Godfrey Phillips shares plunged to hit a 5% lower circuit following the announcement of its Q4 FY25 earnings.
The company reported a significant 70.6% increase in revenue for the quarter, reaching Rs 1,888 crore compared to Rs 1,107 crore in the same period last year. Net profit also rose by 30.4%, standing at Rs 279 crore against Rs 214 crore previously, reflecting solid growth. Additionally, EBITDA improved by 41.2%, amounting to Rs 269 crore versus Rs 191 crore a year earlier.
However, the company’s margin contracted to 14.3% from 17.2%, which might have contributed to the negative sentiment in the stock market. Despite the lower margin, Godfrey Phillips declared a final dividend of Rs 60 per share, with a face value of Rs 2 each. This dividend payout will be distributed within 30 days following the annual general meeting (AGM), subject to shareholder approval.
Godfrey Phillips shares opened at ₹9,221.00, reaching a high of ₹9,240.00 and a low of ₹8,718.50 during the trading session. The stock is near its 52-week high of ₹9,248.00, compared to its 52-week low of ₹3,310.00.
