Astral Ltd Shares Plunge After Q1 FY26 Results
Astral Ltd, a company that makes building materials, saw its stock price drop by over 8% on August 12, 2025.
This was because their profits for the first financial quarter of 2026 were down by a significant amount compared to the previous year.
Their overall income was also lower, and they made less money than last year.
One of the main reasons for this was the unstable prices of PVC, a key material they use, which caused them to lose money on their existing stock.
The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) also decreased.
However, the company believes that PVC prices are starting to stabilize.
Astral Ltd's share price fell over 8% on August 12, 2025, due to Q1 FY26 results.
Consolidated net profit decreased 32.5% year-over-year to Rs 81.1 crore.
Revenue from operations fell to Rs 1,361.2 crore from Rs 1,383.0 crore.
EBITDA decreased to Rs 194 crore from Rs 226 crore year-over-year.
PVC price volatility led to inventory losses and hurt realisations.
