Forbes & Company reported a sharp fall in revenue in Q2 FY26, with standalone revenue from operations dropping to Rs. 1,813 lakhs from Rs. 3,422 lakhs in Q2 FY25, mainly because real estate revenue halved to Rs. 967 lakhs. The Coding and Industrial Automation segment stayed flat at around Rs. 846 lakhs. Despite the revenue dip, standalone profit after tax rose slightly to Rs. 604 lakhs (Q2 FY25: Rs. 573 lakhs), and H1 FY26 PAT came in at Rs. 1,001 lakhs versus Rs. 1,106 lakhs last year. On a consolidated basis, H1 FY26 PAT grew to Rs. 1,119 lakhs from Rs. 1,042 lakhs, helped by a positive share from joint ventures and associates. Operating cash flow turned positive at Rs. 695 lakhs compared to an outflow of Rs. 1,627 lakhs in H1 FY25. The auditor (Sharp & Tannan Associates) issued a clean limited review with no qualifications.
The big drop in real estate revenue is the main worry, as it is the larger segment and earnings depend heavily on project completions, which are lumpy. Stable coding business and better cash flow are positives, but shareholders should watch for the pace of new real estate handovers and ongoing legal matters related to Svadeshi Mills and the erstwhile subsidiary Forbes Technosys.
