The announcement details robust financial performance with substantial year-on-year growth in key metrics, significant volume increases in core business segments, and strategic expansions into high-demand areas like solar and communication cables. These factors are likely to have a material positive impact on the company's valuation and investor sentiment.

Finolex Cables Limited reported strong financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (Q3 FY26) and the nine-month period (9M FY26). The company's revenue for Q3 FY26 stood at approximately ₹1,600 crore, marking a significant 35% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 17% rise year-on-year for the nine-month period.
EBITDA also showed robust growth, with a 12% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 17% increase for the nine-month period. Profit After Tax (PAT) grew by 10% quarter-on-quarter and an impressive 18% year-on-year for the nine months. This performance was driven by volume growth exceeding 25% in the Wires and Cables segment, with specific product lines like Auto Cables (up 42%), Electric Wires (up 28%), Industrial Cables (up 28%), and Power Cables (up 22%) showing strong contributions.
The company also saw positive traction in its new Solar Cables segment, operating at 80-85% capacity. However, Agricultural Applications faced headwinds due to seasonality and pricing issues. Finolex Cables successfully managed rising commodity prices, including copper, by implementing multiple price corrections, covering most input cost increases.
In the Communication Cable segment, Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) volumes increased by a third, supported by hardening global fiber prices and increased demand. The company is expanding its preform factory and fiber draw capacity, aiming for 8 million kilometers of fiber draw capacity by the end of Q1 FY27. Capital expenditure for the quarter was ₹36 crore, bringing the nine-month total to ₹146 crore.
Cash flow from operations improved significantly, reaching ₹78 crore for the quarter and ₹220 crore for the nine months. A provision of ₹6 crore was made for gratuity obligations following the new labor code. Management expressed confidence in future growth, driven by increasing demand in sectors like data centers and AI applications, and is investing in expanding capacities in high-growth areas.
