Patanjali Foods shares in focus as Q3 net profit jumps 60% YoY to Rs 594 crore

Shares of FMCG company Patanjali Foods will be in focus heading into trade on Thursday after it reported a strong performance for Q3FY26, with consolidated net profit surging 60% YoY to Rs 594 crore from Rs 371 crore in the year-ago period.

Revenue from operations rose 17% YoY to Rs 10,484 crore, compared with Rs 8,997 crore in Q3FY25, marking the company’s highest-ever revenue for both Q3 and the nine months of FY26. On a sequential basis, net profit grew 15% from Rs 517 crore in Q2FY26, while revenue increased 7% from Rs 9,776 crore.

Segment-wise, the FMCG business, including food, home and personal care products, delivered strong growth with combined sales of Rs 3,248 crore in Q3FY26, up 39% YoY and 12.31% QoQ. The edible oil segment posted revenue of Rs 7,336 crore, reflecting a 9% YoY and 5% QoQ increase. Gross profit margin stood at 13.56%, while EBITDA came in at Rs 492 crore with margins at 4.69%, and PBT margin at 3.46%, excluding exceptional items.


For 9MFY26, revenue from operations reached Rs 29,014 crore, with total EBITDA of Rs 1,430 crore and margins at 4.93%. The FMCG segment contributed 28.30% to revenue (excluding inter-segment revenue) and 62.34% to EBITDA during the period. The company’s oil palm plantation area expanded to 1,08,164 hectares as of December 2025. Export revenues stood at Rs 64.71 crore in Q3FY26 and Rs 156 crore for 9MFY26, with shipments to 36 countries. Advertising and sales promotion expenses accounted for around 2% of quarterly revenue.

Looking ahead, Patanjali Foods expects a strong finish to FY26 supported by favourable macro tailwinds, including GST 2.0 reforms, which could boost consumption through price cuts in larger packs and grammage additions in smaller packs.

The edible oil segment is expected to remain unaffected by GST changes. The company also anticipates improving urban demand driven by easing inflation and tax reforms, while rural demand is likely to stay resilient on the back of a healthy Kharif harvest, lower inflation, and welfare-led income support.
