1 June 2026: Quarterly Results Trigger Sharp Decline
Indian Acrylics Ltd reported a significant deterioration in its quarterly financial performance for the period ended March 2026. The company posted net sales of ₹74.00 crores, the lowest in recent quarters, accompanied by a negative PBDIT of ₹6.36 crores, signalling operational losses. The profit after tax plunged to a loss of ₹11.42 crores, a 148.8% decline compared to the average of the previous four quarters.
Margins contracted sharply, with the operating profit to net sales ratio falling to -8.59%, the lowest on record. Interest expenses rose by 22.06% to ₹13.61 crores for the nine-month period, worsening the interest coverage ratio to -1.43 times. Earnings per share dropped to a negative ₹0.84, reflecting the deepening losses.
The market reacted negatively, with the stock price falling 3.48% to close at Rs.5.83, underperforming the Sensex which declined 0.96% that day. This marked a difficult start to the week for Indian Acrylics amid mounting operational and financial challenges.
2 June 2026: Partial Recovery on Market Bounce
Following the sharp decline on Monday, Indian Acrylics saw a partial recovery on 2 June, gaining 2.92% to close at Rs.6.00. This rebound outpaced the Sensex’s 0.43% gain, suggesting some short-term buying interest despite the negative quarterly results. However, the volume declined to 38,382 shares, indicating cautious participation.
The recovery was likely driven by bargain hunting and technical support near the Rs.6.00 level, but underlying fundamentals remained weak. The stock’s performance remained vulnerable given the broader sector headwinds and company-specific financial stress.
3-5 June 2026: Gradual Decline Amid Mixed Market Movements
From 3 to 5 June, Indian Acrylics experienced modest declines, closing at Rs.5.98 (-0.33%), Rs.5.94 (-0.67%), and Rs.5.93 (-0.17%) respectively. These small losses occurred despite mixed Sensex movements, which included a 0.34% drop on 3 June, a 0.19% gain on 4 June, and a 0.10% decline on 5 June.
Trading volumes remained subdued, averaging around 15,000 to 17,000 shares daily, reflecting limited investor conviction. The stock’s inability to sustain gains after the initial rebound underscores persistent concerns over its financial health and operational outlook.

Conclusion
Indian Acrylics Ltd’s week was dominated by the release of disappointing quarterly results that revealed deepening losses and deteriorating financial health. Despite a brief rebound on 2 June, the stock closed the week lower, reflecting persistent concerns over operational inefficiencies and rising debt servicing costs. The company’s Mojo Score of 9.0 and Strong Sell rating underscore the cautious stance warranted by its current fundamentals.
Investors should note the company’s ongoing underperformance relative to the Sensex and the petrochemicals sector’s broader challenges. The lack of positive catalysts during the week suggests that Indian Acrylics remains under pressure until there is clear evidence of stabilisation or turnaround in its financial metrics.
