  "account": "Uflex shares jumped 16% to Rs 568.35 on the BSE after the company reported a staggering 629.6% year-on-year surge in its Q1 net profit for FY27. Revenue from operations increased 37.6% year-on-year to Rs 5,366 crore in the quarter ending June 30, 2026, compared to Rs 3,900.6 crore in the same period last year. EBITDA jumped 92.1% year-on-year to Rs 919.8 crore, with the margin reaching 17%, the highest level in 21 quarters. Domestic packaging film sales volume rose 9.1% sequentially in India as customers resumed purchases following price hikes in Q4 FY26. The war crisis and captive production of PET chips helped Uflex capture benefits from strong local and regional demand, particularly in Egypt, while Nigeria experienced additional traction in export markets. Management attributed the strong performance to a diversified portfolio, integrated capabilities, and a global presence across key markets. The company looks forward to benefiting from growth levers, including recently commissioned recycling facilities and a Mexico-based facility, to support continued robust growth in FY27.",
