Aegis Logistics Ltd Q2 FY26 Concall Decoded: “Ports Overflowing, Margins Sailing — Aegis Drops Anchor on Record Profits”
1. Opening Hook
While most companies blamed “geopolitical turbulence” for slow growth, Aegis Logistics just fired up all its cylinders — or should we say, ports. In a world where everyone’s talking about “digital,” Aegis is busy moving millions of tonnes of actual stuff — LPG, ammonia, and liquids — like it’s running India’s energy bloodstream. Revenues shot up 31%, profits surged 61%, and their CFO practically sounded like a man timing ships with a stopwatch. Oh, and there’s a $5 billion CAPEX wave coming — because why stop when you’re on fire? Stick around — the gas gets even hotter as Aegis plots its next billion-dollar expansion.
2. At a Glance
Revenue ₹2,294 crore (+31% YoY): Every port pulled its weight — and then some.
EBITDA ₹347 crore (+46%): Efficiency finally found its soulmate in volume.
PAT ₹244 crore (+61%): Profit tanks filled to the brim — no leaks here.
LPG Volumes 1.41 MT (+32%): India may talk renewables, but it’s still cooking on gas.
Distribution Volume +49%: Apparently, even cylinders wanted a promotion.
Debt Gearing 0.6x: Conservative enough to make bankers weep with joy.
