KEI Industries Reports 29% Profit Rise in Q2 Despite Share Price Decline
KEI Industries reported strong Q2 FY27 financial results with revenue rising 38.5-39% year-on-year to around Rs 3,776 crore and net profit increasing 29% to Rs 262 crore. Growth was driven by broad-based demand in the wires and cables business, with domestic sales up about 46% and exports growing 7%. Despite improved operating efficiency and a better product mix boosting EBITDA margins slightly, the company's share price fell 8-10%, nearing its 52-week low amid heavy trading volume.
