PIX TRANSMISSIONS LTD. Q1 FY27 Results

PIX Transmissions' consolidated Q1 FY27 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) results show revenue from operations of ₹149.25 Cr, up 22.8% YoY from ₹121.54 Cr, and PAT of ₹52.75 Cr, up 89.3% YoY from ₹27.86 Cr. The reported PAT jump is materially inflated by a ₹25.29 Cr fair-value (FVTPL) gain on investments sitting inside other income this quarter (Note 3) — stripping that one-off out, PBT normalises to about ₹41.35 Cr and adjusted PAT works out to roughly ₹32.73 Cr, an adjusted YoY growth of about +17.5%, still healthy but far more modest than the headline. Standalone tells the same story: PAT of ₹48.29 Cr on revenue of ₹134.53 Cr, +97.8% YoY reported, similarly flattered by the same FVTPL gain; consolidated is the primary basis here and the two don't diverge materially in direction.

The more durable story is margin expansion: operating margin (OPM — revenue less cost of materials/purchases/inventory change/employee costs/other opex, excluding other income, finance cost and depreciation) rose to 30.6% from 22.7% a year ago, a genuine ~790bps expansion untouched by the FVTPL swing since that gain sits below the operating line. Employee costs fell to about 17.8% of consolidated revenue from 20.8% a year ago and other opex to about 20.0% from 22.0%, consistent with operating leverage as volumes grew. The QoQ comparison needs more caution: reported PAT looks up 160.9% versus Q4 FY26's ₹20.22 Cr, but Q4 FY26 carried an offsetting ₹22.52 Cr FVTPL loss booked in other expenses that suppressed that quarter's PBT. Adjusting both quarters for their FVTPL entries, PAT was roughly flat to slightly down sequentially (~-6.8%), and Q4 FY26's OPM was already near 31.2% once its FVTPL loss is added back — the underlying margin profile looks stable around 30-31% across the last two quarters rather than newly breaking out.

The stock went into the print at ₹1,725, down 3.2% over the past month of trading.

For context: this is the highest quarterly PAT in the last 6 quarters on our records.

Consolidated basic EPS ₹38.71 (not annualised) vs ₹20.45 a year ago and ₹14.84 in Q4 FY26.

There is no formal management guidance on record for this quarter, and a web search turned up no analyst consensus estimates or brokerage preview specific to this print — coverage on this small-cap name appears too thin for a reliable street comparison, so vsGuidance and vsStreet are both marked unknown rather than guessed. No press release or management commentary accompanying this filing was available to extract at write time. Concurrently the company had already fixed a ₹9/share FY26 dividend (record date July 14, 2026) and filed its FY26 annual report and BRSR report in the weeks before this result — none of which bear directly on the Q1 print. The consolidated statement folds in four overseas units (PIX Middle East FZC and its UAE step-down, PIX Transmissions Europe UK and its Germany step-down); the auditors flag that one subsidiary's unaudited numbers (₹28.23 Cr revenue, ₹2.92 Cr PAT) were furnished by management and not independently reviewed. Going into Q2 FY27, the key question is whether the ~30-31% operating margin holds without the cushion or drag of further investment mark-to-market swings, and whether the 22.8% YoY revenue pace continues off a base that grew only modestly sequentially this quarter.
