HP Cotton Textile Mills reported a consolidated revenue of Rs. 3,445 lakhs for Q2 FY26, up modestly from Rs. 3,374 lakhs a year ago, but profit after tax slipped to Rs. 79 lakhs from Rs. 83 lakhs in Q2 FY25. For the half-year (H1 FY26), revenue rose about 19% YoY to Rs. 7,036 lakhs and profit after tax grew roughly 26% to Rs. 164 lakhs, translating to basic EPS of Rs. 4.16 versus Rs. 3.34. Despite the topline growth, costs climbed faster — power and fuel jumped nearly 27% YoY and employee expenses rose over 20% — putting pressure on margins. Standalone numbers are essentially in line with consolidated results as the subsidiary is tiny and inactive. Operating cash flow improved sharply to Rs. 512 lakhs in H1 FY26 from Rs. 168 lakhs a year ago.
Better top-line and strong H1 PAT growth are positives, but the Q2 PAT dip and rising energy and staff costs are watch points. Clean auditor review (no qualifications) supports reliability of the numbers; expect a neutral-to-mildly-positive reaction given mixed signals of growth with margin pressure.
