Shares of Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Ltd. declined sharply by 10% intraday after the company announced its Q1 FY26 results. Despite a marginal rise in net profit, weak revenue and margin performance weighed on investor sentiment.
In Q1 FY26, the company posted a net profit of ₹28 crore, marking a 3.7% year-on-year increase from ₹27 crore in Q1 FY25. However, revenue from operations slipped 1.2% to ₹272 crore compared to ₹275.3 crore in the same quarter last year.
Operationally, the company faced headwinds. EBITDA dropped 8.7% to ₹35.8 crore, down from ₹39.2 crore YoY. Margins also weakened, falling to 13.2% from 14.2% a year ago, pointing to rising input or operating costs.
