Jyothy Labs Shows Resilience Amid Profit Dip

Jyothy Labs Ltd reported a 12.3% decline in net profit for the March quarter of FY26, reaching Rs 67.52 crore. Despite rising costs and inflation, the company achieved a 7.72% revenue increase. The GST rate cut aided demand growth, particularly in personal care. Future concerns focus on cost inflation.

Jyothy Labs Ltd witnessed a 12.3% decrease in net profit, posting Rs 67.52 crore for the March quarter of FY26. The drop comes despite a 7.72% rise in revenue driven by a 10.8% volume growth year-on-year.

The company's operating EBITDA margin stood at 13.5%, impacted by lower sales realization and inflation in input prices. Overall expenses surged to Rs 637.7 crore, reflecting an 11.8% year-on-year increase.

Chairperson M R Jyothy remains cautious about the future due to rising input costs. Shares closed at Rs 268.85, a slight increase from the prior close, amid concerns over crude-linked inflation and its effects on margins.
