On the reaction day the stock moved 0.8 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 0.3 pts more than its Civil Construction 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.
Popular Foundations Ltd reported revenue from operations of Rs 5,867.92 lakhs for FY25, up about 13% from Rs 5,181.90 lakhs in FY24. Profit after tax rose to Rs 380.87 lakhs from Rs 346.42 lakhs, a growth of around 10%. Basic EPS stood at Rs 1.87 versus Rs 2.31 last year, the dip mainly because the share base expanded after its October 2024 SME listing. There were no exceptional items. However, cash flow from operating activities was sharply negative at Rs -1,063.71 lakhs, worse than the Rs -629.72 lakhs used in the prior year, driven by a big jump in inventories (Rs 1,988.72 lakhs vs Rs 644.58 lakhs) and a fall in trade payables. Statutory auditors Krishaan & Co issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results.
Topline and profits grew steadily, which is positive for shareholders, but the widening negative operating cash flow and ballooning inventory suggest the company is tying up working capital in stock and not converting profits into cash, which investors should watch closely.
