Orient Cement Limited published the extract of its unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2025 in Business Standard (English) and an Odia daily on 3 November 2025, as required under SEBI LODR Regulations 33 and 47. For Q2 FY26, total income rose to Rs. 655.17 crore from Rs. 547.60 crore in Q2 FY25, up about 19.6% year-on-year, while net profit after tax jumped sharply to Rs. 49.09 crore from just Rs. 2.32 crore a year earlier. Basic EPS for the quarter improved to Rs. 2.39 versus Rs. 0.11 in Q2 FY25. For H1 FY26, total income stood at Rs. 1,523.82 crore (vs Rs. 1,249.99 crore) and net profit after tax surged to Rs. 254.46 crore (vs Rs. 39.04 crore), translating to a basic EPS of Rs. 12.38 (vs Rs. 1.91). The very high H1 PAT is largely driven by an unusually strong Q1 FY26 (PAT of Rs. 205.37 crore), which suggests a one-time or exceptional gain in that quarter rather than a steady run-rate.
The sharp year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit is a positive signal for shareholders and likely supportive of the stock in the near term, though investors should watch for clarity on the Q1 spike, as the much smaller Q2 profit indicates the underlying quarterly run-rate may be lower than the H1 average suggests.
