NRB Bearings delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹372 crore (+13% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹74 crore (+17% YoY), with margins at 19.5%. Full-year revenue grew 11% to ₹1,135 crore, PAT surged 77% to ₹146 crore. Growth was driven by volume expansion, market share gains, and structural efficiency improvements (solar, automation, vendor renegotiation). International business grew only 4% due to Middle East disruptions and gas shortages, but management expects 10-14% growth in FY27. Capacity utilization is near full, with a ₹120 crore capex planned for FY27 (including land) to debottleneck and expand. The Mahan Tools acquisition (order book doubled to ₹50 crore) strengthens aerospace entry. Industrial segment (14-15% of revenue) is a focus area. Risk: forex volatility and global supply chain disruptions could impact margins.
