Gujarat Cotex Ltd reported Q1 FY26 unaudited results with revenue from operations of ₹447.17 lakhs, down about 37% from ₹712.72 lakhs in the same quarter last year. Despite the sharp revenue fall, the company posted a net profit of ₹40.59 lakhs, more than double the ₹20.14 lakhs earned in Q1 FY25. Profitability improved as total expenses fell faster than revenue, lifting the operating margin from around 2.8% to 8.3%. EPS for the quarter stood at ₹0.28 versus ₹0.03 in the year-ago quarter. The statutory auditor, Pawan Siddharth & Co, issued a clean limited review report with no emphasis of matter or qualifications.
The steep drop in revenue is a concern, but the strong jump in profit and margin expansion point to better cost control or a shift to higher-margin business. Near-term stock reaction may be mixed until investors see whether the topline weakness is temporary or part of a longer trend.
