Are ITC latest results good or bad?

ITC Limited has reported its financial results for the quarter ending March 2025, showcasing a mixed performance across various metrics. The company's Profit After Tax (PAT) reached Rs 8,677.51 crore, reflecting a substantial year-on-year growth of 74.2%, which is the highest PAT recorded in the last five quarters. This indicates a positive trend in profitability for ITC.
On the other hand, the Profit Before Tax less Other Income (PBT) experienced a notable decline, falling to Rs -8,456.75 crore, which is the lowest PBT recorded in the past five quarters. This decline suggests challenges in this area of the company's financial performance.

In terms of net sales, ITC reported a year-on-year growth of 10.14%, compared to a decline of 3.39% in the same quarter of the previous year. Additionally, the consolidated net profit showed a significant year-on-year growth of 285.26%, contrasting with a slight decline of 1.06% in the prior year.

The operating profit margin (excluding other income) saw a slight decrease, moving from 35.12% to 37.32%, indicating some fluctuations in operational efficiency.

Overall, ITC has seen an adjustment in its evaluation over the last three months, suggesting some stabilization in its performance amidst the mixed financial results.
