Tata Steel Q1 FY26 Financial Highlights

Tata Steel in Q1 FY26 reported a consolidated net profit, or PAT, of Rs. 2,078 crore, up 116% YoY from Rs. 960 crore in the same quarter last year. The company's revenue from operations stood at Rs. 53,178 crore, down slightly from Rs. 54,771 crore in Q1 FY25 due to softer steel prices, but operating margins remained resilient. EBITDA rose to Rs. 7,584 crore, while earnings per share doubled to Rs. 1.70 from Rs. 0.80 last year. Profit before tax increased 30% YoY to Rs 2,987 crore.
The company has benefited from sectoral tailwinds, including Chinese steel production cuts and increased domestic infrastructure spending, which have supported demand and pricing for steel.

Analyst View and Stock Outlook

According to Motilal Oswal Equity Research, "TATA is one of the largest players in India's steel sector and is set to benefit from improving steel price realisations, operating efficiencies, and a strong domestic demand outlook. While near-term challenges persist due to global tariff uncertainties, the long-term outlook remains strong. At the current market price, TATA is trading at 7.6x EV/EBITDA and 4.1x FY27E P/B. All positives are well priced in, and we reiterate our Neutral rating with an SOTP-based target price of ₹180 per share."

Technical indicators also support a mildly bullish trend, with moving averages showing strong support. Historically, Tata Steel has delivered positive returns in October, averaging +3.65%, particularly following strong quarterly performances. This Tata Group stock is a major Nifty 50 constituent and continues to be heavily held by both domestic and foreign institutional investors.
