DCW Q3 FY26: Revenue Grows 9.6% to ₹5,198 Mn; PAT Drops 63% on Basic Chemical Margin Pressure

🔵 WATCH ⭐ 7/10

EARNINGS 📅 10 Feb 2026, 08:41 PM

DCW Limited reported a mixed performance for Q3 FY26, with revenue increasing 9.6% YoY to ₹5,198 Mn, driven by strong volume growth in the Specialty Chemicals segment. However, PAT declined significantly by 63.4% YoY to ₹49 Mn as the Basic Chemicals segment faced severe price erosion and high input costs, resulting in negative EBITDA for that division. The company's strategic shift toward Specialty Chemicals (C-PVC and SIOP) is providing a cushion, with CPVC volumes growing 80% YoY following recent capacity expansions. Management expects the final phase of CPVC expansion to 50,000 TPA to be completed by March 2026.

Revenue from operations rose 9.6% YoY to ₹5,198 Mn, while 9M-FY26 PAT grew 59.3% to ₹301 Mn.
Specialty Chemicals segment EBITDA stood at ₹491 Mn, offsetting losses in the Basic Chemicals segment.
CPVC volumes grew by 80% and SIOP volumes by 19% YoY, despite a 26% price correction in CPVC realizations.
Basic Chemicals segment EBITDA margin turned negative at -1.2% due to a 17% drop in PVC prices and stagnant input costs.
Healthy balance sheet maintained with a Net Debt to Equity ratio of 0.20x and Net Debt to EBITDA of 1.09x.

💡 Investors should focus on the company's transition toward a specialty-led model, as the basic chemicals division remains volatile due to commodity price cycles. Monitor the commissioning of the additional 10KT CPVC capacity in March 2026, which is expected to further improve the margin profile.
