ACC Q4 FY26: Net profit slumps 68% as revenue rises 18%
ACC reports Q4 FY26 net profit down sharply while revenue climbs about 18%, with record sales volume and a dividend proposal.
ACC Ltd posted a sharp drop in quarterly profit for Q4 FY26, with net profit down 68.28% YoY to Rs 238.25 crore, even as revenue from operations climbed 17.96% to Rs 7,124.47 crore. The earnings decline came amid elevated cost pressures driven by fuel, diesel, packaging bag supply constraints, and rupee depreciation, set against ongoing West Asia tensions. The company warned that these cost pressures are likely to continue into H1 FY27, even as it intensifies cost-mitigation efforts.
On the cost front, total expenses rose 22.71% to Rs 6,826.24 crore during the quarter, reflecting higher input and operating costs. Despite the profit hit, ACC highlighted that its revenue expansion helped offset some of the pressure from rising costs.
ACC also announced its strongest-ever quarterly sales volume at 11.9 million tonnes, marking an 8% YoY growth. This record volume underscores demand resilience even as margins come under pressure.
In line with the results, the board recommended a dividend of Rs 7.50 per equity share of face value Rs 10 each for the quarter.
To counter the pressures, the company said it is actively strengthening cost-mitigation measures through fuel-mix optimisation, higher renewable energy usage, and reducing logistics costs via rail and sea, along with disciplined production and inventory management. These steps aim to protect margins while revenue remains on an upward trajectory.
