Markolines Pavem Q1 FY27 Results (NSE: MARKOLINES)
Signal: Margin expansion
The read
Q1FY27 marks a YoY margin recovery, with consolidated EBITDA margin expanding to 12.4% from 9.0% and EBITDA rising 27.7% despite revenue growth slowing to 4.3% from 46.0% in Q1FY26; however, standalone revenue fell 15.3% and 30% of consolidated PBT came from other income, so the durability of the operating improvement remains unproven.
