Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Ponni Sugars (Erode) Limited announced its audited financial results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2025. Full-year revenue from operations fell about 14.7% to Rs. 35,946 lakhs from Rs. 42,131 lakhs, while profit after tax dropped sharply to Rs. 1,928 lakhs from Rs. 4,686 lakhs (-58.8%), with earnings per share at Rs. 22.42 versus Rs. 54.49 last year. Q4 revenue grew around 27.7% year-on-year to Rs. 9,626 lakhs, but Q4 profit after tax of Rs. 453 lakhs was still down compared to Rs. 1,356 lakhs in the year-ago quarter. The company attributed part of the tax burden to a higher tax rate (34.944% versus 29.12%), which added Rs. 528 lakhs in deferred tax. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs. 3 per share for FY25, and the auditor M/s S. Viswanathan LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results.
Despite a weaker full-year performance and significant profit compression, the clean audit opinion and declared dividend of Rs. 3 per share offer some comfort to shareholders. The sharp decline in earnings and the higher tax rate are likely to weigh on investor sentiment in the near term.
