Raymond's Q3 Revenue Soars 18%; Aerospace & Auto Drive Growth
Overview

Raymond Limited reported a robust Q3 FY26 with total income up 18% YoY to INR 580 crores, boosted by its Aerospace & Defense and Precision Technology & Auto Components divisions. The company remains debt-free with a net cash surplus and has outlined INR 1,000 crores in future capex over five years for expansion in Andhra Pradesh. Management expressed optimism driven by global supply chain shifts and localization efforts.

📉 The Financial Deep Dive

Raymond Limited has posted a commendable Q3 FY26 performance, with total income climbing 18% year-on-year to INR 580 crores. This surge was primarily propelled by strong showings in its specialized segments.

The Numbers:

  • Q3 FY26 Total Income: INR 580 crores (+18% YoY)
  • Q3 FY26 EBITDA: INR 83 crores (+27.6% YoY from INR 65 crores in Q3 FY25)
  • Q3 FY26 EBITDA Margin: 14.3% (improved from 13.3% in Q3 FY25)

The nine-month period (9M FY26) also demonstrated resilience, with total income growing 13% year-on-year to INR 1,699 crores. However, the 9M FY26 EBITDA margin stood at 14.7%, a notable decrease from 15.8% in 9M FY25. This compression was attributed by management to a reduction in non-operating income during the period.

Segmental Performance Highlights:

  • Aerospace & Defense (JKMGAL): This division was a standout performer, reporting a 49% YoY revenue jump to INR 105 crores in Q3 FY26. EBITDA grew 39% to INR 19 crores, though margins saw a slight dip to 18.6% from 19.8%.
  • Precision Technology & Auto Components (JKMPTL): This segment registered 15% YoY revenue growth to INR 417 crores in Q3 FY26. EBITDA surged by 51% to INR 57 crores, with margins expanding significantly to 13.7% from 10.4%. The margin improvement here was a result of higher sales volumes, a favourable product mix, and a one-time gain of INR 13 crores from a land sale in Q2 FY26. A separate one-time impact of INR 14 crores related to labor code implementation was also accounted for.

The Balance Sheet & Cash Flow:
Raymond Limited continues to impress with its financial health, maintaining a debt-free status. As of December 2025, the company held a net cash surplus of INR 214 crores, providing significant financial flexibility.

🚩 Risks & Outlook

Management's outlook remains optimistic, underpinned by several strategic factors:

  • Capex Ambitions: The company has ambitious plans, earmarking INR 1,000 crores for capital expenditure over the next five years in Andhra Pradesh, bifurcated between Aerospace (INR 500 Cr) and Auto (INR 430 Cr). Investments in advanced machinery like GROB machines are set to enhance operational capabilities.
  • Global Tailwinds: Raymond is poised to benefit from global supply chain diversification trends, particularly the 'China Plus One' strategy, and ongoing localization efforts in India.
  • Order Book Strength: The Aerospace order book is robust, estimated at 2.5x to 3x annual revenue and is on a continuous growth trajectory.
  • Future Margin Targets: Management has set aggressive targets, aiming for 23-25% EBITDA margins for Aerospace and above 15% for Auto Components.

Discussions also hinted at potential long-term value unlocking opportunities for its businesses, contingent on achieving critical scale and market stability.
