On the reaction day the stock moved 2.5 pts more than Nifty Smallcap 250 and 1.8 pts more than its Specialty Chemicals peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Aarti Industries reported audited results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025. Consolidated revenue from operations (gross) grew ~14.8% YoY to Rs. 8,046 Crs from Rs. 7,011 Crs, with standalone net revenue rising ~15% to Rs. 7,304 Crs. However, profitability was under pressure: consolidated PAT fell ~20% to Rs. 331 Crs (vs Rs. 416 Crs), and standalone PAT dropped to Rs. 340 Crs from Rs. 417 Crs. Operating (EBITDA) margin compressed to 12.4% in FY25 from 13.9% in FY24, reflecting higher raw material and finance costs. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs. 1 per share (20%) on face value of Rs. 5, subject to shareholder approval. Statutory auditor Gokhale & Sathe issued an unmodified audit opinion, and credit ratings were reaffirmed at AA/Stable.
Mixed bag for shareholders - topline growth is healthy but margins are clearly squeezed and bottomline has shrunk despite higher sales. The Rs. 1 dividend offers modest yield but the market may focus on the ~20% PAT decline and margin compression in the near term.
