Sambhv Steel Q1 FY27 Results (NSE: SAMBHV)
Signal: Growth decelerated
The read
The quarter continued the recent revenue expansion, with consolidated revenue up 31.07% YoY to ₹7,321.73 million, but the margin trajectory is less clean: gross margin contracted 640bps as material cost reached 72.29% of revenue, while EBITDA margin held at 13.7% after 13% in Q1FY26 and Q4FY26. PAT growth of 69.25% was aided by finance costs falling 34.72%, but EPS growth of 38.13% lagged because of the enlarged equity base.
