On the reaction day the stock moved 2.7 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.3 pts more than its Sugar 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.
Ponni Sugars reported strong full-year results with revenue from operations growing 15.5% to ₹41,499 lakhs from ₹35,946 lakhs. Net profit after tax surged 149% to ₹4,803 lakhs versus ₹1,928 lakhs in the prior year. EPS jumped from ₹22.42 to ₹55.85. The exceptional performance was driven by a ₹5,164 lakh gain from an APTEL judgment awarding additional tariff revenue and carrying cost for the co-generation business. The board recommended a dividend of ₹5 per share. The auditor issued an unmodified opinion but included two emphasis of matter notes regarding the APTEL judgment (revenue of ₹3,301 lakh and carrying cost of ₹1,582 lakh recognized) and a transfer pricing dispute where the company wrote down ₹2,053 lakh of MAT credit and made additional tax provisions of ₹1,117 lakh.
The company delivered exceptional profit growth driven by a one-time favorable court judgment, while underlying operations showed solid revenue growth. The transfer pricing tax risk is a concern but management appears confident in its legal position.
