Kaveri Seed reports strong H1FY26 revenue & EBITDA growth; declares ₹5 dividend
Kaveri Seed reported H1FY26 revenue up 17.09% to ₹1041.91 crore and PAT up 7.90% to ₹301.45 crore. Board recommended ₹5 dividend per share.
The positive H1FY26 financial performance, particularly revenue and EBITDA growth, along with the recommended dividend, indicates a positive outlook. However, the negative standalone PAT in Q2FY26 and challenges in key segments like cotton and hybrid rice sales in Punjab suggest some headwinds, leading to a medium overall impact.
The company reported strong double-digit growth in H1FY26 revenue and EBITDA, and a 7.90% increase in PAT. The management highlighted an encouraging half-year performance, substantial growth in maize, and higher realizations for rice varieties, despite challenges in cotton and Punjab hybrid rice sales.
