Navkar Corporation delivered exceptional financial performance in Q1 FY27, with standalone net profit surging 500% year-on-year to ₹12.3 crore compared to ₹2.4 crore in the corresponding period last year. According to the latest financial results reported by Business Standard, this dramatic profit increase demonstrates the company's strong operational efficiency and market positioning in the logistics sector. The company's earnings per share improved significantly to ₹0.82 from ₹0.16 a year ago, reflecting enhanced profitability per share.
The integrated logistics solutions provider reported revenue growth of 37.8% to ₹190.7 crore, up from ₹138.5 crore in the year-ago quarter. As reported by Business Standard, total income increased to ₹192.3 crore from ₹139.0 crore in Q1 FY26. However, on a sequential basis, both revenue and profit moderated from the March 2026 quarter, with revenue declining from ₹200.8 crore and net profit easing from ₹14.0 crore to ₹12.3 crore. The company's profit before tax climbed to ₹16.4 crore compared with ₹3.8 crore a year ago, reflecting improved operating performance during the quarter.
Navkar Corporation demonstrated strong cost management with total expenses declining to ₹175.9 crore from ₹179.5 crore in the preceding quarter. Finance costs fell to ₹3.2 crore from ₹3.9 crore, while depreciation and amortisation expenses increased marginally to ₹15.0 crore from ₹14.7 crore. Employee benefit expenses rose to ₹13.5 crore from ₹12.1 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, reflecting higher business activity. The company's EBITDA margin expanded to 17.3% from 14.7% in the corresponding quarter last year, indicating improved operational leverage and cost management.
Despite the strong quarterly results, Navkar Corporation shares ended at ₹104.90, down ₹11.40 or 9.80% on the BSE during the trading session on July 17, 2026. According to CNBC TV18, the stock faced notable intraday price pressure, fluctuating between a high of ₹119.00 and hitting a sharp low of ₹98.07 during the session. The sequential decline in both revenue and profit from Q4 FY26 may have contributed to the negative market reaction despite the year-on-year growth.
