The full read
Century Enka's Q4 earnings were a sharp — and entirely margin-driven — beat. Net profit surged 478% year-on-year to ₹39.91 crore even as revenue fell 15% to ₹1,705 crore. Full-year profit rose 52% to ₹101.69 crore, helped by lower raw material costs. The board raised the dividend by 15% to ₹11 per share, appointed Singhi & Co. as the new auditor, and redesignated the MD/CEO. For a ₹994 crore market cap company, the profit jump is striking, but this is a routine results filing with numbers already anticipated by the market. The open question is whether Century can reverse the revenue decline without giving up the margin gains.
