The full read
Panama Petrochem closed FY26 with a strong finish. Annual consolidated net profit climbed 13.6% to ₹212.50 crore, while revenue grew nearly 10% to ₹3,077 crore. The final quarter provided the most momentum, where net profit surged 60% year-on-year. This jump, paired with an 18% increase in quarterly revenue, indicates that the company captured better product spreads or tightened its operations as the year ended. Management backed this performance with a dividend of ₹3 per share, a 150% payout on face value. This move shows they are comfortable with the company's cash flow. The next test is whether this profit growth holds up in the coming quarters.
