Tata Steel's share price experienced a 5.4% decline during intraday trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) despite reporting strong earnings for the March quarter (Q4FY26). The company recorded a consolidated revenue of ₹63,270 crore, marking a 12.5% year-on-year increase, and a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹2,925.7 crore, which is a 124% increase compared to the previous year. Analysts attribute this performance to higher steel realisations and robust domestic volumes, particularly in India, where standalone revenue reached ₹38,654 crore. The EBITDA margin also hit a 15.5% high, driven by improved pricing and cost transformation efforts. Looking ahead, analysts remain optimistic about Tata Steel's prospects, especially in its European operations, which are expected to turn profitable by the second half of FY27. Management has guided for an additional 2 million tonnes in volume growth for FY27, primarily from the Kalinganagar facility and new projects. Brokerages have reaffirmed their 'Buy' ratings, with target prices reflecting strong confidence in Tata Steel's ongoing performance and market positioning.
