Krystal Integrat Q2 FY27 Results (NSE: KRYSTAL)
Signal: Growth reaccelerated
The read
The key inflection is demand momentum rather than margin: revenue growth accelerated sharply to 46.25% YoY from 11.8% in Q1FY27 on new customers and larger orders, but EBITDA margin fell 32bps YoY and QoQ to 6.00%, showing that rapid scaling has not yet produced operating-margin expansion. H1 revenue reached ₹7,751.78 million, +27.82% YoY, while H1 EBITDA grew 21.39%, slower than revenue.

| Net profit | ₹18.67 Cr | 41.66% | |

| EBIT margin | 6.00% |
