Deepak Nitrite share price plunged over 14% on Friday after the company reported weak Q3 results. Deepak Nitrite shares declined as much as 14.10% to a fresh 52-week low of ₹1,921.40 apiece on the BSE.
The chemical company Deepak Nitrite reported a sharp fall of 51.5% in its consolidated net profit for the third quarter of FY25 to ₹98.09 crore from ₹202.05 crore in the year-ago quarter.
The company’s consolidated revenue from operations in Q3FY25 declined 5.3% to ₹1,903.40 crore from ₹2,009.23 crore in the corresponding period of last fiscal year.
At the operational level, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the December quarter plunged 44.7% to ₹168.5 crore from ₹304.6 crore, year-on-year (YoY), dragged by higher costs and lower realizations.
EBITDA margin in the quarter ended December 2024 contracted to 8.9% from 15.2%, YoY.
“On a broader industry level, there are initial signs of improved demand from international customers while domestic customers are expected to follow from the fourth quarter onwards leading to normalisation of demand patterns. Certain intermediates which witnessed transient feedstock increase are expected to witness margin expansion as raw material prices which were elevated are expected to ease,” Deepak Nitrite said in its investor presentation.
