Shares of Data Patterns (India) Ltd surged 7.98% to Rs 3,015.10 on Thursday, November 13, following the company’s robust Q2 FY26 results announced a day earlier. The defence electronics manufacturer posted a 62.4% year-on-year (YoY) rise in net profit to Rs 49.2 crore, compared to Rs 30.3 crore in the same period last year.
Revenue from operations jumped 238% YoY to Rs 307.5 crore, driven by higher project execution, though margins contracted due to a low-margin strategic delivery. The company’s EBITDA rose 97.4% YoY to Rs 68.1 crore, while the EBITDA margin stood at 22.1%, down from 37.9% in Q2 FY25.
For the half year ended September 2025, total revenue increased 93% to Rs 423.3 crore, with PAT up 18% at Rs 74.7 crore. The company maintained a strong order book of Rs 737.25 crore, with an additional Rs 552.08 crore in negotiations, potentially taking the total order book to Rs 1,286.98 crore.
Management noted that the dip in margins was primarily due to the execution of a one-off, low-margin strategic contract and expressed confidence in returning to historical profitability levels in the coming quarters.
