Nitin Spinners Q2 FY27: standalone PAT surges 155% YoY to ₹88.7 Cr, OPM expands to 17.8%

Nitin Spinners' standalone revenue from operations rose 29.6% YoY to ₹985.15 Cr in Q2 FY27 (quarter ended 30 September 2026), building on a 12.6% sequential gain over Q1 FY27's ₹875.03 Cr. Net profit more than doubled, up 154.9% YoY to ₹88.66 Cr (EPS ₹15.77) from ₹34.79 Cr (EPS ₹6.19) in Q2 FY26, and grew 17.8% QoQ from ₹75.27 Cr. Neither the current quarter nor either comparison quarter carries exceptional items, so the entire gain is operational — there is no one-off to strip out on either side. The profit outperformance against revenue came from margin recovery rather than a one-off: operating margin (EBITDA/revenue from operations) expanded to 17.81% from 13.10% a year ago, a roughly 470 bps YoY gain, while staying essentially flat against Q1 FY27's 17.78%. Net margin rose to 8.99% from 4.57% YoY and 8.58% QoQ. The driver sits on the materials line — cost of materials consumed eased to 61.9% of revenue from operations versus 66.0% a year ago — with modest operating leverage on employee costs (6.5% of revenue vs 7.2% YoY) adding to it; finance cost (₹19.93 Cr) and depreciation (₹38.21 Cr) both grew only marginally against both bases. Effective tax rate held steady near 25.5% across all three quarters. The 17.81% operating margin sits inside the 16–20% FY27 EBITDA margin band management reiterated on the August 2026 concall, but not yet near the top of it — the print is on track with, not ahead of, that guidance. Management's other FY27–28 guidance — new fabric capacity adding ₹500+ Cr of revenue by FY28, ₹50 Cr/year of renewable-energy savings from Q4 FY27, and a full yarn-capacity ramp by 31 March 2027 — are forward checkpoints not yet visible in this print. No confirmable brokerage consensus for this specific quarter turned up in search, so the result is not benchmarked against a street estimate here; management has also not issued a press release commentary on this result. The quarter's other corporate developments — a CRISIL 'Adequate' ESG rating (17 September) and the FY26 BRSR report release (25 August) — are routine disclosures with no bearing on the financials above. For H1 FY27, standalone revenue is up 19.8% YoY to ₹1,860.18 Cr and PAT up 116.4% YoY to ₹163.93 Cr versus H1 FY26's ₹75.77 Cr, a materially stronger margin trajectory than a year ago. The next checkpoints are whether OPM pushes toward the upper half of the 16–20% guided band as capacity utilization climbs further into FY28, and whether the guided renewable-energy savings show up from Q4 FY27 as stated.
