Sealmatic India Hits 20% Upper Circuit After Posting 190% YoY Profit Growth in H2 FY25
Shares of Sealmatic India Ltd, a microcap seal manufacturing company, soared during Monday’s trading session, hitting the 20% upper circuit following an impressive set of financial results. The company reported a staggering 190% year-on-year increase in net profit for the second half of FY25, sparking strong investor enthusiasm and propelling the stock price to an intraday high of ₹677.75, up from the previous close of ₹564.80. Although it later retreated slightly, it closed firmly higher at ₹649.85 per share.
Strong Earnings Drive Rally
The sharp spike in Sealmatic’s share price reflects robust operational performance and consistent earnings momentum in its core segment—mechanical seals, which are critical components used across industries like oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
The company’s H2 FY25 results revealed a 65.5% increase in revenue, reaching ₹57.89 crore, compared to ₹34.98 crore in H2 FY24. On a sequential basis, revenue surged 29.21% from ₹44.82 crore in H1 FY25.
The net profit jump was even more dramatic, growing by 190% YoY to ₹9.45 crore, up from ₹3.26 crore in H2 FY24, and up 46.51% from ₹6.45 crore in H1 FY25. This demonstrates Sealmatic’s strong control over cost structures and improved operational efficiencies.
For the full fiscal year FY25, the company reported total revenue of ₹102.71 crore, a growth of 40.27% from ₹73.24 crore in FY24. The net profit stood at ₹15.91 crore, a 61.52% increase from ₹9.85 crore in the previous year.
Expansion and Global Reach
Sealmatic’s future outlook appears equally promising. The company is expecting 25% growth in organic order intake in FY26, thanks to improved production capacities and enhanced global presence. The commissioning of a new manufacturing unit in Kaman, integrated with the Mira Road facility, has increased production capacity by 65%.
The company’s global ambitions are evident in its strategic joint venture, SealTech LLC, based in Abu Dhabi, targeting a $60 million market with clients like ADNOC. Expansion plans are also underway in Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar, while a feasibility study is being conducted to establish a service center in Houston, Texas, tapping into the massive North American energy and industrial market.
To support its growth plans, Sealmatic has earmarked ₹4 crore for capital expenditure in FY26 for modernization, and ₹2 crore for R&D, particularly focusing on next-generation mechanical seal technology.
