Ambuja Cements’ profit jumped by 78%
Adani Group-owned Ambuja Cements has declared excellent results for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2025-26, and these figures have attracted the attention of market analysts. There has been a huge jump of 78 percent in the company’s profits as compared to the same quarter last year.
Fast pace of profit, profit increased by 78%
During the fourth quarter ended in March, the company’s net profit has been recorded at Rs 1,830 crore. If we compare it with the same period of the last financial year, this figure was Rs 1,025 crore. This 78% increase reflects the company’s strong sales and better operations. Not only profit, the company’s revenue from operations has also increased by 10% to Rs 10,892 crore. The most surprising figure is on a quarter-to-quarter (QoQ) basis. Compared to the previous quarter (October-December), the company’s net profit has registered a huge increase of 664%.
Dividend money will come into bank account
Its investors are also going to get the direct benefit of increasing earnings of the company. The board of Ambuja Cements has recommended a dividend of Rs 2 per equity share to its shareholders for the financial year 2025-26. The company has fixed June 12, 2026 as the ‘record date’ for this. In simple words, those who have shares of the company in their demat account on this day will get the benefit of this dividend. After the formal approval of the shareholders, this amount will start coming into the accounts of investors on or after July 1, 2026.
The company sold 19.9 million tonnes of cement
Ambuja has created its highest ever sales record in this quarter. The company sold a total of 19.9 million tonnes of cement, which is a growth of 10% on an annual basis. Another thing that increases the confidence of investors is that the company remains completely debt-free. Its operating margin was 13.4%. Taking rapid steps towards expansion, the company has started a 3 MTPA capacity line in Jodhpur. Besides, the trial run of the new line is also going on in Dahej. Apart from this, the merger of Sanghi and Penna Cement with Ambuja has also been completed, which has further strengthened the company’s hold in the market.
Weak monsoon can spoil the game
Even though the results have been excellent, management has also cautioned about some future challenges. The cost of fuel and diesel has increased due to the ongoing tension in West Asia. Apart from this, the weakness of the rupee has also put pressure on profits, and this situation may persist till the first half of FY 2027. According to the company’s CEO Vinod Baheti, despite these challenges, financial year 2026 was a year of strength for the company, achieving record annual sales of 73.7 million tonnes and total revenue of Rs 40,656 crore. However, given the initial estimates of weak monsoon and geopolitical tensions, the management has expected only 5% growth in demand for the cement industry for FY 2027.
