1. At a Glance
Ultramarine & Pigments is what happens when a 1960s pigment factory gets a BPO side hustle. Q1 FY26 profit? ₹20 Cr. Revenue? ₹184 Cr. P/E? 22. Dividends? Regular like clockwork. Promoter holding? Slipping. It’s not flashy — but it cleans up… literally.
2. Introduction with Hook
If chemical stocks were types of soap, Ultramarine would be Lifebuoy — reliable, antibacterial, but not sexy.
Started off coloring the world (pigments), then decided to add bubbles (surfactants), and finally threw in IT services for good measure. The result? A diversified midcap that smells of detergent and cash flows.
In Q1 FY26, it scrubbed up ₹184 Cr in revenue (+13% YoY) and ₹20 Cr in PAT (+18% YoY), showing the company may be boring — but not lazy.
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
They sell:
Pigments – Makes things blue. And sometimes green.
Surfactants – For soaps, detergents, and shampoo.
IT & BPO – Because why not?
Segment Revenue Breakdown (FY23):
Surfactants: 59%
Pigments: 32%
IT Services: 9%
Basically, it’s the uncle who runs a paint shop by day and does data entry for an MNC at night.
