Shares of Fineotex Chemical Ltd slumped 8.69% to ₹234.99 in early trade on Wednesday, following the release of its disappointing Q4 FY25 results. The stock opened lower and continued to decline, wiping off ₹22.35 from the previous close of ₹257.34.
The chemical manufacturer reported a sharp 33.6% year-on-year (YoY) drop in consolidated net profit to ₹19.97 crore in Q4 FY25, compared to ₹30.1 crore in the same quarter last year. On a sequential basis, the net profit was also down from ₹27.63 crore in Q3 FY25.
Revenue from operations for the March 2025 quarter stood at ₹120 crore, down from ₹150 crore YoY, reflecting weakening demand or pricing pressure in its core business. EBITDA also declined by 44% YoY to ₹21.29 crore, while the EBITDA margin contracted sharply to 17.77% from 25.02% in Q4 FY24.
This marks the company’s weakest performance in the last five quarters across several financial metrics, including operating profit and earnings per share.
The dismal earnings have triggered a sharp reaction in the market, as investors booked profits amid a challenging operating environment.
