RailTel Corporation, India’s leading telecom infrastructure provider, displayed significant growth in Q2. Profit reached Rs73 crore, marking a 7% rise compared to Rs68 crore in the same quarter last year. Additionally, revenue jumped by 41% year-over-year to Rs843 crore, thanks to substantial growth across its telecom and project work segments. This revenue increase marks a 51% improvement on a quarter-on-quarter basis as well, highlighting RailTel’s expansion and consistent demand in its core services.
The company’s stock responded positively, rising nearly 2% after the earnings announcement. Over the past year, RailTel has emerged as a multibagger with an impressive 82.14% rise, and it has grown by 244% over the past two years. Though it faced a recent dip from its 52-week high of Rs618, RailTel continues to attract attention with its resilient performance and dividend declarations.
Despite its successes, RailTel's EBITDA margins experienced a decline, reaching 15.3% in Q2 from 21% a year ago and 18.5% in the previous quarter, reflecting ongoing market challenges. RailTel's operational and financial advancements are underpinned by its expansive optic fiber network across railway routes, serving as a competitive advantage in the telecom infrastructure sector.
Analysts note that RailTel’s high beta of 1.6 suggests potential volatility but signals its growth potential amid investor interest. With an upcoming interim dividend declaration and positive long-term projections, RailTel remains a noteworthy player among India’s public sector units.
