Bhatia Communications & Retail reported standalone unaudited results for Q2 FY26 (ended 30 Sept 2025). Revenue from operations jumped to Rs. 134.34 crore, up about 25% YoY from Rs. 107.32 crore in Q2 FY25, driven by stock-in-trade purchases of Rs. 147.78 crore. However, profit after tax rose only marginally to Rs. 3.73 crore from Rs. 3.66 crore (~1.9% YoY), as higher purchase costs, rising finance costs (Rs. 85.4 lakh vs Rs. 37.55 lakh) and depreciation weighed on margins. EBITDA margin compressed to roughly 4.7% from 5.4% YoY. For H1 FY26, revenue grew ~16% YoY to Rs. 245.88 crore while PAT was nearly flat at Rs. 7.31 crore. The board declared a 2nd interim dividend of Re. 0.01 (1%) per share of Re. 1 face value. The auditor (RPR & Co.) issued an unqualified limited review report.
Strong top-line growth shows the business is expanding, but flat profits and shrinking margins suggest cost pressures are eating into earnings. Rising debt (debt-equity ratio jumped to 0.27 from 0.09 in March 2025) and heavy inventory build-up warrant close watch. The dividend is token-level and unlikely to influence the stock price materially.
