On the reaction day the stock moved 4.7 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 5.9 pts more than its Castings & Forgings peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Samrat Forgings reported Q2 FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 5,179.87 lakhs, up about 2.6% from Rs 5,046.65 lakhs in Q2 FY25. Half-year revenue grew around 7% to Rs 10,236.98 lakhs versus Rs 9,562.03 lakhs last year. However, profit after tax fell sharply – Q2 PAT dropped to Rs 81 lakhs (vs Rs 147.26 lakhs) and H1 PAT fell to Rs 185.54 lakhs (vs Rs 320.94 lakhs), with EPS for Q2 at Rs 1.62 versus Rs 3.71 a year ago. Margins compressed, with Q2 PBT margin at roughly 2.3% versus 5.4% last year, driven by higher depreciation, finance costs and operating expenses. A small exceptional gain of Rs 6.17 lakhs was recorded in the half-year. The statutory auditor issued a clean limited review report with no qualifications.
Despite modest top-line growth, the sharp fall in profits and margin compression are negative signals for shareholders in the near term, suggesting rising costs are weighing on earnings. The clean auditor report and positive operating cash flow provide some comfort, but the weak profitability print may weigh on the stock.
