Carborundum Universal reported strong Q1 FY'27 performance.

Consolidated sales grew 16.9% YoY to ₹1,411 Cr, with PAT up 23.4% to ₹76 Cr.

Standalone sales rose 21.2% to ₹846 Cr, driven by Electrominerals (+33%) and Ceramics (+15.2%). Abrasives PBIT margins were pressured by seasonal volume declines and higher oil-based resin/fuel costs.

Management increased FY'27 consolidated sales growth outlook (excluding exits) to 15% and Ceramics growth to 23-25%, citing momentum in Engineered Ceramics, Metallized Cylinders, and SOFC Ceramics.

Strategic exits of Awuko and Foskor Zirconia are progressing.

CAPEX guidance of ₹400 Cr is maintained.

The company is actively pursuing long-term growth, navigating challenges with a confident outlook.
