Star Cement Limited reported strong Q2 FY26 results with standalone revenue from operations rising 31.5% YoY to ₹52,167.13 lakhs and consolidated revenue up 49.7% YoY to ₹81,094.03 lakhs. For the half year, standalone revenue grew 22.8% to ₹1,06,640.63 lakhs while consolidated revenue grew 23.7% to ₹1,72,293.28 lakhs. The company swung back to profitability with standalone H1 profit after tax of ₹3,954.14 lakhs versus a loss of ₹5,100.38 lakhs in H1 FY25, and consolidated H1 PAT jumped to ₹16,922.94 lakhs from ₹3,665.80 lakhs. EBITDA margins expanded sharply driven by better operating leverage, though finance costs rose materially on higher borrowings. The Board has approved raising up to ₹1,500 crore via securities (private placement, preferential, rights, or QIP), currently under postal ballot shareholder approval.
Strong operational turnaround and broad-based growth should be positive for shareholder sentiment and the stock. However, the proposed ₹1,500 crore fundraise may lead to equity dilution risk depending on the route chosen, and rising debt has pushed finance costs higher.
