Bharat Rasayan shares dropped nearly 10% on Thursday, May 29, after the company reported weak financial results for the fourth quarter. While the full-year performance remained steady, the last quarter saw a noticeable decline in profitability and margins.
For the March quarter, the company’s revenue was largely unchanged, falling 1% year-on-year to ₹306.5 crore compared to ₹309.6 crore in the same period last year.
Net profit for the quarter fell sharply by 62.3% to ₹25 crore, down from ₹67 crore a year ago. The company also reported a steep drop in EBITDA, which stood at ₹40.2 crore, a 42% fall from ₹69.3 crore in the same quarter last year.
As a result, the EBITDA margin declined significantly to 13.12%, compared to 22.37% in the previous year. This marks a contraction of 925 basis points.
Despite the weak fourth quarter, Bharat Rasayan’s overall performance in FY25 remained positive.
Annual revenue grew 12% to ₹1,173 crore, up from ₹1,044 crore last year. The company reported a net profit of ₹125 crore for the financial year, showing a 52% rise from ₹82 crore in FY24.
EBITDA for the year increased by 48% to ₹175 crore from ₹118 crore, and the EBITDA margin also improved to 15% from 11% previously.
Bharat Rasayan share price have dropped by 12% so far in 2025. Following the Q4 results announcement, the stock opened at ₹9,000.50 today on May 29, 2025, down from its previous close of ₹9,748.50. By 12:00 PM, it was trading at ₹8,984.00 on the NSE.

Bharat Rasayan’s fourth-quarter results were disappointing, especially due to the steep fall in profit and margins. While the full-year figures show progress, the weak Q4 has created uncertainty. Investors may watch upcoming quarters closely to see if the company can improve margins and stabilise its performance.
