Pfizer

Shares of Pfizer Ltd on August 14 rose 5.5% after the company reported 27% jump in net profit at Rs 192 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. It reported net profit of Rs 151 crore in the year-ago period.

The firm's revenue rose 7% to Rs 604 crore in Q1FY26.

The pharma firm's EBITDA rose 18% to Rs 210 crore in the June quarter while its EBITDA margin rose to 34.8% from 31.5% in Q1FY25.

Black Box

Shares of Black Box hit 5% lower circuit on August 14 after the data center-focused company posted 22% sequential decline in net profit at Rs 47 crore. On an annual basis, the net profit rose 28%.

The company's revenue declined 3% YoY to Rs 1,387 crore.

"The delay in equipment procurement by certain clients, because of the prevailing tariff environment, resulted in deference of the service execution and revenue recognition. EBITDA for the quarter was ₹116 crore, representing a 1% year-on-year growth. EBITDA margins improved by 30 basis points to 8.4% in Q1 FY26 year-on-year, despite lower fixed cost absorption on account of decrease in revenues," said the company in a stock exchange filing.

Deepak Kumar Bansal, Executive Director and Global CFO, said: “While Q1 is typically softer than Q4, this quarter’s performance also reflected some client-driven delays in equipment procurement due to the prevailing tariff environment, which impacted the timing of revenue recognition and operating margins. Despite this, we achieved year-on-year growth in both EBITDA and PAT, demonstrating our operational efficiency and margin resilience. With a robust order book, healthy cash reserves, and a strengthened go-to-market strategy, we remain confident to deliver on our growth ambitions for the remainder of the fiscal year.”
