Financial stats pending filing verification
Azad Engineering delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue of 603 crore (up 32% YoY) and PAT of 134 crore (up 54.5% YoY). Growth was driven by ramp-up of four new dedicated customer facilities, a robust order book of 6,500 crore (11x FY26 revenue), and a landmark single-source contract from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for hot-section nozzle vein segments. Management guided for 25%+ revenue growth in FY27, supported by capacity utilization improvements and working capital normalization. Key risks include execution risk in ramping new plants and potential delays in the Saudi Arabia JV with Baker Hughes due to geopolitical tensions.
अजाद इंजीनियरिंग ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की चौथी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल आय 603 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 32% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 134 करोड़ रुपये हुआ, जो 54.5% बढ़ा। यह वृद्धि चार नए ग्राहक कारखानों के चालू होने, 6,500 करोड़ रुपये के मजबूत ऑर्डर बुक (जो सालाना आय का 11 गुना है) और मित्सुबिशी हेवी इंडस्ट्रीज से एक बड़े अनुबंध के कारण हुई। कंपनी ने अगले साल 25% से अधिक आय वृद्धि का अनुमान लगाया है। लेकिन नए कारखानों को चालू करने में देरी और सऊदी अरब में बेकर ह्यूजेस के साथ संयुक्त उद्यम में भू-राजनीतिक तनाव के कारण संभावित देरी जैसे जोखिम हैं।
