Shares of PI Industries scale all-time high after robust June results

The shares of PI Industries were trading in the green on Wednesday and even rallied to hit an all-time high of Rs 1,966 apiece on BSE after the company reported robust numbers for the first quarter of the financial year 2020-21.

Taking into consideration the consolidated financials for the quarter, revenue was reported at Rs 1,060 crore, increasing by 41 per cent YoY.

The consolidated net profit of the company surged by 43 per cent to Rs 146 crore in Q1FY21 from Rs 102 crore in the corresponding quarter for the previous fiscal year.

The gross margin, however, slipped by 280 bps to 42 per cent in Q1FY21 from 45 per cent in the June quarter of FY20 owing to the change in business mix of export, domestic, and Isagro.

The company noted that its exports increased by nearly 23 per cent YoY, driven mainly by proactive raw material, inventory management, and capacity planning.

Looking forward, the business outlook remains robust, given that the company plans to launch two new products in the second or third quarter of the current financial year.
