STOVEC INDUSTRIES LTD. Q1 FY27 Results

Stovec Industries' standalone revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27) was ₹52.77 Cr, down 7.0% YoY from ₹56.75 Cr, though up 13.0% QoQ from ₹46.69 Cr. Standalone PAT of ₹2.45 Cr fell 17.1% YoY from ₹2.96 Cr (up 47.4% QoQ from ₹1.66 Cr) — but the YoY PAT decline overstates operational weakness: other income dropped to ₹0.66 Cr from ₹1.75 Cr a year ago, largely because the year-ago quarter carried an unrealised forex gain (cash-flow shows a ~₹1.75 Cr FX gain embedded in H1 FY26 versus a ~₹0.10 Cr FX loss in H1 FY27). Stripping out other income, core PBT actually rose ~19.8% YoY (₹2.60 Cr vs ₹2.17 Cr, adjusted PAT ~+19% YoY), and operating margin (EBITDA/revenue) expanded to 7.41% from 6.42% YoY and from 5.71% in the prior quarter — cost of materials rose a modest 2.9% YoY and employee costs 5.8% YoY, both slower than the margin gain, pointing to genuine operating leverage rather than a one-off cost benefit.

Both reporting segments were soft on revenue: Textile Machinery & Consumables (the larger segment) fell 7.0% YoY to ₹50.33 Cr, and Graphics Consumables fell 7.5% YoY to ₹2.43 Cr — the topline decline is broad-based, not segment-specific. There is no formal management guidance or analyst/street consensus on record for this small-cap name (total assets ₹179.7 Cr), and no separate press release accompanied the filing — only the board outcome letter and the financial statement, so management's own framing of the quarter is unavailable. Alongside the results, the board appointed Marcos Marti Erfurt, CEO of parent SPGPrints B.V., as an Additional Non-Executive Director, and the promoter group (Print I B.V.) separately disclosed a shareholder agreement and share encumbrance on August 10 — both governance items are unrelated to the quarter's operating numbers and carry no disclosed financial terms.

The stock went into the print at ₹1,700, down 1.7% over the past month of trading.
