25 May 2026: Q4 FY26 Results Highlight Margin Resurgence Amid Muted Growth
Steel Exchange India Ltd began the week with its quarterly results for Q4 FY26, revealing a significant margin resurgence despite subdued top-line growth. The company posted a Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes (PBDIT) of ₹49.73 crores and an operating profit to net sales ratio of 17.31%, marking record highs for the quarter. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at ₹12.37 crores, with Earnings Per Share (EPS) improving to ₹0.10.
These results indicated a clear turnaround from previous quarters, with the financial trend score improving from -10 to +7. However, the six-month PAT decline of 28.95% and a 28.30% rise in interest expenses to ₹17.59 crores highlighted ongoing challenges. The stock price remained steady at Rs.10.42, reflecting cautious investor reaction to the mixed signals.

Complementary technical indicators such as weekly MACD, monthly RSI, Bollinger Bands, and On-Balance Volume (OBV) supported this positive momentum.
