What Happened
KEI Industries Ltd, engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of a wide range of electrical wires and cables, catering to both retail and institutional segments globally, is in focus following their Q4 results and growth outlook for FY27.
Its Revenue from operations rose by 19.2 percent YoY from Rs. 2,915 Crores in Q4FY25 to Rs. 3,476 Crores in Q4FY26, and it rose by 17.6 percent QoQ from Rs. 2,955 Crores in Q3FY26 to Rs. 3,476 Crores in Q4FY26.
Its Net Profit YoY rose by 25.1 percent from Rs. 227 Crores in Q4FY25 to Rs. 284 Crores in Q4FY26, and on a QoQ basis, it increased by 20.8 percent from Rs. 235 Crores in Q3FY26 to Rs. 284 Crores in Q4FY26. The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarterly period stood at Rs. 29.74, compared to Rs. 23.71 in the previous year’s quarter.
Ambitious FY27 Target
KEI Industries, an New Delhi-based wire and cable manufacturer expects revenue growth of over 20% in FY27, supported by a strong demand outlook and ongoing capacity expansion. Chairman and Managing Director Anil Gupta said the company is seeing steady traction across both domestic and export markets, along with improved execution capabilities that should support future growth.
He added that the upcoming Sanand facility will play a key role in driving expansion, as existing plants are already operating at peak utilisation, limiting further volume growth. With robust order inflows and continued momentum in infrastructure and real estate sectors, KEI Industries expects volume-led growth to strengthen significantly in FY27.
Opportunity or Risk?
KEI Industries’ outlook for FY27 appears more like an opportunity than a risk, driven by strong demand visibility, capacity expansion, and robust order inflows. The commissioning of the Sanand facility and high utilisation at existing plants indicate that the company has clear room for volume-led growth ahead.
However, some risks remain, such as execution delays in new capacity, dependency on infrastructure and real estate cycles, and potential raw material price volatility. Overall, the near-term setup looks positive, but sustained performance will depend on how smoothly expansions and demand momentum continue.
Brokerage views on the result
Morgan Stanley on KEI Industries
Morgan Stanley has downgraded KEI Industries from Overweight to Equal-weight, while revising its target price to Rs. 5,213 (earlier ₹4,860). The brokerage noted that although Q4 PAT beat estimates due to stronger margins, this came alongside weaker volume growth.
On the operational front, domestic cables & wires revenue grew strongly by 23%, but export performance remained subdued. Going forward, revenue growth is expected to be supported more by higher commodity prices and rupee depreciation rather than strong underlying volume expansion.
Morgan Stanley also flagged rising competitive pressure in the wires segment, which could weigh on margins. It has cut FY27/FY28 EPS estimates by 3–4% and believes the risk-reward is now balanced, especially after KEI’s ~35% outperformance versus the Sensex over the past six months.
