Ambuja Cements reported standalone revenue from operations of Rs 25,052 crore for FY26, up about 20% from Rs 20,889 crore in FY25. However, profit before tax declined to Rs 1,167 crore from Rs 2,920 crore in the prior year, mainly due to lower other income (Rs 766 crore vs Rs 1,726 crore) and higher exceptional items of Rs 321 crore. After a significant tax credit of Rs 2,391 crore (primarily from reversal of tax provisions of Rs 1,180 crore following favorable court decisions and deferred tax adjustments), PAT rose to Rs 3,558 crore from Rs 2,835 crore. The results have been restated to include the amalgamation of Sanghi Industries Limited and Penna Cement Industries Limited (effective April 2024 and August 2024 respectively). The board declared dividend of Rs 2 per share (100%) and fixed June 12, 2026 as record date. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial results.
Despite strong revenue growth of ~20%, the stock may see mixed reaction as operating profit declined due to lower other income and higher exceptional charges. The large tax credit boosted bottom-line PAT by 25%, but this is a one-time benefit. The ongoing acquisitions and amalgamations signal continued expansion in the cement sector.
