Kirloskar Brothers shares fall 4% after Q4 margin declines despite 11% revenue growth

Kirloskar Brothers Ltd reported a mixed set of earnings for the fourth quarter of FY26, with revenue growth offset by weaker profitability and margin compression.

The company posted a net profit of ₹112 crore for the quarter, down 18.7% from ₹137.8 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue rose 10.4% year-on-year to ₹1,415 crore, compared with ₹1,281.3 crore a year earlier.

Operating performance remained subdued during the quarter. EBITDA declined 3.9% to ₹182 crore from ₹189.5 crore in the corresponding period last year, while EBITDA margin narrowed to 12.9% from 14.8% a year ago, indicating pressure on operating profitability despite higher sales.

Following the earnings announcement, shares of Kirloskar Brothers fell to an intraday low of ₹1,595, down more than 4% on the NSE.

The company’s board recommended a dividend of ₹7 per equity share of face value ₹2 each for FY26, translating into a 350% payout. The record date for determining shareholder entitlement has been fixed as July 24, 2026. Subject to shareholder approval at the company’s 106th Annual General Meeting, the dividend will be paid on or before August 29, 2026.
