Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited announced impressive financial results for the second quarter of FY26. The company's net profit surged by 89.9% to ₹572.3 crore, a substantial increase from ₹301 crore in the same quarter last year. This growth was significantly driven by a remarkable 154.25% rise in revenue, which reached ₹3,651 crore, up from ₹1,436 crore year-on-year. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) also saw a strong performance, climbing 153.5% to ₹1,042.9 crore. The EBITDA margin experienced a slight dip of 10 basis points, settling at 28.5% compared to 28.6% in the previous year.
In a strategic move, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved Lloyds Metals' proposal to acquire a 49.99% equity stake in Thriveni Pellets Private Limited on October 7. Lloyds Metals is primarily involved in iron ore mining, direct reduced iron production, captive power generation, and pellet trading.
Impact This news is highly positive for Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited. The strong earnings growth, coupled with the approval of a significant strategic acquisition, is likely to boost investor confidence and could lead to positive stock price movements. The expansion into Thriveni Pellets enhances the company's market position in the pellet segment. Rating: 7/10.
