1. Opening Hook
While most SME concalls quietly pray for demand revival, Innomet Advanced Materials walked in declaring an “inflection point”—the corporate equivalent of dropping the mic.
H1 FY26 wasn’t about survival math; it was about ambition math. Aerospace certifications, defense orders, US marketing reps, and a straight-faced claim of hitting ₹100 crore revenue without major capex. Bold. Very bold.
Margins bounced back, exports picked up despite tariffs, and tungsten suddenly became geopolitically fashionable. Management sounded less like a small-cap promoter and more like a supply-chain strategist riding global conflict cycles.
If this feels like another “defense + China+1” pitch, stay put. The real story lies in capacity utilization gaps, working capital pain, and whether tungsten dreams can outpace metal price reality. Read on—the alloys get heavier later.
2. At a Glance
- Revenue ₹23.5 cr (+61% YoY) – Growth so fast even depreciation couldn’t catch up.
- EBITDA ₹4.26 cr (18.1%) – Margin comeback season after H2 FY25 sulking.
- PAT ₹2.02 cr – Sequential growth so sharp it scared the spreadsheet.
- EPS ₹1.56 – Shareholders finally felt something tangible.
- Order book ₹18 cr – Tungsten doing the heavy lifting, literally.
