Price around the results
Other income supported a thin operating result
Jash generated consolidated operating profit of Rs 8.09 cr, while net profit was Rs 5.09 cr after interest of Rs 2.06 cr and depreciation of Rs 5.61 cr. Other income of Rs 6.13 cr was almost as large as the Rs 6.55 cr profit before tax, so reported profit was not driven only by operations. The tax rate was 22.27%.
Operating margin sits well below the Industrials peer set
The 5.40% operating margin leaves Jash -8.53 percentage points below the 13.93% median for the 112 Industrials companies that had reported. Revenue of Rs 149.88 cr was only modestly ahead of expenses of Rs 141.79 cr, leaving limited operating surplus before interest and depreciation. Jash ranked 11th from the bottom on operating margin among this reporting group.
Management sets an Rs 875 cr sales outlook
Management said its consolidated FY26-27 sales outlook is Rs 875 cr, comprising Rs 320 cr from India and Rs 555 cr from outside India. The company said the Unit 1 expansion had been commissioned, raising cast gate and cast valve manufacturing capacity by over 30%. Management also said its decade-long manufacturing expansion programme across India was complete and that it planned to expand its global manufacturing footprint across the USA and Saudi Arabia.
