Synopsis
Axita Cotton FY26 results, share price, exports, profitability, dividend and bonus shares remain in focus as investors track the company's latest financial performance.
Axita Cotton reported a 74% rise in net profit to ₹1.90 crore for FY26, even as revenue from operations fell 43% to ₹370.40 crore from ₹652.70 crore in the previous financial year.
The Ahmedabad based cotton manufacturer and exporter reported higher profit before tax and improved return on capital employed during the year. The company also saw stronger exports and a sharp increase in inventory turnover.
| Metric | FY26 | FY25 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | ₹370.40 crore | ₹652.70 crore | 43% lower |

| Net profit | ₹1.90 crore | ₹1.09 crore | 74% higher |
| ROCE | 5.55% | 3.23% | Improved |
