Kaynes Technology Q2FY26 Concall Insights :
Kaynes Technology delivered a standout performance in Q2 FY26, with revenue rising 58% YoY to ₹906 crore, while operational EBITDA jumped 80% YoY to ₹148 crore, leading to a strong margin of 16.3% (up by 1.9%).
PAT stood at ₹121 crore, reflecting a healthy 13.4% margin.
The momentum continued through H1 FY26 with revenue of ₹1,580 crore (up 47% YoY), operational EBITDA of ₹261 crore (up 75% YoY), and margins expanding to 16.5%.
Kaynes closed the quarter with an excellent order book of ₹8,099 crore, up 49% YoY, providing strong visibility for upcoming quarters.
Management credited this performance to its evolution from a pure EMS player to a fully integrated ESDM company with strengths across PCB manufacturing, OSAT packaging, embedded design, and system-level manufacturing.
Strategic achievements - including delivering India’s first commercially manufactured multichip module with Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, progress in HDI PCB facilities, and MEMS packaging partnerships - further cement Kaynes' role in India’s semiconductor and electronics ecosystem.
Leadership emphasized creating a globally respected high-tech manufacturing enterprise through execution excellence, automation, and digital integration.
Initiatives such as enterprise-wide process harmonization, Total Predictive Maintenance (TPM), IoT 4.0-based automation, and upgraded quality systems are designed to strengthen scale, reliability, and cost efficiency across verticals like automotive, industrial, defense, and consumer electronics.
On working capital, the management acknowledged the increase in receivables - up roughly ₹600 crore - which contributed to a negative operating cash flow of ~₹180 crore in Q2.
However, they outlined a clear plan to normalize cash flows through aggressive receivable discounting. Around ₹60 crore has already been discounted, and the remaining ₹300 crore of legacy smart meter receivables is expected to be resolved by mid-FY26.
With a major H2 volume ramp - expected to be 50–60% higher than H1 - and liquidity unlocking through discounting, management expressed confidence in delivering strong positive OCF by year-end.
Overall, the management tone remained highly optimistic.
While they avoided specific FY26 revenue or EBITDA guidance, they reiterated strong execution visibility, a solid order book, and sustained 16% EBITDA margins supported by backward integration and operating leverage.
With the OSAT plant scaling, the HDI PCB project progressing, and deep partnerships with global semiconductor and electronics players, Kaynes is strongly positioned to capitalize on India’s 20% PCB CAGR, expanding EV and industrial markets, defense electronics demand, and broader semiconductor ambitions.
