Railway PSU stocks like RailTel, RVNL, and IRCON have gained popularity among investors thanks to strong returns, government support, and increasing infrastructure spending. All 3 recently announced their Q4 FY25 results, offering insights into their financial performance and future potential. Here's a simplified comparison of how they performed and their Q4 FY25 earnings results.
RailTel Corporation of India posted an impressive Q4 with a 46.3% rise in net profit to ₹113.4 crore. Its revenue jumped 57% YoY to ₹1,308 crore. Though its EBITDA margin dipped slightly to 13.73%, its operating profit rose 53.8% to ₹180 crore.
RailTel provides telecom and digital infrastructure services to Indian Railways. Its strong numbers and capital efficiency (ROCE of 21.8% and ROE of 16.5%) make it a high-growth player in the sector. Full-year sales grew 35.4%, underlining its growth momentum.
Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL), responsible for infrastructure work like track electrification and station upgrades, saw its net profit drop 4% to ₹459 crore. Revenue and EBITDA also declined 4% and 5% YoY, respectively. The EBITDA margin slightly dipped to 6.7%.
Even though its ROE is 14% and ROCE is 14.7%, which are solid, the overall yearly performance was weaker than before.
IRCON International reported a 10% drop in revenue and a 15% decline in net profit YoY. Annual sales were also down 12.7%. However, the company still declared a final dividend of ₹1 per share.
IRCON handles major infrastructure projects across railways, roads, and overseas ventures. Despite weaker earnings, its financial health remains sound with ROE at 11.9% and ROCE at 12.1%.
All 3 companies play important roles in developing India’s railway infrastructure. But based on Q4 FY25 results, RailTel stands out with the strongest growth and profitability.
