From the call for April to June 2026, 30 September 2026.

When KEC International reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Delayed Middle East T&D revenue recovery; check whether the next-quarter print shows volume conversion and margin uplift.

KEC International is on 3 of our India lists: 52 week high & low, Dividend stocks and Power & green energy stocks.

KEC International Ltd earned ₹73.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −41.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹606 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 15.1% a year on average. That is 1.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹125 Cr.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹606 Cr (+6.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +0.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +4.4% and revenue +6.1%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace.

KEC International Ltd reported ₹5,024 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +0.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 10.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹23,506 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹23,507 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY26 revenue was ₹23,506 Cr, +7.6% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.1% on average, against 10.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +5.1%, against +7.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −8.9%, against +18.7% a year (rolling over).

KEC International Ltd's operating margin was 6.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 5.0% and 11.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +3.1 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 21% of KEC International Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 its operations used ₹414 Cr of cash, against ₹606 Cr of profit. After ₹398 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹812 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why 21% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle. When less than 70% of profit comes in as cash, it is the thing to watch on this page.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 1.5× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

KEC International Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −201 days in FY26, down from −191 days in FY21. It spent ₹859 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 101 days to pay, and stock sits for 50 days on average.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

At FY26 sales of ₹23,506 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹64.4 Cr, so roughly −₹12,944 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 101 days to pay and stock sat for 50 days, about 1.6 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −201 days, shorter than FY21's −191.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 50 days. Customers pay about 101 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 351 days. Together that makes the −201-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹859 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹566 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹114 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

KEC International Ltd's P/E is 14.2×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 8% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 22.5×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹20.80.
