Synopsys:- A Tata Group stock surged up to 14% after turning profitable in Q4FY26, signalling operational recovery. Improved cost control, better execution, and a Rs 1 dividend announcement supported sentiment, despite margin pressures during the year.
The shares of the satellite communication services provider gained up to 14 percent in today’s trading session after the company became profitable in Q4FY26, compared to last year.
With a market capitalisation of Rs 1,680.35 crore, the shares of Nelco Ltd were trading at Rs 736.40 per share, increasing around 9 percent as compared to the previous closing price of Rs 675.15 apiece.
Q4FY26 Highlights
Nelco Ltd reported a modest topline performance in Q4FY26, with revenue rising slightly to Rs 79.18 crore from Rs 67.52 crore YoY, while sequential growth remained stable. However, the company showed improvement in profitability, turning from a loss of Rs 4.08 crore to a profit of Rs 1.09 crore, indicating better operational control.
Furthermore, on a full-year basis, revenue remained largely flat at Rs 307 crore compared to Rs 305 crore. Despite this, net profit declined from Rs 10 crore to Rs 3 crore, reflecting pressure on overall earnings. Nevertheless, the return to quarterly profitability and a stable revenue base suggest a gradual recovery and improving business fundamentals.
Between March 2025 and March 2026, operating performance showed pressure, with operating profit declining from Rs 6.44 crore to Rs 5.47 crore. Similarly, OPM fell from 9.54% to 6.91%, indicating margin compression. Despite some interim recovery during the year, overall efficiency weakened, reflecting higher costs and limited improvement in operating leverage.
The company’s turnaround on a consolidated basis was supported by improved operational momentum and better cost absorption during the quarter. Sequential recovery in business activity helped stabilise performance, while disciplined expense management and tighter control over overheads contributed to improved efficiency. This indicates a gradual normalisation of operations after weaker previous quarters.
Moreover, the improvement was aided by stronger execution across core segments and better utilisation of existing capacity. Reduced losses from earlier periods and improved operating leverage played a key role in the turnaround. However, underlying cost pressures and broader challenges remain, suggesting that sustaining this recovery will depend on consistent performance in the coming quarters.
Additionally, the board of directors recommended a final dividend of Rs 1 per share (10%) on equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 each for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing annual general meeting.
