COMPANY ORDER TRACK RECORD

| Quarter: | Total Order Inflow (Rs Cr): | Key Awarding Entities: |
|---|---|---|
| Q2FY27 (Jul-Sep 2026) | 2308.64 | Adani Energy Solutions Limited, Larsen & Toubro Ltd (HYD22 & 23), Sterling and Wilson Ltd (HYD24 & 25) and Blue Star (HYD26), Rajesh Power Services Limited, Purvanchal Vidyut Vitrans Nigam Limited (PuVVNL) |
EXECUTION AND REVENUE QUALITY
Revenue growth has been strong, with consolidated revenue rising from Rs 438.40 crore in Q2FY26 to Rs 702.90 crore in Q4FY26. Operating profit margins have remained stable, ranging between 10.48% and 14.58% over the last three quarters, indicating healthy margin quality despite volume increases.
| Quarter: | Revenue (Rs Cr): | Net Profit (Rs Cr): | OPM (%): |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q4FY26 | 702.90 | 60.60 | 11.16% |

REVENUE GROWTH - ORDER WINS TRANSLATING TO REVENUE
As Diacabs has sustained order wins, with a notable acceleration in recent quarters, its annual revenue has grown from Rs 1115.90 crore in FY25 to Rs 1910.10 crore in FY26, representing a YoY growth of +71.2% based on the latest annual data. This demonstrates that past order inflows are effectively converting into top-line expansion.
WORKING CAPITAL AND EXECUTION CAPACITY
The company maintains a current ratio of 2.04x, suggesting adequate liquidity to manage working capital requirements for the existing backlog. However, the Total Liabilities/Equity ratio stands at -4.98x, reflecting negative equity due to accumulated losses or reserves, which warrants monitoring as the company scales operations. Operating cashflow was positive at Rs 77.30 crore in FY25, indicating reasonable cash conversion from operations.
WHAT TO WATCH
- Execution rate: Monitor quarterly revenue run-rate against the Rs 2308.64 crore backlog to assess conversion speed.
- OPM trajectory: Watch for margin stability on new orders given the variable pricing linked to IEEMA indices.
- Client concentration: Evaluate if any single client accounts for more than 40% of the total disclosed order book.
- Working capital management: Ensure liquidity remains sufficient as order book coverage exceeds four quarters.
KEY OBSERVATIONS
- Valuation check (as of 12 Aug 2026): P/E of 137.4x against ROCE of 3.49%. At the time of this article, valuation was pricing in execution improvement not yet visible in return ratios. (P/E is price-derived and will change; ROCE is from audited financials)
- Backlog signal: Book-to-bill of 4.81x. At this level, execution capacity becomes the binding constraint.
- Leverage flag: Total Liabilities/Equity of -4.98x; balance sheet carries elevated liabilities, and ability to fund working capital for the existing backlog should be monitored.
