IKIO Technologies Q2FY26 Concall Decoded – 31% growth, 358% PAT surge, and wearables in the fast lane
1. Opening Hook
Remember when LEDs were the future? Well, IKIO just swapped bulbs for buds. 💡➡️🎧 In a quarter where tariffs bruised exports and “smartwatch fatigue” hit the headlines, IKIO pulled a neat trick—riding the audio wave and Middle East bling to a 31% jump in revenue. The company’s pitch: diversification, integration, and a little bit of “trust us, margins will normalize soon.”
Read on—because when a lighting firm claims it’s also a hearables powerhouse, things get bright and loud.
2. At a Glance
Revenue ₹164 Cr, up 31% YoY: Clearly someone left the lights on all night.
EBITDA ₹18 Cr, up 63% QoQ: Margins found caffeine—finally hit 11.2%.
PAT ₹11 Cr, up 358% QoQ: Profit finally showed up for roll call.
Gross Margin 35–36%: Solid, but still squinting at efficiency gains.
Exports ₹37 Cr, up 127% YoY: Dubai called; they want more lighting.
IPO funds 78% deployed: The cheque book’s working overtime.
