Aarti Surfactants reported audited FY2026 standalone revenue of Rs. 85,913 Lakhs, up 30% from Rs. 65,909 Lakhs in FY2025. However, standalone net profit declined to Rs. 1,268 Lakhs from Rs. 1,499 Lakhs in the prior year, a ~15% drop. EPS fell from Rs. 17.72 to Rs. 14.99. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1 per equity share (10% on Rs. 10 face value), subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The payout is modest at ~6.7% of earnings. Additional items included re-appointment of cost and internal auditors, and reconstitution of the Finance and Investment Committee. Auditors issued an unmodified opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
Revenue growth is strong but the profit decline and modest Rs. 1 dividend may disappoint investors expecting higher returns, especially given the prior year's profit was boosted by one-time insurance and government grant items. The stock may see muted reaction.
