Financial Highlights
In Q1FY26, the company posted revenues of Rs. 122 crore, marking a YoY growth of 20.8% over Rs. 101 crore in Q1FY25 and showing sequential QoQ decline of 15.3% compared to Rs. 144 crore in Q4FY25. For profit, Q1FY26 stood at Rs. 46 crore up 27.8% YoY from Rs. 36 crore in Q1FY25, but down 6.1% QoQ from Rs. 49 crore in Q4FY25. This indicates robust annual momentum but a sequential slowdown, which can be typical due to seasonality or cyclical dynamics.
Over the past three years, the company has delivered a profit CAGR of 26%, sales CAGR of 32%, and a 3-year ROE CAGR of 19%, reflecting strong medium-term growth and profitability. While YoY comparisons highlight sustainable long-term growth, the QoQ drop in both revenue and profit warrants tracking for signs of short-term volatility and operational trends.
