Uniparts India Limited Q2 FY26 Concall Decoded:14% growth, 22% EBITDA, cash overflowing—FX did the heavy lifting while agri still sulks.
1. Opening Hook
Global agriculture is still in a bad mood, construction just woke up, and the rupee decided to do Uniparts a solid favour. Add floods in North India for extra drama—and somehow Uniparts still delivered a clean, boringly strong quarter. Revenue grew, EBITDA flexed, cash piled up, and management calmly distributed dividends like it was Diwali every quarter.
But don’t get carried away just yet. A chunk of margin expansion came from FX magic, not superhero cost control. Large ag in North America remains painful, aftermarket is “single-digit fine,” and management politely reminded everyone that 22% margins are not guaranteed forever.
Still, when you’re net-cash, tariff-neutral, winning ₹200 crore of new orders annually, and telling analysts “FY27 looks better,” you’ve earned the right to sound confident. Read on—this call quietly mattered.
2. At a Glance
