Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
West Coast Paper Mills reported weak Q1FY26 numbers with consolidated revenue falling 8% QoQ to ₹954.65 Cr (from ₹1,041.29 Cr) and standalone revenue declining 12% to ₹555.86 Cr. Despite the topline drop, profitability improved sharply: consolidated EBITDA rose 24% to ₹155.11 Cr and PAT grew 31% to ₹60.26 Cr, with PAT margin expanding 190 basis points to 6.3%. Standalone PAT was largely flat at ₹41.05 Cr. Management blamed a sharp rise in paper imports hitting record levels, combined with elevated wood costs, for the volume and realisation pressure. The company is focusing on operational efficiencies and better product mix to protect margins.
Profitability is holding up well despite weak revenue, showing pricing discipline and cost focus. However, the management commentary on record imports and continued wood cost pressure signals near-term headwinds that may cap earnings upside and keep the stock volatile.
