Blue Star Limited reported consolidated revenue of Rs 12,401.99 crore for FY 2025-26, up 3.6% from Rs 11,967.65 crore in the prior year. Profit after tax declined to Rs 527.33 crore from Rs 591.28 crore (down ~10.8%), primarily due to a one-time charge of Rs 56.35 crore for new Labour Codes in Q3, partially offset by reversal of Rs 18.80 crore in Q4. Operating margin expanded marginally from 7.32% to 7.50%. The company reported exceptional items (net gain of Rs 38.83 crore) and share of profit from joint ventures of Rs 0.56 crore. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 8.50 per share (down from Rs 9 per share last year). Statutory auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells issued unmodified audit opinions on both standalone and consolidated results.
PAT decline of ~10.8% despite steady revenue growth reflects the one-time Labour Code impact; underlying operational performance remains stable with slight margin expansion. The reduced dividend signals management caution on earnings amid regulatory charges.
