Kanchi Karpooram reported a sharp slowdown in Q3 FY26, with standalone revenue falling to ₹3,391.62 lakhs from ₹3,553.39 lakhs a year ago (down ~4.5% YoY) and ₹3,877.32 lakhs in the previous quarter (down ~12.5% QoQ). Nine-month revenue stood at ₹10,856.09 lakhs versus ₹11,779.02 lakhs last year, a decline of nearly 8%. Profit after tax collapsed to ₹44.64 lakhs in Q3 (vs ₹71.84 lakhs YoY) and ₹451.17 lakhs for nine months (vs ₹1,348.31 lakhs, a drop of about two-thirds). The company has a single active revenue segment — Camphor — while the Real Estate segment holds idle assets of ₹4,282.50 lakhs and the subsidiary's agro-trading arm continues to post small losses. A key disclosure: the company waived ₹56.45 lakhs of unpaid interest owed by its subsidiary Kanchi Agro Products and converted the loan into an interest-free term loan repayable by March 2028. Finance costs have surged roughly 10x YoY, weighing heavily on margins.
Sharply weaker profitability and surging finance costs point to significant margin pressure, which is likely to weigh on the stock and raise concerns about the underlying business. Shareholders should note the related-party interest waiver to the loss-making subsidiary as a soft signal of stress in the group.
