This chemical stock defies market crash, zooms 20%; here's why

Shares of Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem zoomed 20% to fresh 52 week high on Friday, July 25, in  a weak market . This growth follows the company's announcement of a robust financial performance for the first quarter of FY26, marked by a 27.7% increase in profit after tax, reaching Rs 6.7 crore compared to Rs 5.2 crore in the same period last year. The company's EBITDA also rose by 37.4% to Rs 17 crore from Rs 12.6 crore in Q1 of the previous fiscal. Operating margins expanded from 12% to 14.8% year-on-year. The results underscore the company's strategic initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and drive profitability, which have evidently paid off.

The stock reached a new 52-week high of Rs 1,219.90 during trading on Friday, a notable increase of 20% on BSE.  This performance is part of a larger positive trend, with the stock having gained 27% over the past month and 39.11% since the start of the year.

The recent increase in share price also correlates with the disclosure that investor Mukul Agrawal has acquired a 1.28% stake in the company, a new addition to the company's shareholding pattern following the March quarter. His investment is seen as a vote of confidence in the company's future prospects.

The company reported a revenue of Rs 117 crore for the quarter, an increase of 10.8% from Rs 105 crore in the previous year. Promoters of Tatva Chintan Pharma continue to hold a significant 72% stake in the company.

The stock has reacted positively to these developments, reflecting investor confidence in the company's growth prospects. Experts note that the substantial increase in both revenue and profit, alongside Agrawal's investment, could signal continued positive momentum for the stock in the coming quarters. The company's consistent performance and strategic stakeholder engagements are likely to sustain its upward trajectory.
