AI summary

Paramount Communications reported standalone revenue of Rs. 1,912 Cr for FY26, up 22.8% from Rs. 1,557 Cr in FY25, driven by wires and cables segment growth. However, profit after tax fell 30.5% to Rs. 60.24 Cr from Rs. 86.72 Cr, impacted by rising raw material costs (Rs. 1,429 Cr, up 16.6%), higher finance costs (Rs. 21 Cr, up 93%), and other expenses (Rs. 360 Cr, up 49%). EBITDA declined to ~Rs. 96 Cr with margins compressing to ~5% from ~7.9% prior year. The company posted negative operating cash flow of Rs. 42 Cr (vs +Rs. 102 Cr prior year) due to a sharp Rs. 211 Cr increase in trade receivables. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified opinion. The board also reappointed cost and internal auditors for FY27.

Likely market impact

Revenue growth of 23% is positive but a 30.5% PAT decline and negative operating cash flow signal margin pressure and working capital stress, which may concern investors despite the clean audit opinion.
