The full read
Arex Industries has formally confirmed what the market already priced in: FY26 was a year of top-line softness and sharper profit erosion. Audited standalone numbers show revenue slipped roughly 3% while net profit collapsed 44%, implying significant margin compression. The board also recommended a ₹2.50 per share dividend, offering a partial return to shareholders. For a nano-cap company, such a profit drop is a clear signal of headwinds, but the lack of any surprise means the stock may have already adjusted. The narrative now shifts to FY27 — whether Arex can hold revenue flat and restore margins.
