Another section in the transcript-style notes mentioned exports contributing around 27% of total revenue in Q2FY25, up from 24% in Q1FY25, while also pointing to shipment delays and a negative year-on-year comparison for the international business.

Q1FY26: YoY margin improvement, sequential moderation

Key figures at a glance

Valuation and market metrics cited alongside results

The dataset attached to the share-price page listed a market capitalisation of ₹150.24 billion, indicated dividend yield of 0.45%, and a trailing P/E of 44.55. Basic EPS (TTM) was shown as ₹29.80, with a one-year beta of 1.20. Shares float was listed at 32.39 million. Another line stated the stock “currently trades at ₹1,536.8 per share,” reflecting the price at the time of that specific data capture.

Why this matters for investors tracking the cables theme

The reported Q4FY25 numbers combine two elements that equity markets typically watch closely in manufacturing and consumer-electrical supply chains: volume-led growth and margin expansion. In the company commentary, the W&C business was described as being driven by both volume and value, while copper price trends and the timing of pass-through were repeatedly flagged as meaningful to margins. The export share staying in the mid-to-high 20% range is also a key operating detail because it can change the mix of demand and working capital dynamics. In FMEG, the narrative was less about top-line acceleration and more about loss reduction, operational savings, and an explicit break-even ambition for FY26.

What to watch next

The share-price page data said next-quarter revenue is expected to reach about ₹20.77 billion. Investors will likely track whether Q4FY25’s margin level remains sustainable after the seasonally strong March quarter and amid any renewed volatility in copper prices. The company’s stated focus on scaling cable volumes while sustaining wire growth, and its FY26 break-even target for FMEG, are the two operating checkpoints repeated across the provided summaries.
