Ambuja Cements has fixed June 12, 2026 as the Record Date for dividend entitlement. The Board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 2.00 per equity share (100%) for FY2025-26, payable after July 1, 2026 upon shareholder approval at the AGM on June 26, 2026. For FY2026, standalone revenue grew 12.5% to Rs. 25,828 crore, while profit after tax surged 25.5% to Rs. 3,558 crore. However, this profit growth is significantly inflated by a one-time tax credit of Rs. 2,391 crore due to favorable court decisions on historical tax positions. Without this tax benefit, operating profit actually declined due to margin compression. The results have been restated to reflect the amalgamation of Sanghi Industries Limited and Penna Cement Industries Limited with effect from April 1, 2024 and August 16, 2024 respectively. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified opinion.
While the company declared a steady dividend and reported 25.5% PAT growth, the core operating performance showed margin compression due to higher input costs and exceptional items of Rs. 321 crore (net). The massive tax write-back inflated profits and investors should focus on underlying operational performance rather than headline profit numbers.
