Strong FY26 Provisional Results
Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) reported provisional revenue of approximately ₹6,400 crore for FY26, marking a robust 26% year-on-year growth. This performance was driven by the delivery of eight vessels to the Indian Navy, including Project 17A frigates and Survey Vessel Large ships. Mishra Dhatu Nigam (Midhani) posted provisional FY26 revenue of ₹1,206 crore, a 12.3% YoY increase, supported by strong execution in aerospace, defence, and space programs, alongside export orders.
Brokerage Sector Views
Analysts at ICICI Securities noted GRSE's provisional revenue growth was in line with guidance, though Q4FY26 implied a de-growth sequentially. They highlighted an order backlog of ₹17,000 crore, crucial for near-term revenues, but stressed the importance of timely project awards for sustaining growth post-FY27. For Midhani, the brokerage sees better positioning for improved execution with a ₹2,600 crore order book, forecasting 20% revenue growth for FY27 and FY28.
