Pidilite Q1 Results Preview: Pidilite Industries, the adhesive and construction chemicals major, is scheduled to announce its Q1FY26 earnings on August 6, 2025. According to Zee Business research, the company is expected to report strong year-on-year growth across revenue, EBITDA, and net profit, backed by a revival in demand, especially from rural India and the impact of a normal monsoon.
Pidilite is likely to post revenue of Rs 3,694 crore in Q1FY26, compared to Rs 3,395 crore in the same quarter last year—translating to a growth of 8.8 per cent year-on-year. The demand environment has seen visible signs of improvement, especially in rural areas, which historically contribute significantly to Pidilite's sales mix.
Zee Business analysts also expect a 10 per cent year-on-year increase in volumes, led by both urban and rural demand, and better trade channel support.
The company’s EBITDA is likely to come in at Rs 873 crore, as against Rs 812 crore last year, marking a 7.5 per cent growth. Margins are expected to remain stable, with a slight uptick of 30 basis points to 23.6 per cent, supported by lower input costs and operating efficiencies.
Pidilite’s profit after tax (PAT) is estimated at Rs 616 crore, up from Rs 571 crore in the year-ago quarter 7.8 per cent YoY rise. The company’s bottom line is expected to benefit from steady revenue growth, modest margin improvement, and favourable tax treatment.
Ahead of the results, Pidilite shares gained 2.07 per cent to close at Rs 3,013.00 on Tuesday, reflecting positive investor sentiment. The stock is part of the NIFTY NEXT 50 index and has been a consistent compounder, buoyed by strong brand equity and market leadership in adhesives.
The company recently announced a final dividend of Rs 20 per share (2000%), with the record date being July 23, 2025. The board will meet on August 6, 2025, to consider and approve the Q1FY26 financial results.
