Gillanders Arbuthnot Returns to Profitability in Q1 Despite Revenue Dip
The diversified conglomerate posted a small profit in Q1 FY27, a positive swing from losses in the prior year and quarter, even as revenue softened.
Gillanders Arbuthnot reported a modest quarterly profit of ₹2.52 crore, marking a recovery from recent losses. Revenue, however, declined sequentially from the previous quarter.
Gillanders Arbuthnot & Company has navigated back to profitability in the first quarter of FY27, a welcome shift after posting losses in the same period last year and the preceding quarter. The Kolkata-based conglomerate reported a net profit of ₹2.52 crore for the quarter ended June 2026, even as its revenue softened on a sequential basis.
The company's top line saw a modest year-on-year increase of 3.3%, reaching ₹91.33 crore. However, this represents an 11.7% decline from the ₹103.39 crore earned in Q4 FY26. The more significant story is on the bottom line, where a profit of ₹2.52 crore compares favorably to a loss of ₹5.46 crore in Q1 FY26 and a loss of ₹3.89 crore in the immediate prior quarter. This swing pushed the net profit margin to 2.8%, a notable improvement from the negative margins seen over the past year.
A look at the last five quarters shows a volatile earnings path for the company, with profitability heavily dependent on quarterly performance.

Key Points
- The trailing twelve-month (TTM) profit stands at ₹17.44 crore on revenue of ₹433.83 crore, yielding a TTM net profit margin of 4.0%.
- The stock has faced significant pressure over the past year, declining 35.2% to close at ₹90.76 on the results date.
- Despite the recent share price weakness, the company trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 18.2, which is at a 33.9% discount to its industry peer average.
While the return to quarterly profit is a positive step, sustaining and growing this momentum from a relatively low revenue base will be the key challenge for Gillanders Arbuthnot in the coming quarters.
