Western Carriers (India) Ltd reported FY2026 standalone total revenue of Rs 18,292.38 million, up 6% from Rs 17,257.20 million in FY2025. However, net profit after tax declined sharply by 40.4% to Rs 388.16 million from Rs 651.28 million in the prior year. EPS dropped to Rs 3.20 per share (face value Rs 10) compared to Rs 14.10 in FY2025. Q4 FY2026 standalone revenue stood at Rs 4,957.16 million with net profit of Rs 82.60 million, down from Rs 140.79 million in Q4 FY2025. The results were approved by the Board of Directors on May 16, 2026, after review by the Audit Committee. The filing also includes a separate share buyback programme approved by the Board on May 14, 2026, with a maximum buyback size of Rs 2,221.28 million (10% of paid-up equity capital and free reserves), implemented through a tender offer on BSE.
The sharp 40% decline in net profit and corresponding EPS reduction signals significant margin pressure and is likely negative for the stock near-term, despite the company's revenue growth. The authorised share buyback provides some support to shareholder returns.
