Precision Wires Q1 FY27: standalone PAT up 71% YoY to ₹46.5 Cr, but slips 15% QoQ

Precision Wires India's standalone PAT for Q1 FY27 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) came in at ₹46.45 Cr, up 71.5% YoY from ₹27.09 Cr, on revenue from operations of ₹1,770.48 Cr, up 60.4% YoY from ₹1,103.76 Cr. Basic EPS was ₹2.54 versus ₹1.52 a year ago. There is no formal management guidance or prior concall outlook on record, and management's own commentary on this print is limited to the regulatory filing itself — no separate press release has been extracted. A web search for Street/consensus estimates for this quarter turned up no analyst previews or coverage; PRECWIRE appears to have no tracked consensus, so the print cannot be graded against Street expectations (vsStreet: unknown). On margins, raw material consumed grew 67.3% YoY (₹1,770.37 Cr vs ₹1,058.10 Cr) — faster than revenue — but a large ₹144.85 Cr net drawdown in finished-goods/WIP inventory (versus a ₹50.67 Cr drawdown a year ago) and a slower rise in finance costs cushioned the P&L, leaving net profit margin at 2.61% versus 2.43% in the year-ago quarter, a modest YoY expansion. Sequentially, however, NPM compressed from 3.11% in Q4 FY26, and PAT fell 15.3% QoQ (from ₹54.87 Cr) even as revenue was roughly flat QoQ (+1.6%) — a genuine sequential softening rather than a seasonality artifact, since QoQ moved against the company this time. The results were announced alongside three concurrent board actions: approval of a ₹150 Cr issue of 12% Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (37.5 lakh CCDs at ₹400 face value) to Anchorage Capital Scheme III and AADI Financial Advisors LLP, earmarked for expansion/capex and working capital; an upward revision of the Silvassa expansion and modernization project to 4,620 MT/PA capacity (from 3,920 MT/PA) at a project cost of ₹38 Cr, taking net effective installed capacity to 69,200 MT/PA by end-FY28; and a CFO transition, with Mohandas Pai retiring after 29 years and Deputy CFO Krina Parekh elevated to CFO, both effective from the conclusion of the 37th AGM held the same day. None of these are exceptional P&L items in this quarter — the extraordinary-items line is nil for all periods shown — but the CCD raise and capacity expansion are the capital-allocation story sitting alongside this print.
