Octavius Plantations reported Q2 FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 599.69 lakhs, sharply lower than Rs 1,379.04 lakhs in the same quarter last year. For the half year ended September 2025, revenue fell to Rs 1,155.66 lakhs versus Rs 1,876.51 lakhs in H1 FY25, a drop of roughly 38%. Net profit after tax for H1 still rose modestly to Rs 38.51 lakhs from Rs 34.74 lakhs, with EPS of Rs 1.28. The half-year cash flow statement shows a deeply negative operating cash flow of about Rs -1,207 lakhs, and the company funded the gap by taking on Rs 1,251 lakhs of fresh borrowings. Short-term borrowings on the balance sheet have nearly tripled to Rs 1,965 lakhs (from Rs 710 lakhs as of March 2025), putting current borrowings almost at par with total equity of Rs 1,940.97 lakhs. The statutory auditor (V. Singhi & Associates) issued a clean limited review report with no qualifications.
The steep revenue decline and very weak operating cash flow, combined with a sharp jump in short-term debt, are negative signals that could weigh on the stock. Profit holding up year-on-year and a clean auditor review provide some comfort, but investors should watch for signs of revenue recovery and de-leveraging in coming quarters.
