— 1 earlier story on Crestchem Ltd. →What's new
- FY26 revenue rose 18% to ₹29.61 crore, but net profit stayed flat at ₹2.71 crore.
- Board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per share.
- Approved ₹2.25 crore capital commitment in subsidiary Oleo Biosciences, a previously disclosed investment.
Why this matters
For a nano-cap with a market cap of ₹42 crore, profit stagnation despite solid revenue growth is a sign of margin compression. The dividend is modest, and the subsidiary investment was already known, so this filing contains no market-moving news.
What we're watching
- Whether margin pressure persists into FY27.
- How the ₹2.25 crore investment in Oleo Biosciences contributes to future earnings.
- Any update on the utilization of the dividend payout.
The full read
Crestchem's top line grew 18% to ₹29.61 crore for FY26, but net profit barely moved: ₹2.71 crore against ₹2.73 crore the prior year. The board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per share and formally approved a ₹2.25 crore capital commitment in subsidiary Oleo Biosciences. That decision was already disclosed, so no surprise. The investment is material at ≈5.4% of market cap (₹42 crore), but the lack of novelty makes this a routine update. Profit didn't budge despite the revenue jump, a point to watch next year.
