Prime Focus Limited (PFOCUS) Q2 Results FY27 Preview: Date, Time, Expectations & Key Things To Watch

Prime Focus Limited Q2 Results Date and Time

The Board will meet on Friday, November 13, 2026, to approve unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The trading window is closed until 48 hours after results declaration.

What to expect from Prime Focus Limited's Q2 FY27 results

The quarter's central question is the margin bridge: Q1 FY27 EBITDA margin of 23.8% compares with 35.3% in Q4 FY26 and 30.4% for FY26, and Q1 personnel cost rose c.29% YoY on headcount scale-up to deliver marquee projects such as Ramayana 1 and Dune 3.

Revenue momentum is supported by a contracted and confirmed order book of $600M+ as at June 30, 2026 within a c.$1 billion order book and visible pipeline for FY27 and beyond, with Q1 FY27 revenue of Rs. 1,267 Cr up 23.8% YoY driven by tentpole projects.

The Brahma AI restructuring is the dominant event to interpret: the Nov 7 EOGM approved cessation of control with 99.28% votes in favor, taking PFL's voting rights to 24.99% while retaining a 65.67% economic stake, and Brahma AI carried a c.$100 million annual revenue run-rate at Q1 FY27 against a $153m FY27 visible-revenue target.

Management has also flagged the Diwali 2026 release of Ramayana, backed by a corporate guarantee of up to Rs. 200 Cr in favor of Union Bank of India, alongside an Income Tax Department search at certain offices on October 7, 2026 on which the company said no finding, demand or contravention had been communicated. The call is likely to cover consolidation accounting for the Brahma entities, deployment of the Rs. 3,000 Cr fundraising enablement, and net debt trajectory from Rs. 4,376 Cr.

Key Things To Watch

Brahma AI consolidation accounting: The EOGM-approved cessation of control changes how Brahma shows up in the accounts.
