On the reaction day the stock moved 0.5 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.5 pts more than its Cement & Cement Products peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Andhra Cements Limited reported widening losses for FY25, with a net loss of ₹15,211 lakhs compared to a net loss of ₹6,561 lakhs in the previous year — losses more than doubled. Revenue from operations grew marginally to ₹27,405 lakhs (vs ₹26,811 lakhs), while total expenses surged 13% to ₹44,979 lakhs, driven by higher power and fuel costs (₹15,440 lakhs) and finance costs (₹7,486 lakhs). Q4 FY25 also disappointed with a net loss of ₹4,991 lakhs against ₹1,878 lakhs in Q4 FY24. The company booked an exceptional charge of ₹626 lakhs towards a fuel and power cost adjustment from the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission. Equity fell sharply from ₹29,681 lakhs to ₹14,455 lakhs due to accumulated losses. On a positive note, operating cash flow turned positive at ₹5,955 lakhs (vs ₹2,672 lakhs used last year), helped by working capital improvements and a ₹6,202 lakh loan from a related party. A rights issue of up to ₹18,000 lakhs is in progress, with in-principle approvals received from SEBI, BSE, and NSE.
Shareholders should view this negatively — losses are widening, equity has been nearly halved, and the company remains dependent on related-party funding and a planned rights issue to shore up its balance sheet. However, the turnaround in operating cash flow and the upcoming rights issue offer some near-term stability for the stock.
