The company disclosed that it has been awarded an export order amounting to USD 13,366,500 (approximately ₹ 113.81 crore) for developing an avionic system.

Based in Hyderabad, AMSL provides technology-driven solutions across various sectors such as infrastructure, transportation, aerospace, and defence, among others.
Apollo Micro Systems reported a consolidated net profit of ₹ 14 crore for the March quarter, marking an 8% increase compared to the previous year, propelled by enhanced operational revenues. In the January-March period of 2023-24, the company had reported a net profit of ₹ 12.9 crore, according to their statement. The operational revenues of the company grew by 19% to ₹ 161.7 crore, up from ₹ 135.4 crore in Q4 FY24.
Managing Director Baddam Karunakar stated that FY25 has been a pivotal year for the company, showcasing its best performance ever. The firm reached a significant milestone in revenue, totaling ₹ 562.07 crore, which reflects an impressive year-on-year growth of 51.24%.
Karunakar mentioned that EBITDA reached ₹ 132 crore, representing a 54% increase year-over-year, with a solid EBITDA margin of 23.50%. This achievement is attributed to a strong order book, effective execution of strategic defence programmes, and the smooth transition of several high-value products into production, he noted.
According to Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, Apollo Micro Systems share price have seen a spectacular run this week, with a rally of almost 30%. Momentum is on the bullish side but indicators are in overbought zone. Traders can hold on to longs but fresh long at current levels should be avoided, 165 - 170 is a strong support if any dip towards it can be bought on the upside 205 is the immediate resistance.
Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments explained that Apollo Micro Systems share price broke out of an 85-day-long cup and handle pattern at ₹ 155 and swiftly hit its initial target of ₹ 182. The multibagger defence stock is now extended from its 50-day EMA, making a mean reversion towards ₹ 170 likely. If the pullback unfolds with low volumes and compressed candles—indicating ideal quality—then the stock may resume its upward trajectory. In that case, bulls could eye the next leg of the rally towards ₹ 220.

Gross profit surged 50.1% YoY to Rs. 891 Mn, supported by improved product complexity and expanding precision engineering applications. EBITDA grew 67.3% YoY to Rs. 723 Mn, reflecting enhanced manufacturing efficiencies and the benefit of integrated high-margin machining. Profit after tax jumped 66.9% YoY to Rs. 570 Mn, underpinned by margin expansion, stable cost control, and continued gains in global market share despite external uncertainties. Commenting on the performance, Mr. Jaspal Singh Chandock, Executive Director of BFIL stated: 'The global precision engineering landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by increasing automation and the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies. In India, as we are transitioning from legacy manufacturing to real time monitoring, precision engineering stands at the core of this transformation, forming the foundation for future-ready, innovation-led growth, strengthening the country's position as a global manufacturing hub. On that backdrop, we delivered strong financial and operational results in Q1 FY26, reinforcing our commitment to engineering excellence and future preparedness. Revenue from operations for Q1 FY26 stood at Rs. 2,332 million, marking a strong 33% year-on-year growth over Rs.1,753 million in Q1 FY25. This performance was driven by an improved value-added product mix and increased operating leverage, resulting in a notable 635 basis points expansion in operating margins. Profit after tax came in at Rs. 570 million for the quarter, reflecting a robust 67% growth over the same period last year. On a sequential basis, the quarter saw a marginal decline, primarily due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, regional conflicts, and volatile tariff environments. Despite these external headwinds, profitability remained stable, and the company continued to strengthen its market position through focused execution and operational resilience. During the quarter, we focussed on boosting our capacity. The initiatives include the addition of a new Empty Shell production line, the 25T Hydraulic Hammer forging line among the world's largest closed die hammers and the integration of state-of-the-art 7-axis and 11-axis machining lines. Our product capabilities are evolving, with unit weights progressing beyond 1 ton and gradually advancing towards 1.5 tons in a phased manner. Our forging capacity is on track to increase from 100,000 tons to 150,000 tons annually, while machining capacity will rise from 45,000 tons to 80,000 tons per annum. We are also progressing steadily on our greenfield facility, in line with planned timelines. Geographically, we continue to pursue a diversified strategy to mitigate long-term risks posed by volatile tariff situations. The majority of our new capacities are expected to be operational within this financial year. As we look ahead, apart from boosting our capacity, we are reinforcing our position as a global precision engineering powerhouse from India. With a strong foundation, advanced infrastructure, and a clear strategic vision, we are poised to capture the emerging opportunities and shape the future of precision engineering.'
