Are SPIC latest results good or bad?

Southern Petrochemical Industries Corporation (SPIC) has reported its financial results for the quarter ending June 2025, showcasing notable operational trends. The company achieved net sales of Rs 1,535.00 crore over the last six months, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 74.59%.

Earnings per share (EPS) also saw an uptick, reaching Rs 3.28, the highest in the last five quarters. However, it is worth noting that the company's debt-equity ratio has risen to 0.60 times, suggesting a greater reliance on borrowing for operational funding. Additionally, non-operating income increased to Rs 17.52 crore, the highest in five quarters, which raises questions about its sustainability.

The operating profit margin, excluding other income, also improved, indicating a positive trend in operational efficiency.
