Shares of the Tata group firm Tejas Networks slumped nearly 6% on Thursday, April 16, following the announcement of disappointing Q4 earnings. The stock saw a sharp decline, reaching ₹423.50 on the BSE from its previous close of ₹449.90.
The immediate sell-off was triggered by the company reporting its fifth consecutive quarterly loss. This financial setback signals significant headwinds for the high-performance telecom and networking product designer.
Analyzing the Quarter's Financial Performance
Tejas Networks released its Q4 results for FY26, revealing substantial financial deterioration. The company posted quarterly losses of ₹211 crore, a considerable increase from the ₹72 crore recorded in the same period of the last fiscal year.The quarterly performance compounded the annual losses significantly. The firm reported cumulative losses of ₹909 crore for the full financial year. This poor showing stands in stark contrast to the profit of ₹447 crore reported by the Tata group company in the previous fiscal year.
Revenue was the primary area of concern, with sales plunging by 82.5% year-on-year (YoY). For Q4, revenue dipped to ₹333 crore, falling sharply from ₹1,907 crore in the corresponding period a year ago.
Operational Metrics and Business Commentary
Despite the revenue slump, the company management highlighted key areas of operational growth. Arnob Roy, COO of Tejas Networks, pointed to significant strides in international business expansion for Wireless products.He noted securing the first commercial order for 4G/5G wireless products in international markets. Furthermore, the company announced a 5G Massive MIMO radio supply contract with NEC and successfully conducted 5G product trials for an operator in the Americas.
On the sales pipeline, the firm's order book stood at ₹1,514 crore as of the March quarter, demonstrating robust growth of 49% YoY. However, the financial reports also showed that EBITDA losses reached ₹118 crore, turning negative margins and marking a deterioration in the operating picture.
Technical Outlook: Consolidation vs. Breakdown
Amid the volatile stock movement, technical analysts are observing the stock's structure closely. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree, observed that the share has entered a "healthy consolidation phase" over the past five weeks.He noted that the formation of a classic pole-and-flag structure suggests a pause in momentum rather than outright distribution. Crucially, he highlighted that the price is maintaining support above the 10- and 20-week Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
Jain suggested that a technical breakout from this flag structure could propel the stock towards the 50-week EMA near the 540 zone. Conversely, a breakdown below this key EMA cluster would invalidate the current bullish continuation structure.
