Greaves Cotton Q1 FY27: Profit jumps, Aug 5 call

What the company reported for the June quarter

Greaves Cotton Limited reported a sharp improvement in profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, alongside year-on-year revenue growth. The company also scheduled its Q1 FY27 earnings call for August 5, 2026, giving investors and analysts a formal forum to review the quarter’s operating and financial metrics.

In market reaction to the quarterly update, Greaves Cotton surged 13.32% to ₹239.55, reflecting a strong near-term response to the profit jump and margin improvement disclosed in the data. The quarter’s headline numbers show higher profit despite a sequential drop in revenue.

Q1 headline performance: revenue up YoY, down QoQ

For the quarter, total revenue was reported at ₹745.43 crore, up 16.53% year-on-year from ₹639.70 crore. On a sequential basis, the same table set showed revenue at ₹1,000.26 crore in the prior quarter, implying a 9.41% quarter-on-quarter decline in Q1.

Operating performance improved materially year-on-year. Operating income was listed at ₹29.85 crore versus ₹1.24 crore in the year-ago quarter, while net income was reported at ₹33.09 crore versus ₹10.32 crore in the year-ago period. Net income before taxes (PBT) was stated at ₹43.02 crore.

Cost and margin indicators highlighted in the release

Operating expenses were reported at ₹715.58 crore for the quarter, lower than ₹975.75 crore in the prior quarter, and higher than ₹638.46 crore in the year-ago quarter. Depreciation and amortization was ₹26.56 crore. Selling, general and administrative expenses were listed at ₹90.21 crore.

Separately, the market update highlighted that EBITDA rose 109% year-on-year to ₹57 crore, while EBITDA margin improved to 7.6% from 4.3% a year ago. It also cited lower raw material costs, with RMC at 64.9% versus 67.4% year-on-year, alongside “improved cost efficiencies” as factors supporting operating performance.

A note on differing profit figures across datasets

The provided financial datasets include two different profit figures for the same broad period.

• One section reports net income of ₹33.09 crore on revenue of ₹745.43 crore for the June quarter.
• Another section titled “Financial Statements for Q1 FY 2025-26” reports profit after tax (PAT) of ₹20.85 crore, with total income of ₹763.47 crore, total expenses of ₹719.93 crore, tax of ₹22.17 crore, and PBT of ₹43.02 crore.

Both sets are presented in the source text. The earnings call on August 5, 2026 is likely to help reconcile how the company is presenting profitability across “net income” and PAT in different summaries.

Segment and business drivers cited

The Q1 FY26 segment highlights included in the text point to broad-based growth in engineering and electric mobility. The Engineering Division recorded 30% year-on-year revenue growth, attributed to a 46% rise in automotive engine sales and a 30% rise in genset sales.

Greaves Electric Mobility (GEML) revenue contribution was stated at ₹137 crore, with a 39% increase in the segment driven by demand for the Magnus Neo electric two-wheeler.

FY26 context: annual revenue and profitability metrics

The text also includes FY26 performance highlights. For FY26, consolidated revenue was reported at ₹3,436.62 crore, up 18% year-on-year from ₹2,918.44 crore. Annual EBITDA was reported at ₹239 crore, and operating PBT at ₹154 crore.

Standalone revenue for FY26 was listed at ₹2,364.56 crore, up 19% year-on-year from ₹1,988.02 crore. The FY26 summary also mentions a dividend of ₹2, alongside standalone net profit of ₹200.07 crore.

Greaves Cotton said it will host its Q1 FY27 earnings call on August 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM IST to review quarterly performance. The company described the call as an opportunity for investors and analysts to review operational and financial metrics for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Why the update matters for investors

The combination of year-on-year revenue growth and stronger operating metrics is central to the market reaction captured in the source text. Margin improvement, aided by lower raw material cost share and cost efficiencies, is another key data point because it suggests profitability improved faster than revenue.

At the same time, the sequential revenue dip reported alongside higher EBITDA and operating PBT indicates that investors may focus on the sustainability of margins and segment momentum, particularly in engineering and electric mobility. The August 5 earnings call becomes important as it is the next scheduled checkpoint for management commentary on quarterly drivers and the reported financial line items.

Closing summary

Greaves Cotton’s June quarter update shows higher year-on-year revenue and a sharp improvement in profitability and margins, alongside a strong one-day stock move cited in the data. The company’s next formal update is the Q1 FY27 earnings call on August 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM IST, where investors can track management’s commentary on performance and outlook based on reported metrics.
