DCW Ltd, a small-cap petrochemical company, reported a significant financial turnaround for the July-September 2025 quarter (Q2 FY26), posting a net profit of ₹13.80 crore compared to a net loss of ₹1.24 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. This improvement was accompanied by a more than 10% increase in revenue from core operations to ₹539.21 crore, driven primarily by a 15.6% rise in segmental revenue from its basic chemicals business, which reached ₹394.55 crore. Following these positive results, DCW's share price surged by 13.58% during intraday trading on November 4, 2025, to hit a high of ₹71.49, with shares trading 9.87% higher in the afternoon session compared to the previous close of ₹62.94. While the stock has delivered over 394% returns in five years, it has faced a decline of more than 34% over the last year and fell 24.74% year-to-date in 2025. The shares traded within a 52-week range of ₹62.12 to ₹113, with a market capitalization of approximately ₹1,995 crore as of the announcement date. Despite the profit surge, reports note underlying margin pressures and competitive challenges in the petrochemical sector, but the company’s operational recovery has been strongly reflected in its quarterly performance and market response.
