Shares of Dalmia Bharat surged 4% in the morning trade on Thursday after the cement giant posted a robust Q4 FY25 net profit of ₹439 crore, up 37.2% year-on-year (YoY), beating CNBC-TV18’s estimate of ₹295 crore. The strong bottom line was supported by higher operating margins and cost efficiencies.
However, revenue from operations dipped 5% YoY to ₹4,091 crore, missing the estimated ₹4,154 crore. Despite the revenue miss, EBITDA rose 21.3% YoY to ₹793 crore, with EBITDA margin improving to 19.4% from 15.2% in Q4 FY24. EBITDA per tonne jumped 25% YoY to ₹926, although sales volumes declined 3% to 8.6 million tonnes (MT).
For the full year, volumes grew 2% YoY to 29.4 MT. However, EBITDA fell 9% YoY to ₹2,407 crore, with per tonne EBITDA down 11% to ₹820 due to pricing and demand pressures.
The board declared a final dividend of ₹5 per share (₹2 face value), subject to shareholder approval.
Dalmia Bharat’s stock opened at ₹1,950.00 today, reaching a high of ₹1,980.00 and a low of ₹1,922.80. The 52-week high for the stock stands at ₹1,988.35, while its 52-week low is ₹1,601.00.
