Shares of Anant Raj jumped 7 percent to Rs 525 per share on April 22, following the company’s impressive financial performance for the January–March quarter (Q4FY25).
The real estate developer reported a robust 51.5 percent year-on-year (YoY) jump in its consolidated net profit, which rose to Rs 118.6 crore in Q4FY25, compared to Rs 78.3 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter also registered a solid increase of 22.2 percent YoY, reaching Rs 540.7 crore, up from Rs 442.6 crore in the same period a year ago.
The company’s operational performance saw significant gains as well. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) climbed 36.5 percent YoY to Rs 142.4 crore, compared to Rs 104.3 crore. The EBITDA margin improved to 26.3 percent, rising from 23.6 percent in the year-ago quarter.
Anant Raj declared a dividend of Rs 0.73 per equity share, representing 36.50 percent of the face value of Rs 2 per share.
Despite the upbeat quarterly results, the company’s stock has faced headwinds in recent months. Over the past six months, Anant Raj shares have declined more than 28 percent, a stark contrast to the relatively modest 1.4 percent drop in the benchmark Nifty 50 index.
Anant Raj has developed over 20 million square feet (MSF) of projects across various segments, including commercial spaces, IT parks, shopping malls, hospitality ventures, residential housing, and affordable housing.
Expanding its footprint into the data center segment, the company is also in the process of converting commercial property with a potential leasable area of 5.66 MSF into a 300-megawatt (MW) data center. It has partnered with multiple government agencies to facilitate this strategic initiative.
