IndiGo Q2 results: What to expect?

Kotak Institutional Equities

Analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities expect IndiGo to report a net loss of ₹1,574.2 crore during the quarter, as against a net profit of ₹2,176.3 crore seen in the previous quarter (Q1FY26).
 
On a yearly basis, the net loss may widen from ₹986.7 crore reported in Q2FY25.
 
Operationally, the brokerage anticipates net sales to rise 4 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹17,645.6 crore from ₹16,969.6 crore. Over the June quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26), net sales may drop 14 per cent from ₹20,496.3 crore.
 
Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation), however, is seen declining 24 per cent Y-o-Y and 76 per cent Q-o-Q to ₹1,241.3 crore. Ebitda margin could also contract sharply to 7 per cent from 25.5 per cent of Q1FY26 and 9.6 per cent of Q2FY25.
 
The brokerage said it expects a 5-per cent Y-o-Y increase in available seat kilometer (ASK) (towards the lower-end of the guidance) with flat load factor (Y-o-Y) at ~83 per cent. ASK measures an airline's passenger-carrying capacity.
 
It also builds-in flat Y-o-Y yield with 50 bps negative impact of mix (international growing at 2X the pace of domestic volumes).
 
"We expect RASK less CASK (excludes other income and forex) at minus ₹0.16 per ASK, against minus ₹0.38 per ASK in Q2FY25. The same reflects the effect of contained capacity expansion in the seasonally weak quarter," it said.
 
RASK is revenue per available seat kilometer, a metric used to measure an airline's revenue generation per unit of its capacity. On the contrary, CASK is cost per available seat kilometer, which measures an airline's operating expenses per unit of capacity.  ALSO READ | SBI Q2 results today: Analysts expect a flattish quarter from PSU bank

Elara Securities

Elara Securities expects IndiGo to post a 110 per cent surge in Ebitda, on a Y-o-Y basis, due to higher airfares, lower fuel cost, and 12 per cent growth in passengers in Q2FY26. It pegs Q2 Ebitda value at ₹3,924.5 crore compared to ₹1,871.7 crore reported in Q2FY25.
 
Sequentially, Ebitda may fall 27 per cent from ₹5,373.8 crore.  
 
That apart, it estimates adjusted PAT (excluding forex impact) to be ₹963.6 crore, and total revenue ₹18,407.8 crore (up 8.5 per cent Y-o-Y/down 10.2 per cent Q-o-Q).
 
Elara Capital expects IndiGo’s passenger load factor (PLF) to come at 82 per cent in Q2FY26 versus 83 per cent in Q2FY25.

Emkay Global Financial Services

Analysts at Emkay Global, too, expect IndiGo to report a net loss in Q2FY26. They peg the same at ₹1,727.7 crore.
 
Operationally, they project sales at ₹18,384.1 crore (up 8.3 per cent Y-o-Y/down 10.3 per cent Q-o-Q), and Ebitda at ₹3,369.1 crore (up 81.3 per cent Y-o-Y/down 37.3 per cent Q-o-Q).
