Sterling Tools Q2 FY27 Results: Key Dates and Q1 Signals

Board meeting set for October 27

Sterling Tools Ltd is scheduled to consider and approve its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the second quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The board meeting is set for October 27, 2026. The announcement places the company among more than 100 companies due to report quarterly earnings that day. The September quarter is Q2 of FY27 and covers July to September 2026. The company has not provided the Q2 financial figures in the information available before the meeting. Investors will therefore await the formal filing for reported income, profitability, margins and business-level commentary.

Q2 release covers standalone and consolidated accounts

The board will review both standalone and consolidated financial statements. Standalone performance principally reflects the company’s fasteners business, while consolidated figures also include its electric-mobility related subsidiaries. This distinction matters because the two sets of accounts can show different growth and profit trends. Sterling Tools said its standalone fasteners business had strong momentum in Q1 FY27. Its EV subsidiaries, Sterling E-Mobility and Sterling Tech-Mobility, remained in an investment phase. The company said these businesses are currently loss-making due to past customer in-sourcing and continuing research and development investment.

Earnings call follows on October 28

Sterling Tools has scheduled an earnings conference call for October 28, 2026, at 11:00 AM IST. Management is expected to discuss financial and operational performance for Q2 and H1 FY27 on the call. Shareholders, investors and analysts have been invited to join through pre-registration and dial-in arrangements announced by the company. The call is likely to provide detail beyond the financial statements, including operational developments and management commentary. It will follow the board’s consideration of the results on October 27. No Q2 guidance or final operating figures have been disclosed in the supplied information ahead of the meeting.

Q1 FY27 showed higher total income and PAT

For Q1 FY27, Sterling Tools reported total income of ₹201.9 crore, up 23.7% year-on-year. The company said this improvement was driven by momentum in the standalone fasteners business. EBITDA rose 26.9% year-on-year to ₹31.1 crore. EBITDA margin improved to 15.4% from 15.0% a year earlier. Profit after tax increased 48.4% year-on-year to ₹16.4 crore, while PAT margin improved to 8.1%. These reported Q1 figures form the immediate base for assessing the September-quarter release.

Sequential Q1 movement was mixed

The available Q1 FY27 comparison shows revenue of ₹201.86 crore, down 2.9% from Q4 FY26 and up 23.7% from Q1 FY26. Net profit was ₹16.40 crore, down 31.2% sequentially and up 48.4% year-on-year. Expenditure was ₹179.89 crore, also down 2.9% sequentially and up 21.3% year-on-year. The company separately described total income at ₹201.9 crore, which is broadly in line with the reported revenue figure after rounding. The sequential comparison shows that the year-on-year improvement did not translate into growth from the March quarter on these measures. The Q2 results will show whether the June-quarter pattern changed during July to September.

Key reported figures at a glance

All monetary figures in the table are presented in ₹ crore. The company also stated that it remained net debt free and strongly cash generative in Q1 FY27. That balance-sheet position is relevant as Sterling Tools continues investment in its mobility businesses. The Q2 filing will provide the next reported position on profitability and financial performance. It will also clarify the contribution from standalone operations and subsidiaries for the first half of FY27.

EV subsidiaries remain an important factor

Sterling E-Mobility and Sterling Tech-Mobility are targeting revenue growth of 20% to 30% in FY27, according to the company’s Q1 commentary. Sterling Tools said the two subsidiaries are expected to break even by FY28. New customer wins and capacity expansion were cited as areas of progress. However, the company also noted that the businesses were loss-making at the time of the Q1 update. Past customer in-sourcing and research and development spending were identified as factors behind those losses. The consolidated Q2 numbers will be watched for any updated commentary on these operations.

Recent quarterly record provides context

The quarterly financial data supplied for June 2026 shows revenue of ₹217 crore. Earlier figures included ₹234 crore in March 2026 and ₹209 crore in December 2025. The same data set lists operating profit of ₹22.67 crore for June 2026, compared with ₹7.96 crore in March 2026. Operating profit margin was 10.59% in June 2026, versus 3.59% in March 2026. These data points provide historical context but should not be treated as the company’s pending Q2 FY27 result. The official September-quarter release will be the relevant update for current financial performance.

Trading window remains closed through October 29

Sterling Tools said its trading window closed on October 1, 2026, for directors, designated persons and their immediate relatives. It will remain closed until October 29, 2026, under the company’s code of conduct. Such closures are customary around the release of unpublished price-sensitive information. The timing covers the period before and immediately after the board meeting. The company’s announcement also referred to other business matters that may be considered by the board. No details of those matters were provided in the supplied information.

What investors can track in the results

The Q2 announcement will provide the formal figures for the quarter and the April-September FY27 period. Key items to monitor include standalone and consolidated income, EBITDA, profit after tax and margins. Commentary on the fasteners business will be relevant after the 23.7% year-on-year rise in Q1 total income. Updates on the revenue-growth target for SEM and STML, their capacity expansion and their path to FY28 break-even will also be material. The October 28 conference call is the next scheduled forum for management to discuss the reported results and operational performance.
