Mumbai, November 12, 2025: Jyothy Labs Ltd (NSE: JYOTHYLAB) shares closed over 1% lower after the company reported a 16.4% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit for Q2 FY25. The net profit stood at ₹87.76 crore, down from ₹104.93 crore in the same quarter last year, primarily due to rising expenses, despite steady revenue growth during the period.

Quarterly Financial Performance

Jyothy Labs reported a modest 0.4% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations, reaching ₹736.06 crore, up from ₹733.07 crore in Q2 FY24. Total income grew slightly by 1% to ₹753.04 crore, while total expenses rose 4% to ₹634.35 crore, driven by higher input costs and increased advertising and sales promotion (A&S) spending. Consequently, profit before tax fell 12.5% YoY to ₹118.69 crore, with net profit declining 16.4% to ₹87.76 crore.

On a sequential basis, net profit dropped 9.3% from ₹96.79 crore in Q1 FY25, reflecting a 2% quarter-on-quarter decline in revenue. A&S expenses rose marginally to ₹61.47 crore from ₹61.06 crore a year ago, indicating that the company continued investing in brand visibility amid competitive market conditions.

Performance of the Stock Market

At 3:30 PM IST, Jyothy Labs share price fell 1.18% to close at ₹309.60, hitting an intraday low of ₹305.60. Investor concerns over margin contraction following the quarterly results contributed to the decline. Over the past year, the stock has traded between a 52-week high of ₹502.90 and a low of ₹300.10, reflecting volatility amid competitive market pressures.
