Everest gets ₹96 cr property windfall, but core revenue still shrinks
A one-time gain of ₹96.15 crore from selling the Podanur property lifted June-quarter net profit to ₹107.72 crore, but operating revenue fell 14% YoY to ₹418.70 crore.
— 4 earlier stories on Everest Industries Ltd. →What's new
- Everest posted standalone net profit of ₹107.72 crore for June 2026, driven by a ₹96.15 crore property sale gain.
- Revenue fell 14% YoY to ₹418.70 crore, but operating profit swung to a ₹37.11 crore gain from a ₹34.45 crore loss in March.
- The one-time gain represents over 11% of Everest's market cap of ₹844 crore.
Why this matters
The property sale was not previously announced and the large quantum is a positive surprise. It materially strengthens the balance sheet and could fund working capital, debt reduction, or shareholder returns. However, core revenue continues to shrink, and the company recently cancelled two large capex plans (Assam and Andhra plants) amid losses.
What we're watching
- Whether Everest deploys the cash for debt reduction or shareholder returns.
- If core revenue stabilizes or further declines in coming quarters.
- Any revival of cancelled capex plans once cash flow improves.
The full read
Everest Industries reported a standalone net profit of ₹107.72 crore for the June 2026 quarter. That headline number is almost entirely a ₹96.15 crore exceptional gain from the Podanur property sale — a surprise worth over 11% of the company's market cap. Strip out the one-time gain, and the core tells a different story. Revenue fell 14% year-on-year to ₹418.70 crore. The bright spot: operating profit before exceptional items swung to a ₹37.11 crore gain from a ₹34.45 crore loss in the March quarter. The cash from the sale shores up a balance sheet that recently saw two large capex cancellations (Assam and Andhra plants) amid mounting losses. Analysts may re-rate on the cash cushion, but the operating business remains the open question. Growth in core revenue is the next test.
