Surya Roshni's Q2FY26 performance was below expectations. Revenue grew 21% YoY to Rs18.4bn, driven by a 24% YoY increase in steel pipes segment, while LCD segment grew by 7% YoY to Rs4bn.

EBITDA/t for steel pipes increased by 73% YoY to Rs5,013/t, led by improved product mix (API pipes), pricing discipline and operational efficiencies despite a Rs500/t inventory loss. Management has further lowered its volume guidance for the steel pipe segment to 0.98 mnT due to the shortfall in Q1 and expects a consolidated...
JK Paper Ltd.'s (JK Paper) Q2FY26 result was broadly in-line with our estimates on key parameters. The management guided that the Paper and Paper Board segment continued to face challenges arising from higher wood cost and lower sales realisation due to cheap imports. This has adversely impacted profitability across the product segments despite increased sales volume over the corresponding period. However, on a positive note the performance of the Company's packaging conversion subsidiaries improved during the quarter. Further, the management cited that the recent changes in GST rates have also had...
Neogen Chemicals (Neogen) delivered a subdued financial performance in the quarter. Profitability was impacted on account of higher employee costs, rise in insurance premiums, increase in finance costs owing to rebuilding of the Dahej MPP (post the fire incident) and lower utilization and startup costs at Neogen Ionics. The demand for Electrolytes and Salts has been delayed by 6 to 12 months owing to the delays in EV ramp up. However we continue to remain positive on the battery chemicals theme as growth from EVs and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) will necessitate the creation of a domestic supply...
Greenpanel's Q2FY26 performance was significantly below our expectations. Revenue grew 18% YoY to Rs3.9bn, driven by robust growth in MDF segment despite weakness in plywood segment. Consolidated EBITDA dropped 17% YoY to Rs248mn, primarily impacted by an EUROINR forex loss of Rs 124mn and higher chemical prices. However, margins were aided by raw material optimization and improved power consumption efficiencies, and an EPCG benefit of Rs60mn. Management expects high teen digit domestic volume growth for MDF segment with high single digit to low double digit EBITDA...
Finolex Industries' (FIL) Q2FY26 result was a mixed bag as net sales was marginally below our estimate, while margins were beat to our forecast. Volume decreased by about 6% YoY mainly on account of prolonged heavy monsoon. The management anticipates a rebound in deferred demand once the monsoon recedes and does not foresee a significant overall decline in agri demand. The company faced global structural issues in the VCM market, which it is attempting to manage through long-term contracts to ensure continued supply. The management reiterated that the core focus remains on being a...

Somany Ceramics Ltd.'s (SCL) Q2FY26 result was below our estimates on key parameters. The company reported muted sales volume as Northern markets were weak due to excess rains. Further, the domestic market witnessed higher sales volume being captured by local players due to a substantial price differential resulting from poor quality and high levels of tax/duty evasion. This high level of evasion was expected to go down post-GST, but has persisted. On a positive note, the industry's overall export pickup (up 7% based on five months of data) is significant because it means a lot of Morbi players will start re-exporting,...
