Shares of Hyderabad-headquartered MIC Electronics Limited (MICEL), a small-cap company with a market cap of Rs 990.32 crore, have released its December quarter results. According to the information shared, the company reported mixed results for Q3 FY26. Net sales rose 80 per cent year-on-year to Rs 90.23 crore from Rs 50 crore a year ago. However, net profit fell 13.36 per cent quarterly to Rs 1.88 crore.
Despite strong revenue growth, the company's profitability is clearly under pressure. Operating margins declined to 4.40% in Q2 FY26 from 10.06%, while PAT margins also fell to 2.08% from 5.73%. The stock has declined nearly 45% in the past year, while the Sensex has gained during the same period. This has raised investors' concerns about whether the company's strong sales growth will translate into sustainable profits in the long run.
