JK Cement share price in focus after the company reported a mixed performance for Q4FY26, with steady revenue growth but pressure on margins and profitability. The results have led to a divided view among brokerages, which remain positive on the company’s long-term growth prospects driven by capacity expansion and strong volume outlook, but caution that rising input costs and pricing pressures could keep the stock volatile in the near term.
JK Cement posted revenue of Rs 3,887.5 crore in Q4FY26, marking an 8.6 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth compared to Rs 3,581 crore in the year-ago quarter. EBITDA stood at Rs 682.5 crore, down 10.7 per cent YoY from Rs 764 crore. EBITDA margin contracted to 17.6 per cent from 21.3 per cent in Q4FY25, primarily due to higher input costs and softer pricing in certain markets. Net Profit came in at Rs 333 crore, a 7.5 per cent decline compared to Rs 360 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
The company has recommended a final dividend of Rs 20 per fully paid-up equity share of Rs 10 each for the financial year 2025-26, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the ensuing 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company. The Final Dividend, if declared shall be paid within 30 days of the date of the AGM.
