Shares slid after reporting a surprise ₹194 cr Q1 FY26 loss (from ₹77 cr profit YoY).
– ₹202 cr revenue vs ₹1,563 cr YoY—a steep 87% drop. – Losses driven by cost overruns, supply-chain delays, weaker execution—no big one‑offs.
Metric Q1 FY26 Q1 FY25 Revenue ₹202 cr ₹1,563 cr EBITDA –₹232 cr ₹167 cr PBT –₹297 cr ₹122 cr PAT –₹194 cr ₹77 cr
EBITDA swung from +₹167 cr to –₹232 cr
– Tejas delivers telecom gear globally and is backed by Tata. – Large government orders make execution hiccups especially costly.
– Market cap: ₹12,358 cr • P/E 70.5 • P/B 3.5 • EPS 10.6 • ROE 13.3% • ROCE 15.8% • Dividend yield 0.4% – Value Research ratings: 1/5 overall, growth 6/10, valuation 3/10 – Momentum weak.
– Tata-support, “Atmanirbhar Bharat” advantage, and strong global/order pipeline still in play. – Q4 FY25 showed strong execution: BSNL 4G/5G rollout and xPON gear success.
– Will Q2 see execution rebound or further delays? – Watch order fulfilment timelines and margin trends.
– This Q1 miss was a blow, not a knockout. – If execution steadies, Tejas could bounce back; otherwise, more choppy waters ahead.
