AI summary

Saraswati Saree Depot reported Q3 FY26 revenue of Rs 208.4 crore, up about 44% YoY from Rs 144.5 crore. However, PAT fell sharply to Rs 3.2 crore from Rs 7.9 crore, down about 59%. For 9M FY26, revenue rose 4% to Rs 497.6 crore while PAT dipped 15% to Rs 20.1 crore. PBT margin compressed sharply in Q3 to about 2% from 7% YoY, as material and other expenses outpaced revenue growth. Auditor issued a clean limited review report.

Likely market impact

Sharp Q3 PAT decline and margin compression despite strong revenue growth may weigh on the stock; watch for margin recovery in coming quarters.
