Foreign funds (FIIs) cut their stake for 8 quarters in a row From 8.3% to 1.7% of the company by the September 2026 quarter. 2. Revenue up on a year earlier for 12 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare) In the September 2026 quarter revenue was ₹1,320 crore, +18.6% on a year earlier. Why: Revenue rose because the company sold much more of its higher-priced products such as curd, lassi, buttermilk, ice cream and paneer.

A dividend goes to whoever owns the shares before the ex-date. 5 of 5 Of the last 5 financial years, years with an NSE dividend record Yes. Heritage Foods Ltd paid out 15% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in 12 of its last 13 reported years. One of those years shows a negative figure because profit itself was negative. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.) ## What did Heritage Foods management say on the latest results call?

We do not have an option.” > Srideep Kesavan, on the call for July to September 2026 ### What management guided - Own ice-cream approaching ₹170-180 crore this year versus prior base. - Q3 procurement on a year earlier pressure to persist near Q2 trend before flush improvement. - Flush-led procurement cooling hoped post-Diwali in rain-fed regions. - September hike spill plus higher October consumer prices to support Q3 realisation. Management’s own plans and goals, from our notes of the call. A plan is not a result. Source: [the call transcript](https://files.tijorifinance.com/insight/india/2150/Conference Call/CC-Oct26.pdf).

When Heritage Foods reports October to December 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Procurement cost through flush post-Diwali versus flagged Q2 level - check for cooling, stabilization or further rise. - What to check (from the call) - Procurement cost through flush post-Diwali versus flagged Q2 level - check for cooling, stabilization or further rise. - Consumer price catch-up from September spill and October levels - check Q3 realisation versus flagged weighted increase. - Ghee festive volume surge and curd scale beyond flagged milestones - check Q3 seasonal lift and premium share. - Nutrivet margin carry from late-quarter hikes into H2 - check profit before tax strengthening versus Q2 print. ## Which stock lists is Heritage Foods on? Heritage Foods is on one of our India lists: Breakout stocks. [Breakout stocks Breakout date: 16 October 2026](https://www.sectoralpha.in/breakout-stocks-india) ## Is Heritage Foods profitable? Heritage Foods Ltd earned ₹31.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −39.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹150 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 10.6% a year on average. That is 2.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹51.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹150 Cr (−20.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +18.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −33.4% and revenue +13.8%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Heritage Foods make, and is it growing? Heritage Foods Ltd reported ₹1,320 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +18.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 6.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,526 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,935 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹4,526 Cr, +9.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +13.8% on average, against 6.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +13.9%, against +11.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −33.5%, against −18.7% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Heritage Foods keep? Heritage Foods Ltd's operating margin was 6.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between −14.0% and 11.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −2.7 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Heritage Foods' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 189% of Heritage Foods Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹237 Cr of operating cash against ₹150 Cr of profit. After ₹479 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹242 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 189% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 17 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner. What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 3.7× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Heritage Foods' cash go? Heritage Foods Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 18 days in FY26, down from 35 days in FY21. It spent ₹784 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 6 days to pay, and stock sits for 35 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹4,526 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹12.4 Cr, so roughly ₹223 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 6 days to pay and stock sat for 35 days, about 1.2 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 18 days, shorter than FY21's 35. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 35 days. Customers pay about 6 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 23 days. Together that makes the 18-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹784 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹212 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹50.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Heritage Foods' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Heritage Foods Ltd's P/E is 30.2×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 70% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 24.4×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −20.3% while the price moved −23.2%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +6.5% a year; about −1.1% a year came from earnings growth and about +7.6 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more); over 10 years the price moved +6.1% a year; about +5.9% a year came from earnings growth and about +0.2 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Heritage Foods business getting better or worse? Heritage Foods Ltd's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −33.5% in the latest quarter, against +145.1% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 12.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Heritage Foods earn on its capital? Heritage Foods Ltd earned a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a low of −14% in FY20. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 3.3% net margin and 2.32× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 3.3% net margin × 2.32× asset turnover × 1.77× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 13.6% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 9.5% − 12.0% = −2.5 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 9.5% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 13.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Heritage Foods have too much debt? Heritage Foods Ltd has total debt of ₹384 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,141 Cr as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.34× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.03 in FY22 to 0.33 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Heritage Foods shareholding pattern? Foreign institutions cut their stake in Heritage Foods Ltd by 6.6 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 1.7% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +2.4 points over the same period, to 6.3%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −6.6 points over 8 quarters, to 1.7%; Domestic institutions: +2.4 points over 8 quarters, to 6.3%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 41.3%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −6.6 points and domestic institutions +2.4 points over 8 quarters, while promoters stayed about the same. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company. ## How far is Heritage Foods from balance-sheet trouble? For Heritage Foods Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Heritage Foods rank in its industry? 35.0 out of 100, rank 7 of 8 in FMCG - Dairy Products, with 100% of the evidence available. Heritage Foods Ltd scores 35.0 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in FMCG - Dairy Products, ranking 7. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 8.3 + 9.8 + 9.1 + 7.8 = 35. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Heritage Foods compared with? Heritage Foods ranks 7 of 8 FMCG - Dairy Products companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 35.0 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end.
