The full read

Epigral's June quarter revenue hit ₹705.36 crore, up 16% from ₹606.54 crore a year ago. Reported profit fell to ₹99.18 crore from ₹160.41 crore, but the base quarter had a one-time deferred tax credit of ₹80.67 crore. Excluding that, adjusted PAT rose roughly 24%. More important, EBITDA margins improved sequentially, a sign that volume recovery and cost control are gaining traction. The incorporation of a new subsidiary for chemical manufacturing is an early administrative step — no financial commitment yet. For a company with a trailing P/E of 14.4 and debt-to-equity of 0.25, even modest operational improvement buys credibility. The next test: whether this trajectory holds through Q2.
