Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals reported its Q1 FY26 results with revenue from operations at Rs 367.20 crores, up modestly from Rs 359.14 crores in Q4 FY25 but down from Rs 389.83 crores a year ago. Profit Before Tax improved sharply to Rs 5.67 crores from Rs 3.49 crores in the previous quarter, and Profit After Tax nearly doubled to Rs 4.75 crores from Rs 2.44 crores, supported by better operational efficiency and stabilization in raw material (maize) prices. EBITDA stood at Rs 19.89 crores with margins of 5.42%, up from 4.85% in Q4 FY25 but still well below the 8.22% seen in Q1 FY25. Management said the starch industry is showing early signs of stabilization and expects profitability to improve in H2 FY26 on better maize availability and recovering demand.
Short-term positive as sequential profit recovery shows operational improvement, but the year-on-year drop in revenue, EBITDA, and profits highlights ongoing margin pressure. Stock reaction may be muted unless H2 FY26 guidance materializes, so investors should watch for demand recovery and maize price trends.
