Shiv Aum Steels Q2FY27: revenue +45% YoY, PAT recovers to ₹3.45 Cr as margins expand

Shiv Aum Steels posted consolidated revenue of ₹166.18 Cr for Q2 FY27 (quarter ended September 30, 2026), up 45.3% YoY from ₹114.38 Cr and up 14.1% QoQ from ₹145.60 Cr. Consolidated PAT came in at ₹3.45 Cr against ₹0.66 Cr a year ago (+420% YoY) but down 9.0% sequentially from ₹3.79 Cr in Q1 FY27. There are no exceptional or extraordinary items in either the current or comparative periods, so this is an operating swing, not a one-off — the YoY jump is real but is also measured off an unusually thin year-ago base, since Q2 FY26 net margin was just 0.58%. The margin story is the quarter's real driver: consolidated NPM expanded to 2.07% from 0.58% a year ago, and PBT margin to 2.73% from 0.77%, on essentially flat cost ratios — total expenses stayed in the 97-98% of total income range both periods, so the swing came from scale (revenue growing faster than fixed costs) rather than any specific cost line. Sequentially, though, margins compressed — NPM was 2.60% and PBT margin 3.48% in Q1 FY27 — consistent with the thin, volatile margins typical of a steel-trading business (the company does not operate under Ind AS-108 segment reporting, being a single-segment trader) rather than a sign of deterioration. We hold no prior management guidance or concall commentary on record for this company, and management's filing itself carries no outlook commentary — just the standard SEBI-mandated numbers and notes, so there is nothing from management to grade the print against. A web check for analyst estimates found zero analyst coverage of Shiv Aum Steels, consistent with its small-cap, thinly-tracked profile, so there is no street consensus to benchmark against either; both vsGuidance and vsStreet are unknown here, not a hidden beat or miss. The quarter's one corporate development — the board's same-day approval of a 1:5 stock split (face value ₹10 to ₹2, pending shareholder and record-date formalities) — is a liquidity/affordability measure disclosed alongside the results and carries no bearing on the P&L. Going into Q3 FY27, the setup is a revenue run-rate near ₹166 Cr (up from ~₹146 Cr in Q1) with margins that have oscillated between roughly 0.6% and 2.6% NPM over the last four quarters — whether the current ~2% level holds or reverts toward the thinner end of that range is the open question, not whether growth itself continues.
