Page Industries Limited, known for manufacturing innerwear and holding the exclusive license for Jockey International in several countries, experienced a dip in its stock price following the release of its September quarter financial results. The company reported that its net profit remained flat year-on-year, standing at ₹195 crore. Revenue saw a modest increase of 3.6%, reaching ₹1,291 crore from ₹1,246.3 crore in the previous year. Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) also showed a slight decline of 0.7% to ₹279.6 crore, with EBITDA margins narrowing by 100 basis points to 21.6% from 22.6%. Despite these figures, Page Industries highlighted a 2.5% growth in sales volumes to 56.6 million pieces and expressed confidence in capitalizing on improving demand. The company's board approved a second interim dividend of ₹125 per share, adding to the first interim dividend of ₹150 per share, with a record date set for November 19, 2025, and payment by December 12, 2025. However, the market reaction was subdued, with shares of Page Industries falling 2.3% to ₹39,770, and the stock is down 16% year-to-date in 2025.

Impact This news has a moderate impact on the Indian stock market, primarily affecting the consumer discretionary sector. Investors will closely watch Page Industries for signs of recovery in consumer demand and operational efficiency. The stock's performance can influence investor sentiment towards other apparel and innerwear companies. Rating: 5/10
