Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (BPCL) reported its Q2 FY25 financial results today, leading to a significant drop in its stock price. The company’s stock closed 4.82% lower at ₹305.95 on NSE following the announcement of its quarterly performance.

Key Financial Highlights:

  • Profit After Tax (PAT): BPCL reported a net profit of ₹2,397 crore for the quarter, a notable figure, although the market response was negative.

The fall in BPCL’s share price may have been driven by market expectations versus the actual results, which, while significant, seemed to miss some of the anticipated targets. Additionally, the company’s EBITDA margin and profit figures could have weighed on market sentiment.
