Bharat Forge Slides Further as Weak Q1 and Margin Pressure Trigger Brokerage Caution

$BHARATFORG shares fell again after plunging 7.6% in the previous session, as weaker-than-expected Q1FY27 results raised concerns over near-term profitability and margins. Although revenue grew 19% YoY, the company reported a consolidated loss of about ₹90 crore, largely impacted by a ₹358 crore exceptional loss. Brokerages remain cautious, citing margin pressure and demanding valuations, with limited near-term upside; however, the longer-term outlook remains supported by expected growth in defence, aerospace and a recovery in the US truck cycle.
