The full read
Oil Country Tubular's audited FY26 results bring no cheer. Revenue fell 43% year on year to ₹70.09 crore, and the net loss nearly doubled to ₹61.48 crore from ₹31.86 crore. The numbers were in line with previous quarterly disclosures, so they carry no element of surprise. The company also appointed Mr. Ramamuni Reddy as CFO and redesignated Mr. Paruchuri Dheeraj Chowdary as Whole Time Director — routine governance moves that do not alter the fundamental outlook. An unmodified audit opinion means no fresh accounting red flags, but the weak financial performance anchors the score at a moderate level. For investors, the key question is whether the company can arrest the revenue slide in FY27; the current trajectory offers no comfort.
