On the reaction day the stock moved 3.5 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 3.3 pts less than its Sugar 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.
Dhampur Sugar Mills' board approved annual standalone and consolidated financial results for FY ended March 31, 2025, with a clean (unmodified) audit opinion from joint statutory auditors Mittal Gupta & Co. and T R Chadha & Co LLP. Consolidated revenue from operations was nearly flat at Rs. 2,656.38 crores versus Rs. 2,646.83 crores last year, but net profit fell sharply by about 61% to Rs. 52.42 crores from Rs. 134.52 crores. Operating margin compressed significantly from 7.84% to 4.05%, with the ethanol segment revenue dropping 37% (Rs. 812.24 cr to Rs. 509.96 cr) being the main drag, though potable spirits grew strongly by 45%. The board also approved a buyback of up to 10,81,081 shares (1.65% of equity) at Rs. 185 per share, for a total outlay not exceeding Rs. 20 crores, with record date fixed as May 23, 2025.
Sharp profit decline and margin compression, especially in ethanol, are likely to weigh on the stock despite the clean audit. The buyback size is modest (only Rs. 20 crores or 1.65% of shares), so direct shareholder returns are limited. Re-appointment of independent directors and continuity of auditors provide governance stability.
