Why did Venkys share fall today?

 

Venkys’ share price came under pressure after the company posted a weak set of results in the June quarter of financial year 2026 (Q1FY26).

 

Venky’s reported a sharp decline in its financial performance for Q1FY26, with net profit plunging 75.2 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹15.8 crore, from ₹75.2 crore in Q1FY25. 

 

This was despite a 7.2 per cent rise in revenue to ₹865.8 crore, compared to ₹808 crore in the same quarter last year. 

 

At the operating level, Ebitda dropped 77.3 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹23.5 crore, while operating margins shrank to 2.7 per cent, as against 12.8 per cent, reflecting pressure on profitability despite modest top-line growth.
