Atul (ISIN INE100A01010) reported a 92 percent year-over-year increase in adjusted profit after tax to INR 2.50 billion in Q1 FY27. The result came with revenue growth of 25 percent to INR 18.50 billion, according to DSIJ in its July 25, 2026 results update.

Profit growth outpaced sales

The earnings mix was particularly important because EBITDA margin expanded 540 basis points year over year to 21.3 percent in Q1 FY27. That margin exceeded the 16.2 percent estimate cited by DSIJ, while adjusted PAT of INR 2.50 billion exceeded the broker estimate of INR 1.60 billion.

Performance and Other Chemicals supplied the larger operating contribution, with revenue of INR 14.20 billion, up 34 percent year over year. Life Science Chemicals revenue increased 4 percent to INR 4.70 billion, showing a much slower pace between Atul's two main divisions.

Rating shifts after the results

Motilal Oswal Financial Services retained a Buy rating and set a price target of INR 8,400 in the July 25, 2026 update cited by DSIJ. The report used a reference price of INR 6,408, making the target 31.09 percent above that reference.

The more recent rating signal was cautious. MarketsMOJO reported a downgrade from Buy to Hold effective October 1, 2026, while citing a 20.43 percent increase in Q1 FY27 net profit and weaker technical indicators. The contrast leaves earnings momentum ahead of the stock's recent price trend.
