Sterling Tools Posts Strong YoY Growth Despite Sequential Dip
The auto ancillary firm reported a 48.4% YoY jump in profit, though earnings softened from the previous quarter.
Sterling Tools' Q1 FY27 profit surged 48.4% year-on-year, but declined sequentially from a strong Q4. Revenue growth of 23.8% YoY was healthy, though net profit margin dipped quarter-on-quarter.

Sequentially, revenue dipped 2.9% from Q4 FY26, while profit fell 31.2%, pulling the net margin down from 11.6%.
