2-Min Summary
Lumax Industries reported its best-ever quarterly performance in Q3 FY26, with revenue of ₹1,053 crore (up 18.7% YoY) and EBITDA margin expanding 260 bps YoY to 10.6%. The strong results were driven by robust manufacturing revenue growth of 35.8% YoY, operating leverage, and an exceptional tooling profitability of ~₹10 crore. LED lighting now contributes 61% of revenue (vs 52% last year), and the order book stands at ₹1,759 crore, with 81% LED-based. Management guided for 20%+ revenue growth in FY27 and progressive margin expansion toward 12% over two years. Capex for FY26 was revised up to ₹350-400 crore due to preloading for the Bangalore plant. Key risk: sustainability of double-digit margins given cyclical tooling income and potential forex volatility.
