The full read
Duroply Industries reported a sharp reversal in Q4 FY26, posting a net loss of ₹2.45 crore compared to a profit of ₹2.73 crore in the same quarter last year. For the full year, net profit fell 62% to ₹2.94 crore even as revenue grew 8.3% to ₹402.67 crore. The earnings were burdened by a deferred tax expense of ₹2.94 crore and an exceptional charge of ₹27.5 lakhs related to new labour code compliance. Additionally, the company disclosed a ₹2.27 crore litigation-related loan. For a nano-cap with a market capitalisation of around ₹142 crore, such volatility in earnings is significant and raises questions about cost control and asset quality.
