BPCL share price slips. Q4 profit down 8%

BPCL shares slipped over 1 per cent to Rs 313 today after the company posted a weaker-than-expected set of Q4 numbers. Net profit for the Q4 FY25 quarter fell 8 per cent year-on-year to Rs 4,392 crore, while revenue dropped 4 per cent to Rs 1.26 lakh crore. That's not all. The refining margin—a key profitability metric—nearly halved from last year. Add in losses from subsidised LPG sales, and the earnings miss didn't surprise anyone. Still, the Rs 5 per share final dividend provided some comfort, helping the stock avoid a sharper fall.
