Cyient DLM reported Q2 FY26 revenue of ₹310.6 crore, down 20% YoY due to the completion of a large defense order, but EBITDA margin expanded 192 bps YoY to double digits, driven by a favorable revenue mix. PAT surged 108% YoY to ₹32.1 crore, boosted by a one-time earnout reversal. Order intake was strong at ₹500 crore (book-to-bill 1.6), with H1 cumulative intake up 130% YoY to over ₹1,000 crore. Management expects YoY revenue growth to resume in Q4 FY26, supported by a robust pipeline in industrial, automotive, and build-to-spec (B2S) segments. B2S now constitutes >10% of the order book. Key risks include geopolitical headwinds in Israel and tariff impacts on US operations, though management is actively managing these.
