The company reported its highest earnings per share (EPS) in the last five quarters at Rs 6.14, indicating a positive trend in profitability and the ability to generate higher earnings for shareholders. However, the profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was Rs 24.52 crore, reflecting a decline of 33.9% compared to the average PAT of Rs 37.09 crore over the previous four quarters, which raises concerns about the company's near-term financial health.
In terms of sales performance, Delta Corp experienced a net sales decline of 2.26% compared to the previous quarter, which contrasts with the previous quarter's growth of 0.41%. Additionally, the operating profit (PBDIT) saw a decrease of 12.56%, while the consolidated net profit exhibited a substantial growth of 360.57% compared to the previous quarter, indicating significant fluctuations in profitability metrics.

Furthermore, the operating profit margin (excluding other income) decreased by 2.75%, suggesting challenges in maintaining profitability levels despite the notable increase in consolidated net profit. Overall, Delta Corp's financial results reflect a combination of strengths in EPS and significant weaknesses in PAT, alongside varying trends in sales and profit margins. The company also saw an adjustment in its evaluation over the past three months.
