On the reaction day the stock moved 2.7 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.9 pts more than its Paper & Paper Products 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.
TNPL reported a sharp drop in FY25 profitability, with profit after tax falling to Rs. 3.73 crore from Rs. 208.16 crore in FY24, even as full-year revenue dipped slightly to Rs. 4,588.31 crore. Q4 FY25 revenue rose to Rs. 1,393.79 crore, but Q4 PAT slipped to Rs. 22.12 crore from Rs. 32.99 crore a year earlier. The company blamed heavy paper imports from ASEAN at low prices and a 20-25% jump in domestic hardwood pulp costs for the margin pressure. Despite weak earnings, the board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 3 per share (30%) on a face value of Rs. 10, with the record date set as 9 September 2025 and the 45th AGM scheduled for 19 September 2025. The company also appointed R. Rengarajan as the new CFO effective 1 July 2025 and Yogendra Kumar Varshney as Executive Director (Operations) and Chief Risk Officer.
The proposed Rs. 3 dividend will exceed FY25 earnings (PAT of Rs. 3.73 crore on ~6.92 crore shares), meaning it will be paid largely out of reserves, which may concern income-focused investors. The steep profit decline and industry headwinds from cheap imports and rising pulp costs are negatives, but the continuity of a 30% dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns.
