Yeah, management is too conservative, lack of ability to think far ahead.
Otherwise these constraints could have been met. IMTEX is not a new event.

They are very decent results and I am pleased. Hoping that order book has grown too. Employee expenses and depreciation are anyway necessary to fuel growth so can’t complain.
Awaiting order book info and guidance

“Dear ShareholdersWe have commenced FY26 on a strong note, supported by a robust order book of ₹346 crore as of June 30, reflecting an 5% increase over FY25. With atypical execution cycle of four to six months, this provides solid visibility for sustained growth through the year.Our ongoing capex plan is progressing well. Phase-wise development includes a new facility focused on foundry, defence, and aerospace lines. Nearly 90%of local approvals for land acquisition have been secured, with final allocation expected in H2 FY26. This site will also act as a strategic base for future JointVentures—talks are currently underway with global partners for technology collaboration and international distribution.On the product front, we continue to drive innovation through automation and robotics. Our newly developed gantry and robotic-enabled models aredesigned for precision and scalability, significantly reducing human intervention.The NEXA series remains a key growth engine, having secured a ₹42 crore order for 160 machines during IMTEX 2025.Our focus areas—defence andaerospace manufacturing, expanded distribution, and strengthened technical and sales teams—set a strong foundation to achieve our ₹500 crore turnovertarget within the next 3–4 years.To support this trajectory, we are increasing our production capacity from 2,000 to 2,500 machines per annum by Q2 FY26. Our distribution footprint hasalso widened to 39 cities with the addition of new partners.Macpower remains debt-free with a net cash surplus, reflecting our strong balance sheet and financial discipline. We continue to prioritize cost efficiency,new product development, and responsible growth.Our unwavering focus on safety, sustainability, and stakeholder value reinforces our long-term commitment to excellence. With a healthy order pipeline of₹346 crore, growing sectoral demand, and ongoing investments in capacity and innovation, we are well-positioned to deliver industry-leadingperformance.
Not happy with only 5% growth in order book.

There is not point to be sad with that 5% order book growth, order book will increases gradually company is going to so many exhibitions this year. And this order book is enough for the 1.25 Year revenue in that mean time company will get new orders. We have to see how the margins will roll out next and how company will pan out revenue growth YoY every quarter.
Company is trying its best, As we have seen Company delivery highest ever Q1 till date and management committed to deliver each quarter as highest till date.

You should be happy! This is also on the backs of heavier execution this quarter than the previous quarter last year by roughly 10 crores ..

Order book addition in a quarter is not growing. Below are the figures for private orders received (which is the main source of revenue for the company).
Q1 Fy 25 - 68 Cr
Q2 FY25 - 88 Cr
Q3 FY25 - 70 Cr
Q4 FY25 - 78 Cr
Q1 FY26 - 74 Cr
It has remained within a range. While OB shows 346 Cr, we should try and understand the aging of this order book. How much of it is more than a year old? Anything more than a year old is unlikely to be executed.
Also the management is talking about expansion to 5000, 10000 machines. However, they are saying revenue of 500 Cr in 3-4 years. With their current capacity of 2500 machines, they should be able to hit 500 Cr with average realization of 20L. While it is really great the company is talking about further expansions, why are they unable to even leverage current capacity in the next 1-2 years? Why does it need 3-4 years?

Sitting Through the Cycle
I’ve been tracking MACPOWER for the last few years and attending their concalls regularly. Over time, I’ve noticed the nature of questions hasn’t changed much — and in many ways, neither has the tone of the answers. It’s easy to feel like one is going in circles.
Some time ago, @Samarth_Nagpal (whom many here might know) said something that stayed with me — that it’s okay to stop over-reading into things beyond a point. Since then, I’ve moved away from trying to extract too much from management commentary and started paying more attention to human incentives and context and only looking for revenue growth ( execution ) , rest should follow.
Whats assuring
- Promoters hold 75%, which keeps their skin firmly in the game.
- They’ve historically avoided debt — cautious about risk, interest costs, and bank dependency.
- In such a stance, raising equity via a QIP becomes the logical financing route — but only when equity feels cheaper than debt.
Last when they had that window when the stock touched ₹1700+. That they chose not to dilute at those levels means they likely believe they can unlock more value down the line — or that the timing didn’t feel right yet to the promotors.
Incentives are aligned. The optionality remains. And that’s what makes this phase interesting as the outstanding equity is changing hands quickly but cautiously.
What the Macro Is Saying
- FY25 listed corporate capex: $130 billion (highest since FY11)
- 157 companies spent >$100 million
- Monthly capex in Apr–May FY26: ₹2.21 trillion, up 54% YoY
Also noteworthy: Q1 is usually the weakest quarter for capital goods, but FY26 has started differently with stellar results for majority of the capital goods sector. This is not about one company doing well — it’s a sector-wide pattern showing operating leverage at play and demand holding up.
Final Thoughts
A probable case where macro tailwinds, rational promoter incentives, and adequate optionality (land bank, valuations, capital-raising headroom, JV) are quietly aligning.
That’s good enough for me to continue holding — not out of hope, not out of inertia — just calmly, with awareness.
And if one steps back for a moment:
- 60 acres of land quietly being acquired
- a potential JV in the background
- the best quarters for capital goods (Q3 and Q4) on the horizon
All seemingly converging in a narrow 6-month window: Oct 2025 – Mar 2026( Q3 and Q4 ) .
Feels less like a coincidence ??
— but maybe, just enough.

- Company is going to cater some direct export orders from Middle East in Q2.

Financial Model For FY26
Assumptions:
- Revenue - Management guided for 300-350, I have taken the middle of that.
- Margins - Management guided for 18%, to be conservative i have taken 17.5% and 18% is easily achievable because of higher value orders this year.
- Interest and Other Income - Negligible so taken as per past trend and on the basis of borrowings.
- Depreciation - Sightly increases because of new capex.
- Tax Rate - 25%
This gives the PAT of 37 Crore, which is almost 50% growth from last year.

Company is also open for component business for export in that Controllers and Enclosures were of Collaborator and rest all inner machines and components will be from Macpower. This way company starts Export exposure, Business will increases and Margins in this business remains same. This is successful as Europe Players have higher cost, it will help those Euro Players to get Machinery at lower cost and sell at high margins.
-
New 500 Machines capacity will be live from First Navratri and will be fully utilised. Current Capacity can do the maximum revenue of 500 Cr.
-
New plant will increase the realisation per machine. As separate line for each category will help increasing production for higher value machines.
-
New Plant:
- 25 Cr land cost.
- Foundry Setup.
- Backward integration for some components.
- Separate line for Defence Segment.
- Whole FY27: Phase 1 will be completed. (Phase 1 will increases capacity by 2500 Machines).
- New plant leads to backward integration which leads to increase in margins to 22-25% consolidated basis.
- Phase 1 needs total of 100 Cr including Land cost (25 Cr).
- Whole 100 Cr will be mix of Debt and Internal Accruals. No dilution in Phase 1 as company will get Debt at just 4% Rate.
-
New plant cannot generate any revenue in FY27 as whole year will go for setting up the plants.
-
As company is taking a Debt for Phase 1 if the debt will be of 100 Cr so the cost will be just around 4% which means 4 Cr. So that will not impact profitability significantly.
-
For FY28, New plant will be live and the opportunity size increase to the next level with 25% margins.

Business Update from EMO exhibition. Targeting exports now which if materialises could help the company in terms of delivering numbers plus opening up new avenues & brand visibility.
Now exports was something they weren’t very keen on if one goes back in time, with domestic demand being heavily bet upon.
