Data Patterns shares rally 8% on positive outlook for H2 FY27; firm sees muted Q2 results

The defence and aerospace electronics systems provider reported a 54% decline in its consolidated net profit at ₹22 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The net profit in the same quarter in the previous fiscal year was ₹48 crore.

Its revenue from operations for Q2 FY27 stood at ₹133 crore, falling 57% year-on-year (YoY) from ₹307 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

On an operational level, Data Pattern’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) slipped to ₹31 crore in Q2 FY27 as against ₹68 crore in Q2 FY26.

The firm’s EBITDA margin, however, expanded to 23.3% for the reporting quarter in contrast to 22.02% YoY, due to better gross margin.

As of September 30, Data Patterns’ order book stood at ₹1,724 crore. The company said negotiations had been completed for orders worth ₹955.76 crore, which are yet to be received.

“The business momentum during H1FY27 has been encouraging, particularly on the order inflow front. We received fresh orders worth ₹929 crores in Q2FY27, taking H1FY27 inflows to ₹1,046 crore, nearly three times the level recorded in H1FY26,” said Srinivasagopalan Rangarajan, Chairman & Managing Director, Data Patterns (India).

He further said that Q2 FY27 was a relatively muted quarter in terms of revenue, following the exceptionally strong execution in Q2 FY26.

In the reporting quarter, the board of directors have final nod for acquisition of ST Advanced Composites with an effective date of September 17, 2026. The said stake was acquired for a consideration of ₹1.50 crore.

H1 FY27 updates

Data Patterns reported a total revenue of ₹264.78 crore for the first half of FY27, down 37% from ₹423 crore in the corresponding period last year. Its revenue from operations stood at ₹249.28 crore, compared to ₹406.79 crore in H1 FY26.

The defence firm’s profit after tax (PAT) declined to ₹44.03 crore from ₹74.69 crore in the year-ago period.

Outlook for H2 FY27

“We are also seeing encouraging opportunities for larger, complete-system contracts across radar, electronic warfare and communication systems, supported by our investments in technology and manufacturing capabilities,” Rangarajan said.

Rangarajan added that with several programme milestones progressing and deliveries expected to pick up, the company expects H2 FY27 to be stronger than H1 FY27, supported by its healthy order book and execution momentum.

“Looking ahead, we remain confident in our business outlook. Strong order inflows, a healthy pipeline and continued progress in execution position us well for the remainder of the year. We remain on track to achieve our full-year targets, and our FY27 guidance remains unchanged,” said Rangarajan.
