Astral Limited reported strong Q4 FY2025-26 results with consolidated revenue of Rs 20,885 million, up 24.2% YoY, driven by robust plumbing volume growth of 24.2% in a weak PVC industry (down 10%). Full-year revenue reached Rs 65,686 million (up 12.6%). Q4 EBITDA jumped 28.8% to Rs 4,002 million with margin expansion to 19.2% vs 18.5% in Q4 last year. Plumbing segment was the star performer with 40.5% EBITDA growth and 22.9% margin. However, Paints & Adhesives segment saw a 20% drop in Q4 EBITDA due to margin pressure. The company expanded pipe capacity to 417,645 MT and commissioned the Kanpur facility in October 2025. Board declared total dividend of Rs 4 per share (Rs 2.50 final + Rs 1.50 interim). Cash position stands at Rs 9,433 million.
Strong Q4 performance, especially in plumbing, demonstrates market share gains against weak industry conditions. Investors should note margin recovery and the upcoming CPVC resin plant (40,000 MT Phase I expected Q4) which could further improve margins going forward. The Paints & Adhesives segment's margin compression warrants monitoring.
