Dalmia Bharat shares fell as much as 7.3% to Rs 1,507.70 on Tuesday, 27 Oct 2026, a fresh 52-week low, after the cement maker reported a September-quarter loss of Rs 205 crore against a profit of Rs 239 crore a year earlier. At 11:59 AM the stock was at Rs 1,533.60, down 5.67% from Rs 1,625.80, on volume of about 3.74 lakh shares against 54,656 on Monday (data provider).<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dalmia Bharat shares hit a 52-week low because revenue grew only 4.3% to Rs 3,563 crore while EBITDA fell 29.2% to Rs 493 crore, as power, fuel and raw material costs rose. The loss came after an exceptional charge of Rs 339 crore, mainly the impairment of three captive power plants and a discontinued brand. EBITDA per tonne was Rs 698 against Rs 1,013 a year earlier, and management says it can recover toward Rs 1,000 in Q3 if prices hold.

Dalmia Bharat shares are now about 32% below their 52-week high of Rs 2,260 (my calculation), and the Dalmia Bharat share price has fallen about 7% over the last two weeks. The key question for Dalmia Bharat shares is how much of the loss is a one-time accounting charge and how much is a real squeeze on cement margins. This article reads the quarter, the cost data, the balance sheet, valuation and the technical levels.<\/p>\n

I could not retrieve the names or revised targets of the brokerages that cut estimates, although the headline says they lowered price targets, so I do not quote any. Where sources differ, I flag it. It is educational and not advice.<\/p>\n
