Why is AWL Agri Business share price falling on 28 October 2026?
AWL Agri Business Ltd. shares dropped 5.98% on Tuesday, closing at ₹165.80 after touching a day's low of ₹159.66 and a high of ₹170.55.
The broader market showed relative resilience as the Nifty slipped 0.22% and the Nifty FMCG sector benchmark declined 0.56%. AWL's deeper decline reflects persistent downward pressure, extending its 5-day return to -7.71% and 20-day return to -8.23% as the stock traded near its 52-week low of ₹159.65.
The downward price action follows the release of the company's financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, reported on October 27, 2026. While consolidated revenue grew 26% year-on-year to ₹22,202 crore and Food & FMCG revenue surged 32% to ₹2,216 crore, profit after tax dipped slightly to ₹239 crore due to minimum corporate tax computations on its Bangladesh subsidiary under local regulations.
1.16 crore shares traded by 28 October 2026 · 03:25 PM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 23.72 lakh shares (4.90 times). The five-day average daily volume was 11.79 lakh shares. Separately, the NSE report for 27 October 2026 showed 7.54 lakh shares delivered, representing 49.37% of that day’s traded volume. The same report recorded 26,696 trades.
The stock's sharp decline of 5.98% to a new 52-week low coincides with the release of Q2 FY27 results, where a marginal dip in net profit due to subsidiary tax factors weighed on sentiment despite strong top-line growth.
