As quoted by The Live Mint, As much as 15% in early trade fell on August 11, 2025, the shares of PG Electroplast (PGEL) to ₹500.70 on the BSE. This odd scenario is because the stock still lost 37% in four trade sessions and almost lost 50% from the recorded 52-week high at ₹1,054.95 in January 2025.

The decline was steep as a result of the statement released by the company, where PG Electroplast announced that it had downgraded its projected targets revenue and profit for the fiscal year 2026. Now, PG Electroplast is forecasting revenue growth of 17-19% to ₹5,700-₹5,800 crore from its previous much higher estimate of 30.3% to ₹6,345 crore. Net profits are expected to be ₹300-310 crore, which is 3-7% above previous years but far less than an earlier estimate of ₹405 crore.

For instance, PGEL reported a profitability drop of 21% to ₹67 crore in the first quarter of FY26 as against ₹85 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Revenue grew by 14% to ₹1,504 crore in the same period. The company indicated that early monsoons had affected the seasonal sales of room air conditioners, which has contributed to a slower start.
Adding to these woes was a large block deal of shares that occurred during early trading on August 11. Approximately 79 lakh shares or 2.82% of the company's equity were offloaded for ₹406 crore at an average price of ₹501 per share, which is about 15% below the closing price before the offload.
Weak guidance combined with a drop in profits for Q1 and large shares sold were the cause of panic selling for the counter.
