Management Guidance
Management remains focused on utilizing its leading crushing (136,000 TCD) and ethanol (800 KLPD) capacities, though recent director appointments suggest increased lender oversight.
Sentiment Shift
Improving
The company has transitioned from consistent losses to a technical profit in FY2026, supported by massive margin expansion in the final quarter.
Outlook
The outlook is tempered by high promoter pledging and legacy debts; while operational performance in Q4 was strong, sustainable profitability depends on maintaining ethanol mix and sugar cycle favorability.
