Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works reported strong consolidated results for Q3 FY26 (Dec 2025). Revenue from operations jumped ~56% YoY to Rs 9,001.47 lakhs, while 9M FY26 revenue rose ~23% to Rs 18,866.28 lakhs. Profit after tax (post minority interest) more than doubled sequentially to Rs 3,042.64 lakhs in Q3 vs Rs 1,594.90 lakhs in Q3 last year, taking 9M FY26 PAT to Rs 5,259.65 lakhs (up ~35% YoY). The Dredging segment remains the biggest revenue earner; the new Ship Building and Repairing segment (post acquisition of Kamal Marine/Knowledge Shipyard in Aug 2025) contributed Rs 2,658.10 lakhs in Q3. Standalone numbers are even sharper: Q3 PAT of Rs 3,020.06 lakhs (vs Rs 1,005.78 lakhs a year ago). The board also approved a postal ballot to raise the company's borrowing limit from Rs 500 Cr to Rs 1,200 Cr, and noted the recent 1:2 stock split.
Strong double-digit revenue and profit growth is positive for shareholders, supported by a new ship-building vertical and a preferential issue of Rs 273.70 Cr already received. However, the proposal to more than double the borrowing ceiling signals significantly higher future debt, which investors should watch for related leverage and finance cost impact.
