SCI delivered its highest-ever consolidated PBT of ₹1,423 crore, up 67% YoY, driven by a robust tanker segment (PBT up 75% to ₹1,190 crore) amid elevated freight rates due to Middle East conflict. Standalone PAT rose to ₹1,326 crore (vs ₹814 crore). Revenue grew modestly 3.3% to ₹5,778 crore as some vessels were stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, deferring revenue recognition. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with net worth of ₹8,489 crore and debt-equity of 0.29. Management guided for fleet expansion via JVs (oil PSUs and Bharat Container Line) targeting 110+ vessels over 5-20 years, with an IRR threshold of 10-12%. Near-term, elevated spot rates and release of stuck vessels should boost Q1 FY27 earnings. Key risk: a rapid de-escalation of the Middle East conflict could sharply reduce tanker rates and earnings.
