godrej Properties – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 4-May-26

Godrej Properties’ FY26 shows ₹57,807 Cr inventory and ₹39,087 Cr advances underpinning multi‑year pipeline, but reported earnings inflated by ₹2,093 Cr gains. True picture: 4.2% revenue growth, negative OCF, rising short‑term borrowings, collapsing DSCR. Delivery execution is now the decisive risk/opportunity lever.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from Operations grew 4.2% YoY (₹4,922.84 Cr → ₹5,131.43 Cr); Q4 FY26 alone at ₹3,458 Cr contributed ~67% of full-year revenue — extreme back-loading signals lumpy recognition tied to project completions.
Real Estate dominates at 97.7% of segment revenue (₹5,011.79 Cr); Hospitality contributed ₹119.64 Cr (+11.5% YoY) — negligible in scale but directionally positive.
Other Income surged 60.4% YoY (₹2,044.21 Cr → ₹3,279.45 Cr), driven largely by fair value gains on acquisition of control (₹1,677.31 Cr) — inflating total income meaningfully above operational reality.

Bottomline

PAT grew 32.5% YoY (₹1,389.23 Cr → ₹1,840.66 Cr); PAT attributable to owners at ₹1,845.48 Cr vs ₹1,393.42 Cr — solid absolute growth but quality is diluted by non-cash fair value gains embedded in Other Income.
Deferred tax expense ballooned to ₹391.30 Cr (FY26) vs ₹119.42 Cr (FY25) — rising deferred tax liability (₹442.03 Cr on B/S vs ₹15.80 Cr prior year) signals accelerating temporary difference unwinding ahead.
EPS (Diluted) improved to ₹61.42 from ₹49.01 (+25.3% YoY) on a stable share count — genuine per-share accretion confirmed.

Margins

Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded to 35.31% (FY26) from 31.60% (FY25) — operationally constructive, reflecting revenue mix shift toward higher-margin completed projects.
Net Profit Margin at 21.98% vs 20.29% — incremental improvement, though base includes ₹3,279 Cr Other Income; on Revenue from Operations alone, net margin is materially lower (~35.8% on ₹5,131 Cr, still elevated due to fair value gains flowing through PBT).
Operating Margin (per company formula) at -5.58% for FY26 vs +4.85% FY25 — a sharp deterioration driven by Q3’s -34.19%, partially offset by Q4’s 17.77%; reflects the recognition timing distortion inherent in Ind AS 115 for real estate.

Growth Trajectory

Revenue from Operations 2-year trajectory: FY24 base not provided, but FY25→FY26 growth of 4.2% understates operational scale-up — inventory build of ₹57,807 Cr (up 75.6% YoY from ₹32,928 Cr) signals massive future revenue pipeline.
JV contribution turned positive in Q4 FY26 (₹87.92 Cr) vs losses in prior quarters, lifting full-year share of JV loss to only -₹36.75 Cr vs -₹118.60 Cr in FY25 — recovery trajectory in associate portfolio.
Net Worth grew 10.6% YoY (₹17,312 Cr → ₹19,155 Cr) organically through retained earnings — no equity dilution in FY26 (vs ₹5,921 Cr QIP in FY25).

BHEL – Bharat Heavy Electricals – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 4-May-26

BHEL’s FY26 marks inflection: revenue scale, margin expansion, PAT tripled. Balance sheet clean with ₹11,867 Cr liquid, cash flow supported by advances. Risks: Q4 revenue concentration, ₹14,716 Cr opaque assets, inventory build. FY27 durability hinges on order inflow continuity and Q1–Q3 execution delivery.

🔎 Observations

Topline

Revenue from operations surged 19.2% YoY (₹28,339 Cr → ₹33,782 Cr), with Power segment driving 75% of incremental revenue (₹4,469 Cr added).
Q4 FY26 alone clocked ₹12,310 Cr — 37% of full-year revenue — confirming BHEL’s persistent H2/Q4-heavy execution skew.
Industry segment held steady at ₹8,375 Cr (+13.1% YoY), providing a cushion against Power lumpiness.

Bottomline

PAT tripled YoY (₹534 Cr → ₹1,600 Cr, +199.7%), with Q4 FY26 alone contributing ₹1,290 Cr — outsized quarter-end profit recognition.
EPS expanded from ₹1.53 to ₹4.60 (+200.7%), reflecting pure operating leverage with no equity dilution (share capital unchanged at ₹696 Cr).
Deferred tax expense of ₹535 Cr in FY26 vs. ₹189 Cr in FY25 indicates DTA utilization accelerating as taxable profits scale — effective tax burden remains low due to legacy DTA buffer (₹3,533 Cr on balance sheet).

Margins

EBITDA margin (excl. other income) expanded 252 bps YoY: 4.59% → 7.11%; Q4 FY26 spike to 14.38% reflects revenue-heavy quarter absorbing fixed costs fully.
Net profit margin more than doubled: 1.88% → 4.74% FY26; employee cost as % of revenue rose marginally (20.9% → 19.1% — actually improved), while other expenses fell from ₹2,329 Cr → ₹1,989 Cr (-14.6%), a meaningful efficiency gain.
Finance costs held flat at ~₹756 Cr despite short-term borrowings declining ₹845 Cr — interest burden stable, not worsening.

Growth Trajectory

Revenue CAGR implied over two years is strong, but Q4 concentration risk is structural: FY26 Q4/FY25 Q4 revenue grew 36.9% YoY — driven by execution acceleration, not new order wins alone.
Power segment EBIT margin (segment result/revenue): FY26: 9.65% vs. FY25: 5.81% — 384 bps expansion signals improved project mix and cost recovery.
Other income jumped 73.6% YoY (₹465 Cr → ₹808 Cr), partly driven by interest on bank balances (₹10,431 Cr parked) — a non-recurring tailwind that flatters PBT.

WAAREEENER – Waaree Energies – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 29-Apr-26

Waaree’s FY26 doubled revenue and profit with margin gains, low leverage, and solar dominance. Yet inventory/receivables growth drives negative FCF, making working capital intensity the key risk. FY27 hinges on WC cycle normalization and CWIP commissioning to align balance sheet quality with P&L strength.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from operations nearly doubled YoY — ₹14,445 Cr in FY25 to ₹26,537 Cr in FY26 (+83.7%), driven overwhelmingly by Solar PV Modules (₹12,957 Cr → ₹24,133 Cr, +86.2%).
Q4FY26 revenue hit ₹8,480 Cr — up 111.8% YoY vs Q4FY25’s ₹4,004 Cr — signalling accelerating momentum into year-end.
EPC segment nearly doubled too (₹1,559 Cr → ₹3,282 Cr, +110.5%), emerging as a meaningful second growth engine alongside modules.

Bottomline

PAT grew from ₹1,928 Cr to ₹3,884 Cr (+101.4% YoY) — profit growth outpaced revenue growth, a hallmark of operating leverage kicking in.
Attributable PAT (to parent) grew from ₹1,869 Cr to ₹3,709 Cr (+98.5%); NCI profit jumped from ₹61 Cr to ₹173 Cr, reflecting subsidiary scale-up.
Basic EPS nearly doubled: ₹68.24 → ₹129.10 (+89.2%), with no meaningful equity dilution.

Margins

EBIT (pre-unallocable): ₹4,981 Cr on ₹26,537 Cr revenue = 18.8% EBIT margin vs ₹2,361 Cr on ₹14,445 Cr = 16.3% in FY25 — 250 bps expansion.
EBITDA (EBIT + D&A of ₹990 Cr) = ₹5,971 Cr → 22.5% EBITDA margin vs (₹2,361 + ₹402 Cr) = ₹2,763 Cr → 19.1% in FY25 — ~340 bps improvement.
Net margin: ₹3,884 Cr ÷ ₹26,537 Cr = 14.6% vs ₹1,928 Cr ÷ ₹14,445 Cr = 13.3% in FY25 — clean bottom-line margin expansion alongside revenue scale.

Growth Trajectory

FY26 revenue of ₹26,537 Cr and Q4FY26 run-rate of ₹8,480 Cr implies an annualised pace exceeding ₹33,000 Cr — growth is not plateauing.
D&A nearly tripled (₹402 Cr → ₹990 Cr), reflecting aggressive capacity additions — the investment cycle is deep and ongoing.
Module EBIT margin: ₹4,423 Cr on ₹24,133 Cr = 18.3% vs ₹2,065 Cr on ₹12,957 Cr = 15.9% in FY25 — operational efficiency improving even at higher volume.
