The stock has nearly doubled or gained 99% from its 52-week low of ₹735.35 touched on June 11, 2026. At 10:57 AM, the stock quoted 6% higher at ₹1,442, significantly outperforming the BSE Sensex which was down 3.3% in the same period. A combined 570,000 shares changed hands on NSE and BSE, reflecting strong investor interest.
The latest surge is driven by record Q1FY27 results that showcased robust business momentum. As reported by Business Standard, GMM Pfaudler closed the quarter with a record order backlog of ₹2,289 crore, representing an approximately 20% year-on-year increase. The company secured healthy order intake of over ₹1,007 crore during the quarter, with nearly 30% of the order intake comprising multi-year projects compared to the previous year. The current order book is largely made up of projects with execution cycles of 10 to 12 months, with a substantial portion expected to be executed within FY27, providing strong revenue visibility.
The company's strategic diversification continues to yield strong results, with non-traditional sectors including oil and gas, defence, mining, and nuclear accounting for 43% of total orders in Q1FY27 versus 33% in fiscal 2025. According to Crisil Ratings, measures for revenue diversification over the years have led to reduction in dependence on traditional chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. The CRT (Corrosion Resistance Technologies) division maintains its leadership position as the global process equipment provider with the industry's largest installed base, while the PST (Process System Technologies) division benefits from opportunities across semiconductor manufacturing, defence, and pharmaceutical sectors. Demand from core pharmaceutical and chemical industries remains stable during the quarter.
