Rishi Laser reported FY26 revenue of ₹160 crore (7% growth) with PAT collapsing 55% YoY to ₹3.67 crore, and EBITDA margins slipping from 9.1% to 8.7%. Management openly attributed the miss to execution failures in commissioning the new Malur plant and human capital readiness issues, taking full responsibility. The Malur plant is now fully operational with the in-house paint shop going live in June 2026, and management is targeting ₹60 crore revenue from it in FY27, scaling to ₹100 crore by FY29. They guided to FY27 revenue of around ₹190 crore (conservative), with EBITDA margin band of 8-11%, and flagged a 15-20% growth from key customer Caterpillar. The company carries a disciplined debt-to-equity of 0.29x and total assets of ₹148.7 crore, with finance and depreciation costs now fully loaded.
Near-term, shareholders face continued pressure on profitability as wage costs (potential 30% Karnataka minimum wage hike) and conservative FY27 guidance could limit upside. However, with Malur commissioning costs behind, operating leverage should gradually improve margins, and a strong pipeline from Caterpillar and export customers offers a credible growth path. The stock may stay range-bound until evidence of margin expansion and FY27 execution materialises.
