Alicon Castalloy announced its Q4 and FY2025 results. Total income for FY25 rose 10% to Rs. 1,723.79 crore, but profit after tax fell 25% to Rs. 46.06 crore. Q4 showed a strong sequential recovery with total income up 8% to Rs. 425.61 crore and PAT surging over 11x to Rs. 9.43 crore from just Rs. 0.78 crore in Q3. However, year-on-year Q4 performance was weaker, with PAT declining 54% and EBITDA down 19%. The company also declared an interim dividend of 50% (Rs. 2.5 per share). Management cited one-time expenses, product mix shifts, regulatory uncertainty, and cautious demand in EV and CV segments as headwinds, while expressing confidence that the global industrial slowdown has bottomed out.
Short-term positive sentiment likely from the strong sequential recovery in Q4 and the dividend announcement, though declining year-on-year profitability and persistent margin pressures may temper investor enthusiasm. Shareholders benefit from the Rs. 2.5 per share interim dividend.
