Ambuja Cements Ltd, a subsidiary of the Adani Group, reported robust financial performance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q1 FY26). The company's net profit rose by 23.8% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹969.66 crore, marking its highest-ever net profit. This growth was driven by higher volumes, improved operational efficiency, and a focus on premium products [1].

The company's revenue from operations surged by 23.45% YoY to ₹10,244.11 crore, while its EBITDA margin expanded to 19.1%, up from 14.6% in the same period last year. The total income for the quarter was ₹10,545.16 crore, with total expenses amounting to ₹9,256.69 crore. On a standalone basis, Ambuja Cements reported a profit after tax of ₹855.49 crore [1].

Ambuja Cements' cement capacity currently stands at 104.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), with plans to reach 118 MTPA by March 2026. The company also commissioned 57 MW of wind power during the quarter, increasing its total renewable energy capacity to 473 MW [1].

Despite the strong financial performance, Ambuja Cements' shares slipped 4.52% to settle at ₹590.35 on the BSE, after the earnings were declared. This decrease may be attributed to market sentiments and broader economic factors, such as the ongoing trade tensions and the threat of tariffs [2].

In contrast, Garanti Bankasi, a major Turkish bank, reported a net profit of 25.28 billion lira (approximately ₹27.8 billion) for the first quarter of 2025, up by 25.28% YoY. The bank has been actively managing its non-performing loans (NPL) portfolio, selling it in separate portfolios for a total consideration of 603.0 million lira [2].
