GSM Foils delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹81.7 crore (+79.1% YoY) and PAT of ₹6.3 crore (+80.6% YoY), driven by robust demand in pharmaceutical packaging and ramp-up of the Ahmedabad plant. EBITDA margin contracted 120 bps to 11.5% due to raw material cost pressures from rising aluminium and chemical prices amid geopolitical disruptions. Management guided for FY27 revenue of ₹400-450 crore as Ahmedabad plant reaches optimal utilization, targeting monthly run-rate of ₹60 crore. Key risk: working capital strain from extended customer credit cycles, which management acknowledged but expects to normalize. Overall, strong volume growth and capacity expansion support bullish outlook, but margin compression and commodity volatility warrant caution.
