VST shares riseImage Credit source: ai generated
If you bet in the right company at the right time in the stock market, it does not take long to make profits. Today, cigarette manufacturing companies have done something similar in the market. If you have shares of tobacco or cigarette companies in your portfolio, then today must have been no less than a festive day for you. Amidst the daily ups and downs in the market, today the shares of VST Industries have made a tremendous comeback. As soon as the company presented its fourth quarter results, there was a rush in the market to buy its shares. Within no time this stock jumped by more than 15 percent.
The special thing is that not only VST Industries got the benefit of this excellent performance, but other cigarette companies present in the market also got direct benefit from it. Investors’ confidence increased in the entire sector, due to which good buying was seen in the shares of giant companies ITC and Godfrey Phillips.
Double speed of profit, company gave surprise
The figures that have come out for the fourth quarter can attract the attention of any investor. The total income of the company has increased from Rs 349 crore to Rs 457 crore. But the biggest surprise has come on the profit front. The company’s profit has directly doubled from Rs 53 crore to Rs 117 crore. Apart from this, the company’s margin has also jumped from 20 percent to 45.5 percent.
Huge sales of cigarettes, raw tobacco disappointed
If we look at the accounts for the entire year (FY26), there has been a sharp increase in cigarette sales. An average of 66.7 crore cigarettes have been sold every month, which was 64.7 crore at the same time last year. Net income from cigarettes has also increased by 25 percent to Rs 1151 crore. However, in the meantime there is also a disappointing news. The income from unprocessed raw tobacco has halved. It has fallen from Rs 116 crore to Rs 58 crore. The company says that the geopolitical tension going on in the Middle East has had a direct impact on its crude business.
ITC and Godfrey Phillips investors also got lucky
There is a rule of the stock market that when the results of a big company are very good, then investors feel that the environment of the entire sector is good. VST Industries’ results did just that. Due to this positive environment, today ITC shares also registered a significant rise of about 1.5 percent. At the same time, the shares of Godfrey Phillips also ran on the bullish track and rose by about 4 percent.
