Stock market today: Showing resilience against selling pressure on Dalal Street, Om Infra shares surged over 3% during Wednesday's trading. The small-cap stock, priced under ₹100, opened higher at ₹87.99 apiece on the NSE, which turned out to be its intraday high. The small-cap stock with a market cap of ₹857 crore declared its Q1 results 2026 on Tuesday.
The small-cap company Om Infra Limited reported a net profit of ₹11.82 crore during the April to June 2026 quarter, logging an around 11.50% YoY rise from ₹10.60 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. This attracted the bulls' attention on Wednesday, despite the key benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, losing over 0.50%.
During Q1FY27, Om Infra reported a YoY rise of 19.20% in sales revenue to ₹123.37 crore. In Q1FY26, the company's sales revenue stood at ₹104.84 crore.
Operating performance also improved materially, with the operating profit margin (OPM) rising to 8.15%, up from 0.60% a year earlier. Profit before depreciation, tax and other adjustments (PBDT) stood at ₹8.32 crore, against a loss of ₹0.58 crore in the year-ago quarter.
On a consolidated basis, Om Infra recorded revenue of ₹127.51 crore and net profit of ₹11.45 crore, according to results-related disclosures in the company's exchange filings on the BSE and the NSE.
The earnings improvement comes alongside a strengthening project pipeline. Om Infra has emerged as the lowest bidder (L1) for two water infrastructure projects in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, with a combined value of around ₹1,050 crore, highlighting its expanding presence in water resource infrastructure.
The latest quarterly numbers, therefore, point to a significant recovery in profitability, supported by higher revenue and improved operating margins. However, converting its large L1 pipeline into firm orders and executing on time will remain key factors in sustaining growth in the coming quarters.
Speaking on the Q1 results 2026, Vikas Kothari, Managing Director of Om Infra, said the company delivered a robust performance in the June quarter, with revenue rising 20% and profit surging 900% compared with the same period last financial year.
"With two new projects worth ₹1,050 crore, for which the company emerged as the L1 bidder, Om Infra expects revenue and profit growth to remain strong during the current financial year. We are committed to channelising India’s huge water resources for the Nation’s progress, Om Infra MD concluded.
