Tata Chemicals Q2 swings to ₹50 Cr net lossFirst 2 lines
TATACHEM Tata Chemicals Limited (TATACHEM) reported a consolidated net loss of ₹50 Cr in Q2FY27 against a net profit of ₹154 Cr in the year-ago quarter and a profit of ₹60 Cr in the previous quarter. Revenue rose 7.74% YoY to ₹4,177 Cr but declined 1.83% QoQ. EBITDA fell 29.05% YoY and 31.35% QoQ to ₹381 Cr. EBITDA margin contracted to 9.12% from 13.85% YoY and 13.04% in the prior quarter. The company attributed the weaker performance to lower realisations in overseas subsidiaries, higher energy and logistics costs in the UK, and temporary suspension of operations in Kenya, despite higher volumes in India and the US.Y The key triggers are the swing to a ₹50 Cr consolidated net loss and the sharp contraction in EBITDA margin to 9.12%, even as revenue grew 8% YoY to ₹4,177 Cr. This reflects pressure on profitability from global cost and realisation challenges. Peers such as GHCL, Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals and Deepak Fertilisers may face comparison on soda ash realisations and margin trends. Near-term prices could react negatively to the shift to losses and margin compression. Risks include sustained weak overseas realisations, elevated energy and logistics costs, or further operational disruptions. Competitors listed: GHCL, Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals, Deepak Fertilisers. We have no financial interest in this news.
