IOC - Q1 result preview

Indian Oil Corporation is likely to report a weak Q1FY27 performance, with broker Equirus expecting a consolidated loss. Equirus said IOC’s EBITDA may come in at around minus ₹135 billion, pressured by weak-to-negative marketing margins and inventory losses, partly offset by strong refining cracks and earlier-announced LPG compensation instalments.

According to Equirus, IOC’s net sales are estimated at ₹24,03,663 million, up 17.7% sequentially and 24.6% year-on-year. However, profitability is expected to remain under pressure, with EBITDA at minus ₹1,35,426 million, EBIT at minus ₹1,81,580 million, and PAT at minus ₹1,39,085 million.

The note also flags EBITDA margin at minus 6% versus 8% in the previous quarter and 7% a year earlier, indicating a sharp earnings deterioration. EPS is projected at minus 7.9, compared with 8.1 in Q4FY26 and 4.0 in Q1FY26.

Equirus highlighted a few key items for the quarter: OPEC+ supply outlook, LPG under-recoveries, Petchem pain, and capex progress. The broker’s view suggests that refining support may not be enough to fully offset weakness in the marketing and downstream segments.

IOC share price today

IOC share price today opened at 141.65 apiece on the BSE, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹142.25, and an intraday low of ₹140.15 per share.

Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has been consolidating within a ₹130-149 range since 23 March, with the stock lacking a clear directional trend.

According to Shah, the Average Directional Index (ADX) has remained largely flat during this period, indicating weak trend strength and a sideways trading bias. He added that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also moved within a narrow band, reflecting the absence of sustained bullish or bearish momentum.

Shah further noted that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has remained flat, reinforcing the ongoing consolidation phase. He believes a decisive breakout above ₹149 or a breakdown below ₹130 is likely to provide the next meaningful directional cue for the stock.
