₹29.61 cr Revenue, up 18% YoY

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.
