The board of Universal Starch-Chem Allied, on February 11, 2026, approved the standalone unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, along with the limited review report from statutory auditor M.B. Agrawal & Co, which was unqualified. Revenue from operations for Q3 FY26 came in at Rs. 11,766.82 lacs, down about 8.5% from Rs. 12,855.72 lacs in the same quarter last year; nine-month revenue also slipped to Rs. 33,624.70 lacs from Rs. 35,275.59 lacs. Profit after tax for the quarter stood at Rs. 523.59 lacs (vs Rs. 702.06 lacs in Q3 FY25), with basic EPS of Rs. 12.47 versus Rs. 16.72 a year ago, though PAT jumped sharply from Rs. 76.46 lacs in Q2 FY26. On a nine-month basis, PAT recovered strongly to Rs. 349.44 lacs from just Rs. 26.73 lacs in 9M FY25. An exceptional item of Rs. 5.40 lacs was recorded relating to the incremental gratuity impact from the new labour codes notified in November 2025.
Weak YoY topline and a roughly 25% drop in Q3 profit may weigh on sentiment, but the sharp sequential recovery in profit and the clean auditor report limit downside risk. The stock reaction is likely to be mixed, with investors weighing the YoY decline against visible sequential improvement.
