Executive Summary
On one aligned company cohort, Q1 revenue grew +17.6%, EBITDA grew +18.0% and PAT grew +5.0%; operating margin changed +0.04pp. The same-store aggregate compares with median-company revenue of +16.3% and median PAT of +19.2%. The Q1 FY2027 revenue-loaded coverage set contains 672 companies, or 89.1% of the sector's 754 classified names.
