FY26 revenue growth was 12.6% at Astral, 7.2% at Supreme Industries and -1.5% at Finolex Industries. P\/E stands at 63.46 for Astral (industry 35.23), 41.55 for Supreme Industries (industry 35.23) and 15.07 for Finolex Industries (industry 35.23). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Plastic pipe stocks give investors exposure to housing, irrigation and water infrastructure. Results depend on volume growth, PVC resin prices and dealer reach, which is why pricing and inventory gains and losses matter as much as sales.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three PVC pipe stocks: Astral for CPVC and PVC pipes, adhesives and a growing bathware business, Supreme Industries for plastic piping systems, packaging products and industrial moulded items and Finolex Industries for PVC pipes and fittings with its own PVC resin plant. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 5 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
