Alicon Castalloy reported its highest ever quarterly topline of Rs.495 crore in Q4 FY26, up 16% YoY and 15% QoQ. For full year FY26, total income stood at Rs.1,784 crore, up 4% YoY. However, profitability faced pressure with EBITDA margin contracting to 9.3% in Q4 (vs 11.2% YoY) and 11.4% for FY26 (vs 11.5% YoY). PAT declined significantly to Rs.34 crore in FY26 from Rs.46 crore in FY25, impacted by higher aluminum prices, inflationary pressures in logistics and freight, and increased depreciation. The company booked 2 new parts in Q4, remains focused on carbon-neutral technologies like EV and hydrogen, and operates at 78% capacity utilization. Finance costs reduced by 24% YoY in Q4, and free cash flow improved sharply to Rs.915 crore from Rs.219 crore. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs.2 per share.
The stock faces pressure from margin compression due to rising aluminum costs and inflation, despite strong revenue growth driven by domestic automotive demand. However, improved cash generation and debt reduction are positives for the balance sheet. The margin pressure is likely to weigh on near-term sentiment.
