What the record says.
STL delivered a landmark Q1 FY27 with record-breaking performance across all metrics, driven by accelerating data center demand and strong execution on the hyperscaler deal strategy. Revenue of 1,910 crore surged 87% YoY on the back of a 13,100 crore quarterly order intake (1.7x full FY26 wins), anchored by a $1.1 billion multi-year hyperscaler agreement. EBITDA expanded 184% YoY to 397 crore with margin of 20.78%, prompting an upward revision to 23% for FY27. PAT hit a record 197 crore (10% margin), representing 3.5x FY26 full-year PAT. Geographically, North America surged to 54% of revenue (from 39%), and data center segment scaled to 21% from just 1% in FY26. The 18,618 crore order book provides robust multi-year visibility, while the 1,500 crore QIP strengthens the balance sheet to net debt-free status. Key risks include raw material cost pressures (germanium, helium) and the absence of formal revenue guidance, creating near-term earnings uncertainty despite strong order intake.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management previously guided 20% EBITDA margin by end of FY27 but delivered 20.78% in Q1 itself, prompting an upward revision to 23% for the full year.
- Attach rates currently at 16%, targeting above 20% from next quarter onwards, scaling to 25% by end of FY27 through expanded integrated solutions portfolio.
- Management raised guidance from 30% to 50% for combined data center and enterprise revenue share in FY27, up from 21% in Q1 FY27.
- Approximately 500 crore per year for the next three years (cumulative ~1,500 crore) combining equipment upgrades across glass, fiber, cable, connectivity and debottlenecking investments.
Risks flagged
- Input costs increased significantly due to geopolitical factors (Middle East tensions affecting helium, war situations affecting raw materials). Management acknowledged margin pressure from raw material costs despite volume growth.
- Management explicitly declined to provide revenue guidance when asked by analysts, only noting 2,228 crore executable in Q2. The CFO stated 'we don't give any guidance on revenue' despite record order intake.
- The $1.1 billion hyperscaler deal represents a substantial portion of the 18,618 crore order book. Any deferral or cancellation of this multi-year commitment could materially impact revenue trajectory.
- When pressed on raw material sourcing, management said germanium and helium supply improvements are 'work in progress' with no definitive timeline. Quarter-on-quarter improvement is expected but not guaranteed.
Key quotes
- A truly historic quarter where STL delivered its highest ever performance across revenue. Revenue reached rupees 1,910 crore representing an extraordinary 87% year-on-year growth.
- We delivered on this right year in Q1 with 397 crore in EBITDA which is up 184% year-on-year. We are now revising our EBITDA margin guidance upward to 23%.
- Fiber remains as the core backbone of all the digital infrastructure coming up. With STL's Neuralis end-to-end AI/IDC portfolio, STL is uniquely positioned to capture this multi-year structural growth opportunity.
