2-Min Summary
KEI Industries reported a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹3,476 crore (+19.3% YoY) and PAT of ₹284 crore (+25.5% YoY), driven by robust demand in domestic B2C (distribution up 29% YoY) and EHV cables (+64% YoY). Volume growth was constrained at 2% due to capacity limitations, but management guided for 17-18% volume growth in FY27 as the Sanand plant ramps up. EBITDA margin improved to 12.21% (vs 11.61% YoY) aided by operating leverage and B2C mix shift. Exports grew 45% in FY26 and are expected to reach 20% of sales in FY27, with US market reopening after tariff disruptions. Capex of ₹600-700 crore annually is planned for next 2-3 years. Key risk: supply chain disruptions in Middle East exports and potential metal price volatility could impact margins.
