STL reported Q1FY26 revenue of Rs. 1,019 crore, up 17% year-on-year, with EBITDA of Rs. 140 crore at 13.7% margin (vs Rs. 48 crore loss in Q1FY25). PAT turned positive at Rs. 10 crore. The optical networking business led with Rs. 961 crore revenue and 14.3% EBITDA margin, while STL Digital contributed Rs. 64 crore with Rs. 1 crore EBITDA. Order intake surged 3x to Rs. 1,529 crore, and the open order book grew to Rs. 4,888 crore. Net debt stands at Rs. 1,300 crore (debt-to-equity 0.64x, net debt to EBITDA 2.3x), with management targeting below 2x. Demerged entity STL Networks is expected to list by end of August 2025. Management guided to 18-20% EBITDA margin at around 70% utilization levels.
The sharp turnaround in profitability, 3x jump in order intake, and improving order book visibility signal a recovery cycle for STL. Shareholders should watch for continued margin expansion as utilization improves, the STL Networks listing in August, and ability to reduce leverage below 2x net debt/EBITDA. Positive for stock sentiment in the near term.
