Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Lehar Footwears reported record FY26 performance with total income surging 55% to ₹431.3 crore, the highest annual revenue in the company's history. Profit after tax nearly doubled to ₹20.8 crore with PAT margin expanding 91.4 basis points to 4.8%. The company generated ₹25.3 crore in operating cash flows and improved Return on Capital Employed from 12% to 18%. EBITDA grew 49% to ₹39 crore, though EBITDA margin compressed slightly by 38.9 basis points to 9.0%. The footwear segment grew 16% to ₹208.7 crore driven by new product launches and OEM partnerships, while the toolkit business under PM Vishwakarma Scheme contributed ₹249.5 crore. Long-term debt was reduced to near-negligible levels and interest costs fell 40% following a CRISIL rating upgrade.
Strong operational performance with near-doubling of profits and healthy cash generation indicates improved business quality. The reduction in debt and expansion in PAT margins despite EBITDA margin compression suggests better cost efficiency. Shareholders can expect positive sentiment given the breakout growth across key metrics.
