West Coast Paper Mills has reported its unaudited financial results for Q3 FY26 (quarter ended December 31, 2025). On a consolidated basis, revenue rose marginally by 1% QoQ to ₹1,049.78 crores, while EBITDA jumped 34% to ₹121.32 crores and PAT surged 148% to ₹29.58 crores, with PAT margin improving by 200 basis points to 3%. Standalone numbers told a different story — revenue fell 8% QoQ to ₹590.77 crores, EBITDA declined 25% to ₹73.04 crores, and PAT dropped sharply by 59% to ₹18.61 crores. The Chairman flagged a challenging industry environment with rising paper imports, competitive pricing pressure, and weaker realisations across segments, though he said demand in writing and printing grades remained broadly stable. Management remains focused on cost control, raw material security, and long-term growth, expressing confidence that the current pressure phase will stabilise.
Mixed results: the strong consolidated QoQ recovery is encouraging, but the significant standalone decline highlights real pressure on the core business from imports and pricing, which could keep the stock rangebound in the near term despite an optimistic long-term outlook from management.
