Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Kajaria Ceramics' Board met on May 6, 2025 and approved audited FY25 results (standalone and consolidated) with an unmodified auditor opinion from Walker Chandiok & Co LLP. Standalone revenue from operations rose modestly to Rs. 4,218.82 cr (vs Rs. 4,103.02 cr), but profit after tax fell sharply to Rs. 204.14 cr (vs Rs. 381.45 cr) largely due to a Rs. 112.38 cr exceptional charge from fully impairing its investment and loan to the wholly-owned loss-making subsidiary Kajaria Plywood Pvt Ltd, which is being shut down by June 30, 2025. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 4 per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 9 per share (vs Rs. 12 in FY24). The company also withdrew a Rs. 30 cr proposed investment in Kajaria Ultima Pvt Ltd, dismantled an old production line at Sikandrabad cutting capacity from 11.40 MSM to 8.80 MSM, and appointed Chandrasekaran Associates as Secretarial Auditors for five years from FY26.
The bottom line took a big hit from the one-time plywood subsidiary impairment, dragging standalone PAT down nearly 46% YoY, while the lower total dividend payout reflects cautious cash conservation. Shareholders may react negatively to the earnings decline and shutdown news, though the core tiles business remains stable and the clean audit opinion provides some comfort.
