Paradeep Phosphates shares rallied more than 4% in early trade on Tuesday after the company reported strong operational performance for Q4 FY26, with revenue and EBITDA posting double-digit year-on-year growth.
The stock touched an intraday high of Rs 127.85 on the NSE, rising from its previous close of Rs 122.59. Paradeep Phosphates opened at Rs 121.85 and hit a low of Rs 120.50 during the session. As of 10 AM, the stock was trading sharply higher as investors reacted positively to the company’s March quarter earnings.
For the January to March 2026 quarter, Paradeep Phosphates reported revenue of Rs 4,702 crore, up 12.1% year-on-year compared with Rs 4,194 crore in the same quarter last year.
The company’s operating performance also improved during the quarter. EBITDA rose 15.4% year-on-year to Rs 442.4 crore from Rs 383.4 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. EBITDA margin improved by 26 basis points to 9.4%, compared with 9.14% a year ago, indicating better operational efficiency.
However, net profit declined 9.6% year-on-year to Rs 156 crore in Q4 FY26, compared with Rs 172 crore in the year-ago period.
Despite the fall in net profit, Paradeep Phosphates shares moved higher as investors focused on the company’s strong revenue growth, higher EBITDA and improved operating margin.
On the technical front, the stock remains below its 52-week high of Rs 234.39, while its 52-week low stands at Rs 99.70.
Overall, Paradeep Phosphates shares gained after the company delivered stronger operating numbers in Q4 FY26, even as bottom-line performance remained lower on a year-on-year basis.
