Exide Industries Ltd. posted a robust 15.2% increase in its consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025-26, reaching ₹215 crore from ₹187 crore a year ago. This strong earnings growth was supported by solid revenue performance and enhanced operational efficiency.
The company's revenue climbed 9.2% year-over-year to ₹4,735 crore, up from ₹4,335 crore in the same period last year. Operational improvements were also evident in a 14.2% surge in EBITDA to ₹489 crore, compared to ₹428 crore previously. This led to a modest expansion in the EBITDA margin to 10.3% from 9.9%.
Shareholders are set to benefit as Exide Industries declared a dividend of ₹2 per equity share. The record date for determining eligibility for this payout is July 3, 2026. The dividend is expected to be disbursed within 30 days after the Annual General Meeting.
In the market, Exide Industries' stock saw a minor dip, trading down 1.59% at ₹354.80. This movement contrasted with the broader market's positive trend, as the NSE Nifty 50 registered a 0.43% uptick. Investors will now focus on Exide's future performance and market trends for the battery sector.
