Sonal Adhesives Reports Strong Cash Flow Amid Ongoing Profitability Challenges

Sonal Adhesives, a microcap player in the commodity chemicals sector, has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment reflecting its performance for the quarter ending September 2025. The company reported a notable financial performance, with operating cash flow reaching its highest at Rs 6.90 crore and net sales also peaking at Rs 34.91 crore. These metrics indicate a strong operational capacity during this period. However, challenges remain evident in other areas. The operating profit to net sales ratio was recorded at a low of 1.66%, and the profit before tax less other income stood at Rs -0.26 crore, highlighting profitability concerns. Additionally, earnings per share for the quarter were at Rs 0.45, which may raise questions about the company's overall financial health. In terms of stock performance, Sonal Adhesives has faced volatility, with a current price of Rs 47.55, down from a previous close of Rs 48.76. Over various time frames, the stock has shown mixed returns compared to the Sensex, particularly struggling in the year-to-date and one-year periods, while demonstrating significant growth over the five-year horizon. This juxtaposition underscores the company's fluctuating market position amidst broader industry trends.
