1. At a Glance
Q1 FY26 gave Wendt India a rough polish: while revenue rose 6–7%, PAT dropped by a stunning 34–51%. Add to that a CEO exit, promoter declassification, and a stock down 30% in a year, and you have all the ingredients for a boardroom soap opera.

- Q1 Sales: ₹52.17 Cr (flat-ish YoY)
- Stock crash: ₹18,000 → ₹10,625 (down 41%)
