On the reaction day the stock moved 1.5 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 0.7 pts less than its Electrodes & Refractories peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Orient Ceratech reported strong FY26 results with standalone revenue growing 21.9% to ₹40,539 Lacs (FY25: ₹33,263 Lacs) and PAT surging 94% to ₹1,868 Lacs (FY25: ₹961 Lacs). Consolidated PAT was even higher at ₹2,186 Lacs (up 120%). The auditors issued an unmodified opinion. The board declared a dividend of ₹0.35 per share (35%). An exceptional charge of ₹169.28 Lacs (standalone) was recognised due to the new Labour Codes impact on employee benefits — classified as non-recurring. Additional depreciation of ₹338.21 Lacs was charged due to revised useful life of wind turbines. The company has approved sale of its Thermal Power Station at Porbandar for ₹3.75 Crore to SS Fabrication; it has been reclassified as an Asset Held for Sale. The Power division segment reported a loss of ₹432.76 Lacs vs a small profit of ₹9.54 Lacs in the prior year. Management changes include appointment of Mr. Krupal Upadhyay as Company Secretary and re-appointment of Mr. Ketan Shrimankar as Independent Director.
Revenue and profit growth are strong, but the power division continues to be a drag on performance. The asset sale and ongoing debt reduction (borrowings fell from ₹4,552 Lacs to ₹2,411 Lacs) are positives. The exceptional labour code charge is non-recurring and should not materially affect forward earnings.
