Pearl Global Q1FY27: record ₹1,528 Cr revenue, consol PAT up 51% YoY, margins expand

Consolidated revenue came in at ₹1,528.26 Cr, up 24.5% YoY and 16.3% QoQ — the company's highest-ever quarterly revenue, as flagged in its own press release. Consolidated PAT was ₹99.23 Cr, up 51.4% YoY (22.5% QoQ); adjusted for small one-off items in both periods (₹2.73 Cr net loss this quarter vs ₹0.32 Cr a year ago, both from PP&E sale/property-tax settlement with a Municipal Corporation), adjusted YoY PAT growth is a marginally stronger ~54.8%. EPS rose to ₹21.77 from ₹14.76 YoY. Net profit margin expanded to 6.45% of total income from 5.29% YoY and 6.12% QoQ. Growth was broad-based across geographies: Vietnam's segment profit-before-tax-and-interest rose to ₹61.75 Cr from ₹38.17 Cr YoY (+62%), Bangladesh PBIT grew to ₹28.13 Cr from ₹19.13 Cr YoY (+47%), while Hong Kong PBIT was roughly flat at ₹25.06 Cr versus ₹42.53 Cr YoY (down, reflecting mix shift toward Vietnam/Bangladesh). Standalone (India-only) operations remain a small slice of the group — revenue ₹339.61 Cr and PAT ₹12.44 Cr — reinforcing that overseas subsidiaries are the primary growth engine. Management's press release framed the quarter as reflecting "the strength of our diversified manufacturing platform" amid an evolving trade and tariff environment — consistent with the print. Against the prior guidance of a full-year EBITDA margin of 10% for FY27 and a 12-14% revenue CAGR toward ₹6,000 Cr by FY28, Q1's 24.5% YoY revenue growth runs well ahead of the guided CAGR, and operating margin (by our calculation, EBITDA/total income) is tracking at roughly 11%, already above the 10% full-year target this early in the year — a beat on both fronts. No verifiable street consensus estimate specific to this quarter could be located, so vsStreet is marked unknown rather than assumed. Alongside results, the board approved a 1:1 bonus issue (shares expected credited by October 4, 2026, record date pending) and appointed Major General Sandeep Vohra as Whole-Time Director for three years, while deferring a proposed stock split. Going into Q2, the markers to watch are whether the ~11% operating margin holds as the ₹200-250 Cr FY27 capex (Bangladesh, Vietnam) ramps, and whether Vietnam's profit contribution keeps scaling at the pace seen this quarter.
