2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Bharat Forge reported a mixed Q1 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹399 crore (+1.5% QoQ) and EBITDA margin of 17.4%, supported by improved overseas profitability and reduced losses at Kalyani Powertrain. Standalone revenue fell 2.7% to ₹215 crore due to tariff disruptions, emission norm delays, and aerospace seasonality. The company absorbed ₹14 crore in tariff-related costs. New business wins totaled ₹900 crore across defense, aerospace, and JSA. Management expects Q2 to be weaker due to US export headwinds, with a H2 recovery driven by aerospace growth (20%+ YoY) and consolidation of American Axle (₹1,000 crore revenue addition). Defense pipeline remains strong at ₹9,000 crore, with an additional ₹1,400 crore order expected. Key risk: tariff uncertainty and potential demand slowdown in US markets.
