Just when the global auto industry is confused about tariffs, EVs, and where engines are assembled, IZMO decided to casually announce it wants to become India’s silicon photonics champion. Because why not? While most IT companies are busy debating billing rates, IZMO is packaging photonics chips at one-nanometer accuracy and telling hyperscalers to wait in line.
Q2 revenue barely moved, but profits suddenly found religion. Management sounded less like a software vendor and more like a semiconductor startup pitching to the Government of India. There was AI everywhere, margins everywhere, and spreadsheets politely asked to sit in the corner.
If you came for auto software, stay. If you came for semiconductors, definitely stay. Things get wild once photonics enters the chat.
2. At a Glance
Revenue up 2.65% – Growth tiptoed in, hoping tariffs wouldn’t notice.
EBITDA up 42.4% – Cost cutters showed up with AI-powered scissors.
EBITDA margin at 22.5% – Suddenly respectable, no Western pricing required.
PAT at ₹12.56 Cr – Profits did the heavy lifting this quarter.
H1 revenue up 9.8% – Not explosive, but stubbornly alive.
IzmoMicro order book ₹50 Cr – Small today, loudly ambitious tomorrow.
