🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from Operations surged 55.3% YoY (₹1,73,545 L → ₹2,69,591 L), driven almost entirely by captive power project sales (₹1,51,806 L → ₹2,44,646 L, +61.2%).
Q4FY26 revenue of ₹79,581 L grew 39.8% YoY and 20.0% QoQ, confirming accelerating quarterly momentum.
Power & services revenue grew modestly (+14.3% YoY), signalling the EPC/CPP segment is the dominant growth engine.

Bottomline

PAT grew 56.6% YoY (₹32,528 L → ₹50,924 L); Q4FY26 PAT of ₹15,548 L grew 49.2% YoY and 23.6% QoQ.
Deferred tax liability of ₹14,631 L (FY26) vs. ₹6,704 L (FY25) inflated tax outgo significantly; cash tax paid was only ₹3,850 L — PAT quality is supported by timing differences, not aggressive provisioning.
Basic EPS rose from ₹16.23 to ₹24.13 (+48.7%), on a nearly flat share count — no dilution drag on per-share earnings.

Margins

EBIT margin (segment results before unallocable): Segment profit ₹78,675 L on revenue ₹2,69,591 L = 29.2%, up from ₹51,466 L / ₹1,73,545 L = 29.7% — effectively flat, suggesting scale hasn’t yet translated to margin expansion.
PBT margin: ₹69,091 L / ₹2,74,152 L = 25.2% vs. ₹44,091 L / ₹1,75,516 L = 25.1% — remarkably stable despite a 3x rise in interest costs (₹4,504 L → ₹14,147 L).
PAT margin: ₹50,924 L / ₹2,74,152 L = 18.6% vs. ₹32,528 L / ₹1,75,516 L = 18.5% — near-perfect margin retention at scale.

Growth Trajectory

Total assets doubled YoY (₹4,79,207 L → ₹9,88,206 L, +106%), reflecting an aggressive capacity-build cycle — asset base growing faster than revenue.
Q4 sequential revenue growth (+20% QoQ) and PAT growth (+23.6% QoQ) indicate the ramp is still in progress, not plateauing.
Long-term borrowings surged from ₹86,160 L to ₹3,66,600 L (+325%) — the company is bet-sizing its next growth leg through debt-funded capex.

3-Scenario Framework

📊 Base Case (60% Probability)

Transmission capacity in Khavda expands on schedule (14–15 GW by Mar 2027), enabling 5 GW annual RE additions and 10 GWh BESS deployment. Curtailment losses abate to by FY28. Blended PPA rates stabilize at INR 2.80–3.10/unit, supporting 20%+ EBITDA growth and margin stability at ~90%. BESS economics meet targets (INR 25 lakh/MWh EBITDA).

WAAREERTL – Waaree Renewable Technologies – Q4 FY26 Earnings Call – 17-Apr-26

Waaree’s topline growth is order-book-dependent, with FY27 revenue hinging on 36 GWp pipeline conversions, while bottomline resilience relies on 15%+ EBITDA discipline and IPP/O&M recurring revenue streams; margins face cyclical pressure if competitive bidding intensifies or module costs surge.

3-Scenario Framework

📊 Base Case (50% Probability)

Key Variables: Order conversion rate ~30% for domestic pipeline, BESS tenders materialize in H2 FY27, module cost increases passed through.
Outcome: Revenue grows 15–20% YoY in FY27, driven by 2.8 GWp execution + 1–1.5 GWp new orders. EBITDA margins stabilize at 18–19%; OCF turns positive as IPP assets ramp. Valuation supported by order book visibility and IPP recurring revenue.

ADANIGREEN – Adani Green Energy – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 24-Apr-26

Adani Green’s FY26 shows capacity build‑out with OCF support, but equity story hinges on tariff‑debt spread narrowing. Flat PAT masks progress: capacity growth, easing NCI dilution, rising equity share. Risks: DISCOM receivables, ₹98,000+ Cr debt refinancing, CWIP conversion. PAT margin inflection likely FY28–29 as capex moderates.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Core power supply revenue grew 22% YoY (₹9,495 Cr → ₹11,602 Cr), reflecting new capacity additions coming online.
Equipment/goods sales fell 53% YoY (₹1,552 Cr → ₹724 Cr) as fewer EPC-type pass-through contracts were executed; total revenue still rose 11% (₹12,422 Cr → ₹13,819 Cr).
Q4 FY26 was seasonally the strongest quarter (₹3,727 Cr vs ₹2,837 Cr in Q3), driven by higher solar irradiation and wind output.

Bottomline

Consolidated PAT flat at ₹1,987 Cr vs ₹2,001 Cr — topline growth fully absorbed by rising finance costs (₹5,492 Cr → ₹6,484 Cr, +18%) and depreciation (₹2,498 Cr → ₹3,372 Cr, +35%).
PAT attributable to equity holders grew 17% (₹1,495 Cr → ₹1,753 Cr at TCI level), with NCI share declining — a structurally positive shift for listed shareholders.
EPS improved to ₹9.65 from ₹8.37 despite a marginally larger share count (1,647 Cr vs 1,584 Cr shares), signalling earnings accretion from equity raised.

Margins

Operating profit before working capital (from cash flow): ₹10,912 Cr on total income of ₹13,819 Cr → implied operating cash margin ~79%, up from ~73% (₹9,046 Cr / ₹12,422 Cr) — reflecting high operating leverage of renewable assets.
Finance costs consume ~47% of operating cash profit (₹6,484 Cr / ₹10,912 Cr), leaving thin residual for equity holders after debt service.
Net profit margin: 14.4% (₹1,987 Cr / ₹13,819 Cr), roughly unchanged from 16.1% in FY25 — debt burden is the primary margin suppressor.

Growth Trajectory

Power generation segment revenue grew 26% YoY (₹9,679 Cr → ₹12,227 Cr), outpacing total revenue growth — core business is accelerating as the equipment pass-through segment shrinks.
Capex of ~₹26,097 Cr in FY26 vs ₹24,776 Cr in FY25 confirms unrelenting capacity build-out; PPE grew from ₹76,218 Cr → ₹97,070 Cr (+27%) and CWIP from ₹14,479 Cr → ₹19,016 Cr, signalling strong near-term visibility.
Operating cash flows grew 13% (₹8,957 Cr → ₹10,135 Cr), tracking asset base expansion — a healthy sign that deployed capacity is generating proportionate cash.

WAAREERTL – Waaree Renewable Technologies – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 16-Apr-26

WAAREERTL’s FY26 doubled revenue with stable 19.5% EBITDA and no dilution, underscoring high‑quality EPS. Yet cash flow lags: receivables stretch, inventory spikes, FCF declines. FY27 hinges on cash conversion—normalize collections and premium valuation holds; persistently stretched cycles risk debt or dilution.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue from Operations grew 108.5% YoY — from ₹1,59,774.79 Lakh in FY25 to ₹3,33,142.22 Lakh in FY26. This is not incremental growth; it is a near-exact doubling of the business in one year.
The growth is almost entirely driven by the EPC Contracts segment, which grew from ₹1,57,236.41 Lakh to ₹3,30,487.06 Lakh — a 110% jump. Power Sale revenue grew modestly from ₹2,538.38 Lakh to ₹2,655.16 Lakh (4.6%), confirming WRTL is overwhelmingly an EPC execution machine, not a power generation business.
Other Income grew 38% from ₹1,480.21 Lakh to ₹2,042.56 Lakh — this is treasury income (interest on bank deposits and investments), which is a byproduct of the large cash balance, not core operations.

Bottomline

PAT (attributable to owners) grew 108.9% — from ₹22,916.09 Lakh to ₹47,869.54 Lakh — almost perfectly mirroring revenue growth. This is a healthy sign; profitability scaled proportionally, not by financial engineering.
Basic EPS grew 108.7% from ₹22.00 to ₹45.91. Share count barely moved (from 10.42 Cr to 10.43 Cr shares), so EPS growth is real and not diluted. This is shareholder-friendly.
Effective tax rate edged up slightly from 23.8% in FY25 to 25.2% in FY26 — a marginal headwind on PAT, but not material.
FY25 PAT was burdened by an exceptional loss of ₹401.88 Lakh. FY26 had no exceptional item, making the FY26 earnings base cleaner.

Margins

EBITDA (PBIT + D&A): FY26 = ₹64,823.41 Lakh, FY25 = ₹31,086.67 Lakh.
EBITDA Margin: FY26 = 19.5%, FY25 = 19.5% — dead flat, to the decimal point.
EBIT (PBEIT) Margin: FY26 = 19.2%, FY25 = 19.1% — effectively unchanged.
PAT Margin: FY26 = 14.37%, FY25 = 14.33% — again, essentially flat.
The single root cause behind this margin stability: Cost of EPC Contracts as a percentage of revenue barely moved — 78.2% in FY26 vs 77.5% in FY25. WRTL is executing at scale without giving up pricing or absorbing disproportionate cost inflation. Economies of scale are neither expanding nor compressing margins — the business appears to operate on standardized, contract-locked margins.
Finance costs fell in absolute terms from ₹1,483.82 Lakh to ₹1,328.83 Lakh, and as a percentage of revenue from 0.93% to 0.40% — a genuine margin tailwind from deleveraging.
Employee costs as a percentage of revenue fell from 1.85% to 1.47% — operating leverage at work.

Growth Trajectory

The growth rate of 108.5% in FY26 is extraordinary but comes off a base that itself grew sharply. The key investor question is: can this be sustained, or is it a one-cycle burst?

The balance sheet and cash flows hold the answer.

ADANIGREEN – Q3 FY26 Earnings Call – 23-Jan-26

ADANIGREEN’s topline growth hinges on grid evacuation timing and merchant price recovery, while bottomline resilience depends on storage arbitrage execution and commodity cost containment; margins remain structurally high (90%+) but face cyclical pressure from wind volatility and merchant pricing.

1–2 minutes
