DEE Development Engineers Limited caught the market's attention with a sharp 14% jump in its share price following the announcement of its unaudited consolidated financial results for Q1 FY26 ended June 30, 2025. The company posted revenue from operations of Rs 223.76 crore, a solid 21% rise compared to Rs 184.97 crore in the same quarter last year. Total income climbed in step, reaching Rs 227.85 crore — up 21% — thanks to both core business growth and a notable 28% jump in other income. While total expenses did go up by around 15% year-on-year, hitting Rs 212.07 crore, this was driven mainly by increased material costs and a 40% boost in employee expenses as DEE gears up for expansion. Still, the company kept depreciation and finance costs under control, showing smart cost management. What really stands out is the leap in profitability. Profit before tax surged a whopping 259%, climbing to Rs 15.78 crore from Rs 4.39 crore a year ago. After taxes, net profit skyrocketed over 310% to Rs 13.14 crore, signaling strong operational efficiency and healthy growth in the bottom line.
