Black & White

Restaurant Brands Asia (RBA) posted a 12% YoY India revenue growth (inline), led by a 13% YoY increase in store additions. The same-store sales rose 5%, led by dine-in traffic growth and value offerings.

JFL delivered 12.1% LFL growth (delivery LFL growth of 21.9%) in Domino’s’ India in Q4FY25 amid subdued demand, beating peers for another quarter. Standalone performance was good, with revenues growing by 19.2% y-o-y to Rs. 1,587 crore on strong delivery-led growth in Domino’s.

Tata Power Company Limited’s (TPCL) Q4FY25 Adjusted PAT grew by 14.5% y-o-y to Rs. 1,025 crore and was a little ahead of estimates. The earnings growth is attributable to the traditional generation, coal, Tata Power Solar (cell & module plant), Odisha discoms and a lower tax rate.

Pricol reported a weak Q4 with core revenue growth/EBITDA margin (ex-P3L) below our estimate of 9.7%/12.2% amid muted 2W segment revenue (on OBD 2B regulation change), supply chain disruptions, and delayed exports.

Vishnu Chemicals (VCL) reported Q4 EBITDA at Rs640mn (flat YoY/QoQ), in line with our estimates. The Barium segment performed exceptionally well, with EBITDA doubling YoY to Rs345mn (+41% QoQ), led by a) price hikes in barium carbonate and precipitated barium sulphate (PBS) and b) benefits of backward integration from the Ramdas Minerals acquisition (baryte beneficiation plant).
