Bharat Rasayan Ltd is making headlines today as its share price surged by nearly 11% in early trade on June 16, 2025. This sharp uptick comes even as the company recently reported a subdued quarterly performance and amid ongoing fluctuations in the broader stock market.
Let us take a closer look at the developments surrounding Bharat Rasayan and understand the key triggers behind its stock movement.
As of 10:05 AM on June 16, 2025, Bharat Rasayan share price was up by close to 11%. The stock opened at ₹9,260 and went on to hit an intraday high of ₹10,139. This rise is notable given the overall volatility in the market, suggesting renewed interest from investors.
The recent jump in the share price follows a period of weakness after the company declared its Q4 results. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Bharat Rasayan reported a consolidated net profit of ₹25.13 crore, a sharp drop of 62% compared to ₹67.11 crore in the same quarter last year.
Revenue from operations also declined marginally to ₹306.5 crore from ₹309.62 crore, reflecting a 1% decrease. The fall in profitability has been a key concern among market watchers as a result, the stock price plunged to a 52-week, after the earnings announcement.
Despite the weak quarterly performance, the company’s board has recommended a final dividend of 15%, amounting to ₹1.50 per fully paid-up equity share of ₹10 each. This announcement comes as a shareholder reward for the financial year ended March 2025.
