Albert David Limited's Board meeting on May 12, 2026 approved appointment of Mr. Amit Mahla as CEO (effective same day), filling a vacancy since Mr. Umesh Manohar Kunte resigned as Managing Director & CEO on December 18, 2025. FY2026 financials show significant decline: revenue Rs. 33,359.81 lakh vs Rs. 34,576.80 lakh prior year, with the company reporting a loss of Rs. 149.47 lakh (vs profit of Rs. 1,720.08 lakh in FY2025), and EPS of -Rs. 2.62 (vs Rs. 30.14). The Board recommended a 50% final dividend of Rs. 5 per share (face value Rs. 10), subject to shareholder approval at the August 6, 2026 AGM. Statutory auditors L.B. Jha & Co. issued an unmodified opinion. PricewaterhouseCoopers was reappointed as internal auditors and S. Gupta & Co. as cost auditors for FY2026-27. The company also updated authorized KMP contacts for SEBI disclosure purposes.
The appointment of a new external CEO with pharma industry experience may provide strategic direction amid challenging financials. However, the significant drop in FY2026 profitability (from ~Rs. 17 crore profit to loss) is concerning for shareholders. The dividend offer provides some return despite the loss-making year.
