Storage Technologies and Automation Ltd (STAL) reported a sharp swing to losses for H1 FY26 despite modest revenue growth. Standalone revenue rose 7.9% year-on-year to ₹47.05 crore, but total expenses jumped nearly 17% to ₹48.70 crore, driven by a steep rise in employee costs (₹3.73 crore to ₹6.51 crore) and other expenses. As a result, the company posted a standalone net loss of ₹1.55 crore versus a profit of ₹1.24 crore in H1 FY25, with EBITDA margin collapsing from 9.3% to 0.7%. On a consolidated basis, revenue actually declined about 4.5% to ₹47.21 crore, with a net loss of ₹1.50 crore. Management attributed the poor performance to delayed project execution and prolonged deployment of manpower and equipment, expecting a meaningful recovery in H2 FY26 and full-year revenue of around ₹120 crore with 7-9% EBITDA margin.
Shareholders face a weak half-year print with the company slipping into losses, though management frames it as a timing issue with deferred billing expected in H2. The stock may see negative near-term pressure, but the strong order pipeline and recovery guidance limit deeper concern — investors should watch H2 execution closely.
