With the headline numbers on the table, the next step is to weigh them against the most widely held narratives about ReNew Energy Global to see which views are supported by the data and which might need a rethink. See what the community is saying about ReNew Energy Global NasdaqGS:RNW Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026 ## TTM profit reaches ₹10.4b on stronger margins - On a trailing twelve month basis, ReNew Energy Global generated ₹132,196 million in revenue and ₹10,385 million in net income, translating to a 7.9% net margin compared with 4.1% last year in the dataset. - Consensus narrative expects revenue to grow about 18.2% per year with margins moving from 9.4% to 9.6%. The current 7.9% trailing margin and ₹10,385 million of earnings show profit generation moving in the same direction but still catching up to those margin assumptions. - Analysts also expect earnings to reach ₹20,500 million with EPS of ₹78.27, which is above the current trailing EPS of ₹28.56. The latest TTM figures are therefore a starting point rather than an end state for that view. - The current P/E of 18.1x, slightly below the US market on the figures provided, aligns with a story where earnings have already improved while consensus still anticipates additional improvement. ## Quarterly swings sit behind 162.3% earnings jump - Across FY 2026, quarterly net income moved from a loss of ₹198 million in Q3 to a profit of ₹777 million in Q4, after earning ₹5,131 million in Q1 and ₹4,675 million in Q2. This adds up to ₹10,385 million of TTM profit that is 162.3% higher than the prior year in the dataset. - Bulls argue that accelerated project execution and manufacturing gains can support rapid earnings growth. The shift from earnings per share of a loss of ₹10.70 in FY 2025 Q3 to positive FY 2026 quarterly EPS figures as high as ₹14.14 heavily supports the idea that the earnings base has improved, but it also shows how sensitive results can be to project timing and costs. - For example, total revenue moved from ₹18,472 million in FY 2025 Q3 to a range of ₹25,140 million to ₹38,998 million in FY 2026. This fits the bullish view of expanding capacity, yet the FY 2026 Q3 loss highlights that higher revenue alone does not guarantee smooth profitability. - TTM EPS of ₹28.56 sits well below the bullish narrative assumption of EPS reaching ₹116.91 by around 2029, so anyone leaning on that upside story needs to be comfortable with the volatility seen in the recent quarterly line up. Have a closer look at how bulls frame these swings as a launchpad for future growth while weighing the risks they may be underplaying **🐂 ReNew Energy Global Bull Case** ## Interest coverage risk versus pricing at 18.1x P/E - ReNew Energy Global trades on a trailing P/E of 18.1x, compared with 45.8x for peers cited in the dataset and 16x for the Global Renewable Energy industry. A key flagged risk is that interest payments are not well covered by earnings. - Bears focus on high leverage and refinancing pressure, and the combination of weak interest coverage with a P/E above the industry average challenges any assumption that the current ₹10,385 million of TTM earnings fully compensates for balance sheet risk. - Analysts in the dataset see around 44.7% upside from the current US$5.35 share price to a consensus target of US$7.74. The flagged interest coverage issue means a lot of that upside case would depend on earnings continuing to grow from the current ₹28.56 TTM EPS base. - Bearish assumptions of revenue growing 20.3% per year and margins moving from 7.7% to 11.2% still rely on higher future profitability, so the present interest coverage concern is a clear test for whether those projections can be supported by actual cash flows over time. Before you lean too hard into the upside implied by those targets, it can be useful to see how skeptics frame the leverage and interest coverage story **🐻 ReNew Energy Global Bear Case** ## Next Steps To see how these results tie into long-term growth, risks, and valuation, check out the full range of community narratives for ReNew Energy Global on Simply Wall St. Add the company to your watchlist or portfolio so you'll be alerted when the story evolves.
