CANBK – Canara Bank – Q4 FY26 Earnings Call – 11-May-26

Canara Bank’s topline resilient (12–15% credit growth), margins stable (2.5–2.6% NIM), but bottomline pressured by ECL (₹10K cr) and MTM volatility; ROA sustainability hinges on provisioning phasing and slippage control.

📊 Base Case (50% Probability)

Crude $100–110/bbl, palm oil ~4,500 MYR. Q1–Q2 margin pressure (EBITDA % dips 100–150bps) offset by pricing/share gains. Indonesia volumes +5–6%, Africa/ME revenue +15–20% (EBITDA +5–7%). India volume growth: 7–8%. Consolidated EBITDA growth: 9–11%.

PNB – Punjab National Bank – Q4 FY26 Earnings Call – 5-May-26

Punjab National Bank’s topline growth hinges on RAM execution and deposit repricing, while margins and bottomline face cyclical pressure from ECL and sticky funding costs; structural RAM shift and capital strength provide downside protection.

3-Scenario Framework

📊 Base Case (60% Probability)

RAM mix reaches 56%, deposit costs decline ~5 bps/quarter, and ECL transition absorbs INR2,000–3,000 crores via floating provisions. NIM stabilizes at 2.65%, credit grows 12%, and ROA sustains ~1%. IBPC unwind completes by FY27, freeing up ~20 bps margin tailwind.

DLF – DLF Limited – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 13-May-26

DLF’s FY26 shows near‑zero debt, strong OCF, and rising annuity income, de‑risking the balance sheet. Reported revenue is lumpy (2.5% growth, ‑42% Q4), but ₹6,336 Cr customer advances signal pipeline strength. Re‑rating hinges on high‑margin project deliveries and structurally lower interest costs driving PAT expansion.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from operations grew a modest 2.5% YoY — ₹8,194 Cr (FY26) vs ₹7,994 Cr (FY25) — masking the reality that Q4 FY26 revenue fell sharply to ₹1,814 Cr from ₹3,128 Cr in Q4 FY25, a 42% YoY quarterly decline.
Revenue recognition in real estate follows completion/handover schedules — the Q4 drop likely reflects a trough in handovers between project cycles, not demand destruction.
Other income surged 61.8% YoY to ₹1,622 Cr (vs ₹1,002 Cr), significantly bolstered by higher interest income and exceptional items of ₹203 Cr vs a loss of ₹302 Cr in FY25.

Bottomline

Net profit flat at ₹4,415 Cr (FY26) vs ₹4,367 Cr (FY25) — essentially unchanged. However, FY25 PAT benefited from a ₹1,111 Cr deferred tax credit; stripping that, underlying profitability improved meaningfully.
Share of profit from associates and JVs (primarily DCCDL) contributed ₹1,793 Cr (FY26) vs ₹1,672 Cr (FY25) — a 7.2% increase, representing 40.6% of FY26 net profit.
Q4 FY26 net profit of ₹1,269 Cr was essentially flat QoQ (₹1,203 Cr in Q3) despite the sharp Q4 revenue decline — testament to improving margin quality and lower finance costs.

Margins

Operating profit before working capital changes fell to ₹1,534 Cr (FY26) vs ₹2,132 Cr (FY25) — a significant decline in operating-level profitability from the P&L perspective.
Finance costs halved: ₹199 Cr (FY26) vs ₹397 Cr (FY25) — the balance sheet deleveraging is directly accreting to earnings.
Cost of land and construction as % of revenue: ₹4,849 Cr / ₹8,194 Cr = 59.2% (FY25: ₹4,132 / ₹7,994 = 51.7%) — a material deterioration, reflecting project mix (more premium/luxury deliveries with higher land cost ratios).

Growth Trajectory

Revenue growth of 2.5% is well below expectations for a premium residential developer riding India’s housing super-cycle — but bookings/presales (not in provided data) are the forward indicator for DLF, not recognised revenue.
Net debt reduction is the structural growth catalyst: non-current borrowings eliminated from ₹1,672 Cr to ₹0, and current borrowings cut from ₹2,182 Cr to ₹45 Cr — total debt nearly wiped out.
“Other current liabilities” jumped from ₹17,060 Cr to ₹23,396 Cr — a ₹6,336 Cr increase representing advance collections from buyers, the strongest lead indicator of future revenue recognition.

TMCV – Tata Motors Limited (Formerly TML Commercial Vehicles Limited) – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 13-May-26

TMCV’s FY26 shows CV margins up to 10.6% and rapid deleveraging with ₹6,899 Cr cash vs ₹4,817 Cr borrowings. Margin inflection accelerates, but ₹6,547 Cr FVTPL equity book adds PAT volatility. Investors should anchor on operating metrics and track ₹4,268 Cr liabilities normalization for OCF clarity.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from operations hit ₹83,855 Cr in FY26 vs ₹58,217 Cr in the prior stub period (Jun 23, 2024–Mar 31, 2025); direct YoY comparison is distorted by the demerger-driven stub period — Q4FY26 revenue of ₹26,098 Cr grew 19.4% over Q4FY25’s ₹21,863 Cr on a like-for-like quarter basis.
Commercial Vehicle segment dominates at ₹82,611 Cr (98.5% of FY26 segment revenue), with Q4FY26 CV revenue of ₹25,699 Cr up 19.4% QoQ from ₹21,534 Cr.
“Others” segment (non-CV) contributed ₹968 Cr in FY26, up from ₹650 Cr in the stub period, signalling nascent diversification.

Bottomline

FY26 PAT of ₹3,030 Cr vs ₹3,195 Cr in stub period; Q4FY26 PAT of ₹1,793 Cr jumped 33.8% over Q4FY25’s ₹1,340 Cr — the cleanest comparable.
Exceptional items heavily distorted reported PBT: FY26 net exceptional loss of ₹1,428 Cr (primarily ₹2,418 Cr fair value loss on equity investments) vs ₹317 Cr in the prior period; pre-exceptional PBT of ₹6,091 Cr substantially exceeds reported PBT of ₹4,663 Cr.
Tax expense surged to ₹1,633 Cr in FY26 vs ₹893 Cr in the stub period, reflecting higher current tax of ₹1,068 Cr (vs ₹93 Cr) as profitability matures — a sign of normalisation, not deterioration.

Margins

Segment EBIT margin (CV segment results / CV revenue): FY26 = ₹8,727 Cr / ₹82,611 Cr = 10.6% vs stub period ₹5,172 Cr / ₹57,244 Cr = 9.0% — 160bps expansion.
Q4FY26 CV segment margin: ₹2,919 Cr / ₹25,699 Cr = 11.4%, up from Q4FY25’s ₹2,095 Cr / ₹21,528 Cr = 9.7% — 170bps YoY improvement in a single quarter.
Finance costs declined sharply: ₹874 Cr in FY26 vs ₹1,079 Cr in stub period; Q4FY26 finance cost of ₹166 Cr vs Q4FY25’s ₹319 Cr — near halving reflects aggressive debt paydown.

Growth Trajectory

Q4FY26 revenue growth of 19.4% YoY and segment profit growth of 39.3% YoY (₹2,919 Cr vs ₹2,095 Cr) confirms operating leverage is working — topline growth is translating disproportionately into segment earnings.
Corporate/Unallocable drag narrowed significantly: Q4FY26 loss of ₹49 Cr vs Q4FY25 loss of ₹147 Cr — structural overhead rationalisation post-demerger is tracking.
Pre-exceptional PBT for FY26 of ₹6,091 Cr vs ₹4,405 Cr in stub period represents 38.3% growth on a 44-week vs 40.5-week comparison; on a pure quarterly trajectory (Q4FY26 pre-exceptional PBT = ₹2,388 Cr vs Q4FY25’s ₹1,851 Cr), YoY growth is a clean 29%.

TVSMOTOR – TVS Motor Company – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 13-May-26

TVS Motor’s FY26 shows 36% PAT growth, EPS rising ₹47→₹64, and strong auto leverage. Risks: negative FCF, rising short‑term borrowings, <1x current ratio, and NBFC‑driven expansion. Re‑rating hinges on sustaining >12% operating margins; Q4 dip to 11.3% is the key watchpoint.

1–2 minutes

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from operations surged 27.2% YoY (₹44,089 Cr → ₹56,070 Cr), with automotive segment driving ₹11,385 Cr of the ₹12,980 Cr incremental revenue.
Q4FY26 revenue of ₹15,053 Cr grew 30.4% YoY, maintaining strong sequential momentum — Q3 to Q4 added ₹297 Cr despite a high base.
Financial services segment contributed ₹7,202 Cr (12.8% of total revenue), growing 8.4% YoY — steady but meaningfully slower than the core auto business.

Bottomline

PAT from continuing operations grew 35.6% YoY (₹2,350 Cr → ₹3,186 Cr); attributable PAT grew 35.0% (₹2,236 Cr → ₹3,018 Cr).
EPS expanded from ₹47.05 to ₹63.53 — a 35% uplift on an unchanged share count of 47.51 Cr shares, meaning all growth is organic earnings accretion.
Q4FY26 PAT of ₹820 Cr grew 19.4% YoY (vs ₹687 Cr), though sequentially weaker than Q3’s ₹891 Cr — partially explained by Q3 carrying an exceptional loss of ₹50 Cr.

Margins

Full-year operating margin expanded 70 bps YoY (10.8% → 11.5%); Q4FY26 operating margin of 11.3% lagged Q4FY25’s 12.1% — sequential margin compression evident.
Net profit margin improved 30 bps YoY (5.4% → 5.7%), modest given the revenue scale-up — input cost intensity remains high (materials + purchases = ~61.5% of revenue).
Finance costs rose 6.5% YoY (₹2,093 Cr → ₹2,230 Cr), largely NBFC-driven; excluding NBFC, interest coverage improved to 17.75x from 14.36x — a strong signal on automotive business quality.

Growth Trajectory

3-year compounding implied by FY26 scale (₹56,070 Cr revenue, ₹3,186 Cr PAT) suggests sustained double-digit volume and value growth across both segments.
Automotive segment EBIT grew 42.9% YoY (₹2,769 Cr → ₹3,958 Cr) — profit growth meaningfully outpacing revenue growth of 30.3%, confirming operating leverage at work.
Associate losses narrowed sharply (₹74 Cr → ₹41 Cr), suggesting international/JV businesses are on an improving trajectory.

TATAPOWER – Tata Power Company – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 12-May-26

Tata Power’s FY26 shows Thermal collapse offset by Renewables/T&D growth, but OCF halved, debt accelerated, and EPS fell 27%. Transition is intact, yet sustainability hinges on Renewables/T&D margins compounding faster than leverage costs. FY27 signposts: OCF recovery and debt/equity trajectory.

1–2 minutes

🔍 Observations

Topline

FY26 revenue from operations fell 4.7% YoY (₹65,478 Cr → ₹62,429 Cr), driven by a sharp collapse in Thermal & Hydro segment revenue (₹19,739 Cr → ₹11,636 Cr, down 41%), likely from fuel cost pass-through reduction and lower merchant tariffs.
T&D segment offset the decline, growing 5.7% YoY (₹39,121 Cr → ₹41,339 Cr); Renewables surged 52.2% (₹9,876 Cr → ₹15,028 Cr), becoming the second-largest revenue segment.
Q4FY26 revenue of ₹14,900 Cr was 12.8% below Q4FY25 (₹17,096 Cr), reflecting the full-year Thermal drag concentrated in Q4.

Bottomline

Net profit grew 7.2% YoY (₹4,775 Cr → ₹5,118 Cr) despite topline contraction — a margin-led improvement story.
PAT attributable to parent shareholders: ₹3,745 Cr (FY26) vs ₹3,943 Cr (FY25), actually down ~5%; NCI profit jumped to ₹1,373 Cr from ₹832 Cr, skewing consolidated growth optics.
EPS (before regulatory deferral) fell from ₹14.64 to ₹10.72 — a more honest signal of per-share earnings dilution than the headline PAT number.

Margins

Operating margin improved to 16% in FY26 from 15% in FY25 — modest but directionally right given Thermal’s higher-cost structure shrinking in the mix.
Net profit margin at 8% (FY26) vs 7% (FY25); cost of fuel collapsed from ₹13,918 Cr to ₹7,498 Cr (down 46%), but raw material/construction costs doubled (₹4,921 Cr → ₹8,618 Cr), signaling EPC/capex execution ramp.
Finance costs rose 11.8% YoY (₹4,702 Cr → ₹5,257 Cr), capping margin expansion upside.

Growth Trajectory

Renewables segment results grew 50.7% YoY (₹2,881 Cr → ₹4,341 Cr); T&D segment results grew 37.2% (₹3,206 Cr → ₹4,399 Cr) — both outpacing the consolidated business.
Thermal segment results cratered 48.5% (₹3,813 Cr → ₹1,965 Cr); as Thermal’s weight shrinks, the blended margin profile should structurally improve.
Regulatory deferral additions of ₹1,252 Cr (vs. a negative ₹976 Cr in FY25) flatter FY26 PBT — underlying operational earnings recovery is partially regulatory-assisted.

CHOLAFIN – Cholamandalam Investment and Finance – Q4 FY26 Earnings Call – 4-May-26

Cholamandalam Investment and Finance topline growth (20–23% AUM) is structurally supported by diversification, but bottomline expansion hinges on credit cost discipline (1.5% target) and opex control; margins (NIMs ~8%) remain resilient unless macro shocks materialize.

📊 Base Case (50% Probability)

Key Drivers: Credit costs stabilize at 1.5%, AUM grows 20–23%, and CSEL ROA crosses 3%. Gold Loan contributes incrementally (INR 6,000–8,000 crore AUM) but opex remains elevated (~3.1% of AUM). Fuel prices rise 10% but LCV/SCV operators pass on costs.
Outcome: ROA at 3.5%, NIMs at 8%, and EPS grows 15–20% YoY.

INDHOTEL – Indian Hotels Company – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 11-May-26

INDHOTEL’s FY26 shows 11–14% Hotel Services growth, pristine balance sheet, and strong OCF. Risks: flat 27.3% EBITDA margins, +58% goodwill from inorganic push, and Air Catering hypergrowth needing validation. Re‑rating hinges on margin inflection — sustained 29–30% margins would unlock valuation upside.

1–2 minutes

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from Operations grew 16.3% YoY to ₹9,689 Cr in FY26 (FY25: ₹8,335 Cr), with Hotel Services contributing ₹8,487 Cr (87.5% of total) and Air & Institutional Catering ₹1,210 Cr — the latter nearly doubling YoY from ₹716 Cr.
Q4FY26 revenue of ₹2,765 Cr grew 14.0% YoY (Q4FY25: ₹2,425 Cr) but declined 2.7% QoQ from ₹2,842 Cr, reflecting normal Q3 seasonality reversal.
Growth is broad-based: Hotel Services up 11.3% YoY; Air Catering up 68.9% YoY — likely acquisition-driven rather than organic.

Bottomline

FY26 PAT (attributable to owners) of ₹2,084 Cr grew 9.3% YoY (FY25: ₹1,908 Cr); excluding exceptional items, underlying PAT growth is more modest given ₹276 Cr exceptional gains in FY26 vs ₹305 Cr in FY25.
Q4FY26 PAT of ₹600 Cr grew 14.8% YoY (Q4FY25: ₹522 Cr) with no exceptional items — a clean beat on operating fundamentals.
Tax expense grew 18.5% YoY (₹731 Cr vs ₹617 Cr), outpacing PAT growth, as effective tax rate ticked up to 25.0% from 23.9%.

Margins

FY26 EBITDA margin held flat at 27.3% YoY — revenue scale-up absorbed by proportional cost expansion; no meaningful operating leverage captured.
Q4FY26 EBITDA margin of 30.0% is stable vs Q4FY25’s 29.8%, but compressed 260 bps QoQ from Q3’s 32.6% — employee costs ₹656 Cr and other opex ₹879 Cr both rose sequentially despite lower revenue.
Employee costs as a percentage of revenue: FY26 at 25.7% vs FY25 at 25.8% — essentially flat, suggesting wage discipline but no structural improvement.

Growth Trajectory

FY26 revenue CAGR from a two-year lens is meaningful, but margin stagnation at 27.3% for two consecutive years signals topline-led growth without earnings quality improvement.
Air Catering’s 69% revenue surge (₹716 Cr → ₹1,210 Cr) and segment profit surge (₹155 Cr → ₹231 Cr, +48.8%) indicate inorganic expansion inflating reported growth.
Goodwill jumped from ₹711 Cr to ₹1,122 Cr (+57.8%) and intangibles from ₹575 Cr to ₹708 Cr — acquisition activity is reshaping the asset base, requiring scrutiny on returns generated.
