Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Century Enka posted Q3 FY26 standalone revenue of Rs 411.65 cr (down 16.6% YoY from Rs 493.4 cr). 9M FY26 revenue fell 21.6% to Rs 1,221.88 cr. Despite lower sales, Q3 PAT jumped 66.5% to Rs 23.87 cr (from Rs 14.34 cr) on better margins. 9M PAT rose modestly to Rs 61.78 cr. Q3 EPS stood at Rs 10.93 vs Rs 6.56. Company booked Rs 3.66 cr as exceptional item for new Labour Code impact. Auditor flagged the long-pending excise dispute in Supreme Court as emphasis of matter.
Profitability improved sharply on margin expansion despite weak revenue. Investors should watch the excise case outcome and Labour Code cost impact.
