1. At a Glance
This ₹700 Cr small-cap makes thrust washers and bushings—basically the stuff you ignore in an engine until it fails. But with Q1 PAT up 37%, OPM recovering to 19.2%, and a fat export order from Allison Transmission USA, this baby’s revving louder than you think.
2. Introduction with Hook
Imagine a wedding where no one notices the caterer—until the food explodes with flavor. That’s Menon Bearings in the auto ecosystem. Hidden, crucial, and now getting international RSVP invites.
FY25 PAT: ₹25 Cr, steady as a piston
Q1 FY26 EPS: ₹1.50 (up 36%)
Not a unicorn. More like a trusty tractor that refuses to die.
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
Menon Bearings makes:
Engine Bearings
Bushes
Thrust Washers
Aluminium Die Cast Parts
Basically, if it rotates and doesn’t explode, these guys probably supplied something. They sell to auto OEMs, heavy-duty diesel engine makers, and now even export to the US.
Think of them as the orthopedic surgeon of engines—quiet, precise, essential.
