Ester Industries Limited (NSE: ESTER) shares ticked up slightly. First, they hit \u20b997.00 early on Feb. 9, 2026. This gave a 0.55% intraday gain. Yet, the stock has plunged over the past year. Next, it hovers near the 52-week low of \u20b990.10. Plus, it lags far behind the high of \u20b9172.20. So, pressure lingers despite small rebounds. No analyst changes surfaced that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ester Industries posted weak Q3 FY26 earnings. Profitability crumbled under BOPET film margin pressure. Total income dropped to \u20b9254.0 crore. It fell 8.4% year-on-year. EBITDA sank to \u20b914.3 crore. This plunged 67.6% YoY. EBITDA margin hit 5.7%. Previously, it was 15.9%. Net profit flipped to a \u20b94.9 crore loss. Last year, it earned \u20b918.6 crore profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consolidated total income dipped to \u20b9343.5 crore. It declined 2.1% YoY. EBITDA fell sharply to \u20b921.0 crore. This marked a 67.7% drop. EBITDA margin shrank to 6.1%. It was 18.5% before. Net profit turned to a \u20b912.4 crore loss. Prior year showed \u20b924.8 crore profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nine-month revenue stayed resilient overall. However, earnings buckled under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standalone 9M FY26:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Total income reached \u20b9802.3 crore. It eased 2.6% YoY. EBITDA dropped to \u20b960.3 crore. This was down 38.2%. Margin slipped to 7.5%. It stood at 11.8% last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consolidated 9M FY26:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Total income climbed to \u20b91,047.6 crore. It rose 7.2% YoY. Yet, EBITDA fell to \u20b967.3 crore. This declined 46.1%. Margin narrowed to 6.4%. Previously, it was 12.8%. Specialty polymers and rPET fueled the gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specialty polymer volumes soared 46.4% YoY in Q3. So, revenue jumped 72.9% to \u20b951.2 crore. EBIT rose 62% to \u20b916 crore. Meanwhile, rPET volumes exploded 286.7%. Revenue quadrupled to \u20b915.2 crore. Chips revenue grew 2.5x to \u20b930.2 crore. Additionally, polyester film utilization reached 71%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Severe BOPET pressure hit hard. U.S. tariffs stung. Chinese exporters priced aggressively. Currency woes added mark-to-market losses. However, India-U.S. trade deals loom. Anti-dumping probes continue. Therefore, margins could rebound soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand looks set to strengthen. Free-trade agreements help first. Sustainability rules boost rPET next. Plastic Waste Management Rules drive recyclable films. All in all, Ester Industries eyes growth in specialty polymers and rPET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
