Kabsons Industries Q1 Revenue up 39% YoY to ₹14.11 Cr; Net Profit drops to ₹0.06 Cr
Kabsons Industries reported a 39.1% YoY increase in revenue from operations to ₹14.11 Cr for Q1 FY27 (ended June 30, 2026). Despite the revenue growth, net profit plummeted by 92.9% YoY to just ₹0.06 Cr (₹6.05 Lakhs) compared to ₹0.85 Cr in the year-ago period. This decline is primarily attributed to a sharp rise in purchase costs, which reached ₹13.74 Cr, and a doubling of other expenses. The company managed to return to profitability after a loss of ₹0.62 Cr in the preceding March 2026 quarter.

ஏன் இது முக்கியம்For a micro-cap company with a ₹38 Cr market cap, the inability to maintain margins despite higher revenue suggests limited pricing power in the LPG trading segment, making it highly sensitive to procurement price volatility.
