Are Chemplast Sanmar latest results good or bad?

Chemplast Sanmar has reported its financial results for the quarter ending March 2025, revealing a mixed operational performance. The company achieved its highest quarterly net sales in the last five quarters, totaling Rs 1,150.88 crore, which reflects a positive trend in sales. However, profitability metrics indicate significant challenges, with the Profit Before Tax less Other Income (PBT) reported at Rs -86.78 crore, and the Profit After Tax (PAT) at Rs -54.17 crore, both showing considerable declines compared to the previous four-quarter averages.
The Earnings per Share (EPS) also reached its lowest point in five quarters at Rs -3.43, signaling ongoing profitability issues for shareholders. On a slightly positive note, non-operating income rose to Rs 13.89 crore, marking the highest level in five quarters, although its sustainability is uncertain.

In terms of quarterly performance, Chemplast Sanmar experienced an 8.83% growth in net sales compared to the previous quarter. However, the consolidated net profit showed a decline of 10.96% from the prior quarter. The operating profit margin, excluding other income, remained relatively stable at 3.19%.

Overall, while Chemplast Sanmar's sales figures demonstrate a positive near-term trend, the company is facing significant profitability challenges. Additionally, the company saw an adjustment in its evaluation over the past three months.
