AI summary

West Coast Paper Mills reported weaker Q3 FY26 results, with standalone revenue from operations falling 8% sequentially to ₹590.77 crore and net profit plunging 59% QoQ to ₹18.61 crore. On a YoY basis, standalone revenue declined 6% and net profit fell 68% for the quarter. For nine months ended December 2025, standalone revenue dropped to ₹1,791.15 crore (vs ₹1,880.31 crore) and PAT halved to ₹104.67 crore (vs ₹243.31 crore). Consolidated nine-month PAT was ₹101.75 crore vs ₹289.49 crore last year, a ~65% decline. Management cited rising paper imports causing pricing pressure and a planned maintenance shutdown in November 2025 as key headwinds. The board also approved the re-appointment of S.K. Bangur as Chairman & MD for 5 years from May 1, 2026, and Smt. Sudha Bhushan as Independent Director for a second term from May 19, 2026.

Likely market impact

Sharp YoY and sequential decline in both revenue and profit, driven by import-led pricing pressure and maintenance shutdown, signals near-term margin stress for shareholders. However, the company remains profitable with a clean (unqualified) limited review, and management expects the pressure phase to stabilize, which may limit downside if recovery materializes.
