JK Cement's board approved Q1 FY26 (ended June 30, 2025) unaudited results. Standalone revenue from operations rose 19.2% year-on-year to Rs. 3,149.82 Crore, while profit after tax surged 65.6% to Rs. 335.60 Crore, translating to EPS of Rs. 43.43 (vs Rs. 26.23 in Q1 FY25). Operating margin expanded sharply from 18.12% to 21.39% year-on-year, driven by better cost management. On a consolidated basis, revenue stood at Rs. 3,352.53 Crore with PAT of Rs. 324.25 Crore. The board also approved debottlenecking at the Ujjain unit, raising its capacity from 1.5 MTPA to 2 MTPA, and a Rs. 195 Crore investment for a new 0.6 MTPA white cement wall putty plant in Nathdwara, Rajasthan. The company recently completed a 60% acquisition of Saifco Cements for Rs. 149.79 Crore. The auditor highlighted the ongoing Competition Commission of India (CCI) litigation as an emphasis of matter, with penalties of Rs. 154.92 Crore and Rs. 9.28 Crore pending before the Supreme Court and NCLAT respectively.
Strong earnings growth, expanding margins, and visible capacity additions paint a positive picture for shareholders, though the unresolved CCI penalty matter continues to be a regulatory overhang that could materially impact the stock if the rulings go against the company.
