Astral Reports Strong Q1 Profit Growth, Brokerages Maintain Buy Ratings
Astral Ltd reported strong Q1 FY27 results with a 48-52% year-on-year rise in net profit to around Rs 120 crore and revenue growth of approximately 16%. EBITDA increased by about 25%, though margins were affected by raw material costs and weaker performance in adhesives and paints. The company expanded production capacity and expects its CPVC resin plant to be operational by December 2026. Multiple brokerages retained or upgraded their Buy ratings, setting target prices between Rs 1,684 and Rs 1,950, citing market share gains and resilient demand despite industry challenges.
