Sudarshan Chemical Stock Jumps 2.8% as Q1 Profit Surges 87% to ₹55 Crore, Revenue Soars Nearly 4x

Mumbai, September 24, 2025: Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd (NSE: SUDARSCHEM, BSE: 506655) saw its stock up 2.82% during trading on Wednesday morning. The surge came after the company announced impressive results for Q1 FY26. Additionally, the stock reached a new 52-week intraday high of ₹1,580 in the trading session.

In Q1FY26, revenue from operations stood at ₹2,506.9 crore versus ₹633.6 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, nearly doubling. Profit after Tax increased year-on-year by 87% to ₹55 crore, and EBITDA more than doubled to ₹192.4 crore. Earnings per share increased from ₹4.3 in the last year to ₹6 per share, or an increase of 40%.

Pigments Business Drives Performance

The robust performance of Sudarshan Chemical was fuelled by its pigments segment, which helped it to record an ₹2,456.6 crore, compared to ₹589.5 crore in Q1FY25. The Others segment also had a negligible contribution to results, with revenue amounting to ₹50.4 crore as compared to ₹44.7 crore in Q1FY25. The substantial growth reflects the company’s global expansion and strengthening of its pigments business, supported by recent capital investments and acquisitions.

New Board Appointments

This strengthens the governance framework of the company as it continues to expand internationally.

Outlook

Sudarshan Chemicals is primed for a prolonged growth period with solid growth in its pigments business and better profitability. But investors will continue to focus on margin stability and how the new global acquisitions can be integrated in the coming quarters.
