GMM Pfaudler shares were down about 5% at 9:55 am on Friday after the company reported mixed Q4 FY26 results. The stock was under pressure despite revenue growth, as operating profit and margins declined on a year-on-year basis.
The company posted revenue of ₹944 crore, up 17% from ₹807 crore in the same quarter last year. However, EBITDA fell 9.8% to ₹75.1 crore from ₹83.2 crore, and EBITDA margin declined by 230 bps to 8.0% from 10.3%. Net profit came in at ₹17.2 crore, compared with a loss of ₹27 crore in the year-ago quarter.
The results show that while topline performance improved, profitability was weaker on an operating basis. The fall in EBITDA and margin suggests cost pressure or a less favorable operating mix during the quarter. Even though the company returned to profit from a loss last year, the market appears to be reacting more to the margin decline than to the turnaround in net profit.
The stock’s 5% decline indicates that investors were disappointed by the drop in operating performance. Revenue growth alone was not enough to offset the pressure on margins, and that likely weighed on sentiment in early trade. The numbers suggest a quarter with better sales but weaker efficiency, which appears to be the main reason for the stock moving lower today.
