Key takeaways
- Operating profit of Rs 15.08 cr left Cords Cable with a 6.10% operating margin in Q1FY27.
- Interest of Rs 6.54 cr reduced operating profit to Rs 10.55 cr of pre-tax profit after depreciation and other income.
- Other income of Rs 4.09 cr was material to reported profit before tax, while the tax rate stood at 26.07%.
A thin operating spread in the standalone quarter
Revenue of Rs 247.2 cr converted into Rs 15.08 cr of operating profit, leaving limited room after operating costs. The result was Rs 7.8 cr of net profit, or EPS of Rs 6.01, after interest, depreciation and tax.
Interest absorbed much of the operating profit
Interest expense of Rs 6.54 cr was a significant charge against operating profit, while depreciation added another Rs 2.08 cr. Other income of Rs 4.09 cr partly offset those charges, making the Rs 10.55 cr pre-tax profit less purely operational than the operating-profit line suggests.

The reported quarter has no year-on-year or sequential comparison in the available results, so there is no basis here to assess momentum or a multi-quarter margin direction. There is also no post-results market reaction to place against the stock’s historical response.
