Aarti Surfactants' Board on May 12, 2025 recommended a final dividend of Re. 1 (10%) per equity share on a face value of Rs. 10 for FY25, subject to shareholder approval. The company also announced audited FY25 results, with standalone revenue from operations rising about 12% to Rs. 65,908.54 lakhs (vs Rs. 58,985.74 lakhs last year), but net profit falling roughly 33% to Rs. 1,499 lakhs (vs Rs. 2,226.69 lakhs). Q4 FY25 saw a strong rebound, with revenue up ~27% and net profit up ~76% year-on-year. Results include one-time items such as Rs. 420 lakhs in insurance proceeds from a 2022 fire and Rs. 634 lakhs in state government incentive. CARE Ratings upgraded the company's long-term bank facility rating from BBB+;Stable to A-Stable.
The Re. 1 dividend is a modest payout on a Rs. 10 face value and is unlikely to be a major yield driver for shareholders. The FY25 earnings dip is largely due to the absence of last year's exceptional items, while underlying Q4 momentum and the credit rating upgrade are positive signals that may support investor sentiment.
