KEC International released its earnings for the quarter ended June 2026, showing a sharp 41.7% year‑on‑year decline in net profit to ₹72.6 crore. The company’s revenue, however, remained unchanged at ₹5,024 crore, indicating stable top‑line performance.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 16.9% to ₹290.8 crore from ₹350.1 crore, and the operating margin slipped from 7% to 6% year‑on‑year. The narrowing margin reflects higher costs and pressure on profitability.
Despite the earnings dip, KEC secured new orders worth ₹1,063 crore across its business units. The civil arm won a high‑rise residential project covering 24 lakh square feet, while the transmission & distribution segment landed a 400 kV line in Africa and tower supplies in the Americas.
The renewables division captured a 50+ MW wind EPC contract in Western India, and the cables & conductors business received multiple orders, bolstering the company’s project pipeline.
On the market front, the share closed at ₹475.50 on the previous trading day, a decline of ₹3.70 or 0.77%. It has traded below its 52‑week high of ₹938.00 and above its 52‑week low of ₹460.30, standing 49.31% below the high and 3.3% above the low.
With a market capitalisation of ₹12,657.81 crore, KEC International’s stock remains a focal point for investors as they assess the company’s ability to convert new orders into profitability and navigate the mixed earnings backdrop.
