Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Steel Exchange India reported Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) standalone revenue of ₹299.99 crore, up about 13.6% from ₹264.04 crore in Q1 FY25. Net profit jumped to ₹10.23 crore from ₹2.58 crore a year ago, roughly a 4x increase, with EPS at ₹0.09 versus ₹0.02. Operating EBITDA margin improved to 12% from 9%, and net profit margin widened to 3% from 1%. The board had considered raising up to ₹150 crore through a rights issue but deferred the decision, saying the amount may not be enough to meet the company's funding needs and asked management to do a comprehensive reassessment. The board also approved the re-appointment of Mr. Suresh Kumar Bandi as Joint Managing Director for three more years from October 27, 2025, and noted that the auditor issued an unmodified (clean) limited review opinion.
Strong operational performance with a sharp jump in profit and improving margins is a positive for shareholders, though the decision to defer the rights issue signals the company may need significantly more capital than ₹150 crore, which could mean dilution later or ongoing funding pressure. The unchanged debt-equity ratio at 0.48 and partial repayment of NCDs (face value reduced) reflect some balance sheet repair, but clarity on the funding plan remains pending.
