CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd (CGPOWER) Q1 FY27 Results Analysis: Power Systems Revenue Jumps 31%, EBITDA Margin Compresses 114 bps

CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd's Q1 FY27 numbers came in mixed, with revenue of Rs. 3,061.37 Cr (+15.81% YoY) and PAT growth of +26.96% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.

Quarter Snapshot

Power Systems delivered strong 31% YoY revenue growth with margin expansion, supported by a Rs.12,644 Cr order backlog. However, Industrial Systems faced margin pressure from copper costs, and semiconductor losses widened, dragging consolidated EBITDA margin down 114 bps. The company's strategic capacity expansion and OSAT ramp-up provide near-term catalysts, but execution on Industrial margin recovery and semiconductor profitability remains key.
