The company’s revenue from operations came in at Rs 780 crore, also down 25% from Rs 1,044 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
The company’s EBITDA came in at Rs 83 crore, reporting a substantial drop of 46% from Rs 153 crore in the fourth quarter of the previous financial year. Its EBITDA margin also came in lower, down by 410 basis points to 10.6% from 14.7% in the fourth quarter of financial year 2025.

Profit after tax declined 56% to Rs 166 crore, down from Rs 380 crore posted in FY25, the company said on Saturday.
Jupiter Wagons shares have declined 14% since the beginning of the year and about 26% in the past 1 year. The stock has been in the news off late after a report said Indian Railways is preparing to launch a mega Rs 40,000-crore tender to procure 1 lakh freight wagons over the next three to four years.
Last month, international brokerage Jefferies initiated coverage on Jupiter Wagons with an ‘Underperform’ rating and a target price of Rs 200, implying a potential downside of 31% from Rs 290. Jefferies expects growth at Jupiter Wagons to moderate as the business remains heavily dependent on the lower-growth freight wagon segment.
The brokerage estimates a 23% EPS CAGR for Jupiter Wagons over FY26-30, significantly lower than Titagarh’s projected 43%, with wagons expected to continue contributing more than 60% of overall sales even by FY28. It also said the company’s new wheel manufacturing facility is likely to make a meaningful contribution only after FY28.
