Data Patterns Q2 FY27: Profit -55%, Order Book ₹2,698 Cr

Data Patterns Q2 FY27: profit fell ~55% YoY, yet the stock jumped nearly 9% intraday on 9 Nov. Why? Let's decode DATAPATTNS beyond the headline 👇 ✅ Revenue from operations: ₹133 Cr vs ₹307 Cr YoY (-56.7%), against a very high Q2 FY26 base ✅ PAT: ~₹22 Cr vs ₹49 Cr YoY (-55%) ✅ EBITDA margin improved to ~23.5% from ~22.2%, helped by a better gross margin mix ✅ Order book: ~₹2,698 Cr (incl. negotiated); H1 order inflow ~₹1,046 Cr, about 3x H1 FY26 ✅ Management: FY27 guidance unchanged, H2 expected to be stronger as deliveries pick up ✅ Focus areas: radar, electronic warfare and communication systems; 100% stake acquired in ST Advanced Composites 📌 Key learning: in defence electronics, revenue is lumpy and milestone-based. Track order book, order inflow and execution, not just one quarter's profit. 💬 Your view: will H2 FY27 execution justify the market's optimism?
