Forbes Precision Tools reported Q3 FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 6,437 lakhs, up about 12% from Rs 5,741 lakhs in Q3 FY25, but profit after tax fell roughly 13.5% YoY to Rs 559 lakhs (vs Rs 646 lakhs). For the nine months ended Dec 2025, revenue rose about 8% YoY to Rs 18,005 lakhs, while PAT declined nearly 10% to Rs 1,771 lakhs. Sequentially, Q3 PAT dropped sharply from Rs 830 lakhs in Q2 FY26, and PBT margin compressed to about 12.5% from around 17.5% a year ago. The company absorbed a one-time Rs 387 lakh past service cost arising from the new Labour Codes notified in November 2025, which was charged to employee benefit expense. Auditor Sharp & Tannan Associates issued an unqualified limited review report with no modifications or emphasis of matter. An interim dividend of Rs 5 per share was declared earlier in FY26.
Revenue growth is healthy but profitability is under clear pressure, with both YoY and QoQ PAT declines and visible margin compression — shareholders should watch whether margin recovery follows in Q4. The one-time Labour Code charge is non-recurring but highlights rising employee cost obligations going forward.
