Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd (FACT) has posted a remarkable turnaround in its Q1 FY26 earnings, driven by a surge in revenue and improved operational efficiency. The state-run fertiliser manufacturer reported a net profit of ₹4.3 crore for the quarter ended June 2025, a sharp reversal from the net loss of ₹48.7 crore in the same period last year.
Revenue from operations jumped 74% year-on-year to ₹1,042.77 crore, compared to ₹600 crore in Q1 FY25. The strong growth was supported by higher sales volumes and better realisation in key product segments. Operational performance also improved significantly, with EBITDA turning positive at ₹24 crore, as against an EBITDA loss of ₹56.6 crore a year ago.
Robust sales growth and better operational efficiency helped FACT swing back into profitability, signalling a strong start to FY26.
Following the strong results, FACT shares surged 5% in today’s trade. The stock opened at ₹953.00, up from the previous close of ₹947.50, and touched an intraday high of ₹999.00 while the day’s low stood at ₹933.30. The counter remains well above its 52-week low of ₹565.00, moving closer to its 52-week high of ₹1,112.00.
