The full read
Manaksia grew its revenue to ₹784.09 cr in FY26, but couldn't turn that into profit growth. Net profit fell to ₹52.92 cr from ₹58.12 cr, signaling cost pressures or a mix shift in its metal and packaging segments. The market cap sits at just ₹421 cr, making this a nano-cap where small profit swings matter. Alongside the numbers, the board re-appointed MD Suresh Kumar Agrawal for another three years, locking in leadership continuity as the company works through the planned demerger of its metal division. This was a routine filing with no new strategic surprises. The key is the divergence between the revenue line and the profit line, and the signal that margin compression is the near-term story.
