Shares of Gujarat Fluorochemicals declined nearly 4% in morning trade on Wednesday after the company reported a sharp fall in quarterly profit for the March 2026 quarter, despite posting healthy revenue growth.
As of 11:18 AM IST, Gujarat Fluorochemicals shares were trading lower after investors reacted to weaker profitability and margin contraction in the company’s Q4 earnings report.
For the fourth quarter, the company reported consolidated revenue of Rs 1,369 crore, registering an 11.8% year-on-year growth compared to Rs 1,225 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
EBITDA increased marginally by 0.7% to Rs 308 crore from Rs 306 crore in the year-ago period. However, operational performance remained under pressure as EBITDA margin contracted to 22.5% from 25.0% on a YoY basis.
The company’s net profit dropped sharply by 41.4% to Rs 112 crore in Q4 FY26, compared to Rs 191 crore reported in the same quarter last year. The steep decline in profitability appears to have weighed on investor sentiment, leading to selling pressure in the stock.
