Marsons Q1 FY27 Results (NSE: MARSONS)
Signal: Margin pressure
The read
The trajectory weakened materially after Q4FY26: revenue growth decelerated to 4.7% YoY from 56.7% in Q1FY26 and 66.1% in Q4FY26, EBITDA margin fell to 16.2% from 17.6% estimated on the year-ago base, and PAT declined 26.2%; the immediate thesis hinge is whether the recent transformer orders convert into revenue and restore margin rather than merely expand the order pipeline.

|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹49.26 Cr | 4.7% | -46.8% |
| EBIT | ₹7.75 Cr | -4.7% | |
| Net profit | ₹5.93 Cr | -26.2% | |
| EPS | ₹0.34 | -27.7% | |
| EBIT margin | 16.2% |
