Shivam Autotech's standalone net loss widened 18.9% YoY to ₹20.99 Cr for Q1 FY27 (June 2026) from ₹17.66 Cr a year ago, even as revenue from operations grew 20.8% YoY to ₹109.58 Cr (₹90.73 Cr in Q1 FY26). Sequentially the loss narrowed 21.4% from ₹26.72 Cr in Q4 FY26, though that prior-quarter figure carried a ₹1.77 Cr one-off (labour-code impact and a permanent-workers' wage settlement) — stripping that out, the underlying QoQ narrowing is closer to 16%. Revenue was flat QoQ (+0.1%) against ₹109.43 Cr in Q4 FY26. There is no analyst coverage or consensus estimate on record for this stock and a web search turned up no Q1 FY27 preview, so vs-street stands unknown; the company also has no formal prior guidance on file.
Q1 FY-2027 vs prior quarters
Operating performance actually improved: company-disclosed EBITDA was ₹7.92 Cr, a 7.2% margin versus roughly 5.9% a year ago, and net margin was little changed at -19.2% versus -19.5% in Q1 FY26. The wider net loss was driven almost entirely by financing costs, which jumped 58.7% YoY to ₹20.48 Cr (from ₹12.90 Cr) — more than offsetting the operating-margin gain and outweighing the modest revenue growth; depreciation was roughly flat at ₹9.07 Cr. Tax expense was nil, with deferred tax assets of ₹19.89 Cr again not recognised on prudence grounds (unrecognised since FY21), so the loss flowed through at the pre-tax level.
Auditors flagged an Emphasis of Matter on the net loss and a negative net worth of ₹61.67 Cr as at June 30, 2026, though they noted the company met all debt obligations (principal and interest) during the quarter and prepared the results on a going-concern basis, citing management's plan for strategic refinancing of existing borrowings and better operational performance ahead — no numbers were attached to that outlook. Alongside the results, the board approved a ₹120 Cr (₹12,000 Lakh) rights issue (first flagged July 1, 2026) and a proposed increase in authorised share capital from ₹44 Cr to ₹55 Cr, both aimed at strengthening the balance sheet the negative net worth points to.

Execution and pricing of the ₹120 Cr rights issue approved July 1, 2026, and its effect on the ₹61.67 Cr negative net worth.
W2
Whether EBITDA margin (7.2% this quarter vs ~5.9% YoY) keeps improving enough to offset a ~₹20 Cr quarterly finance cost.
W3
Progress on the 'strategic refinancing of existing borrowings' management cites as the basis for its going-concern assessment.
