On the reaction day the stock moved 1.0 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.7 pts more than its Paper & Paper 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 Paper Limited reported audited FY2025-26 results with revenue from operations growing ~10.4% YoY to ₹1,70,123 lakh. However, profit before tax (PBT) declined sharply to ₹2,536 lakh from ₹11,707 lakh in the prior year—a drop of ~78%—driven largely by a sharp increase in raw material costs (₹1,09,860 vs ₹97,465 lakh), higher other expenses (₹22,162 vs ₹18,046 lakh), and inventory build-up. Net profit after tax (PAT) came in at ₹8,891 lakh vs ₹8,740 lakh last year, aided by a deferred tax credit of ₹760 lakh. The company recommended a final dividend of ₹0.50 per share (25% on face value). Auditors issued an unmodified opinion. Post-period, the company's Kadiyam manufacturing plant faced an illegal strike by contract workmen from April 27, 2026, leading to a lockout from May 1, 2026, which remains ongoing.
Revenue growth is modest (~10%) but PBT collapsed due to cost pressures and inventory changes. The post-period plant lockout introduces operational uncertainty. PAT held up due to tax credit. Investors should monitor the lockout resolution and its impact on Q1 FY27 operations.
