Three changes stood out: revenue up on a year earlier for 11 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare), profit up on a year earlier for 7 quarters in a row and highest quarterly profit in 15 quarters.

1. Revenue up on a year earlier for 11 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare)

   In the June 2026 quarter revenue was ₹1,201 crore, +17.9% on a year earlier.

   Why: Sales rose because home and personal care ran at full capacity and food and beverages had peak production.

   Next results: check whether the new beverage units start by December-January for the season.

   From the earnings call on 5 Aug 2026.

2. Profit up on a year earlier for 7 quarters in a row

   In the June 2026 quarter profit was ₹43 crore, +34.4% on a year earlier.

   Why: Profit rose faster than sales because for some work the company only charges for converting customer materials, so sales look smaller while profit does not.

   Next results: check whether profit stays in the Rs 200-220 crore range for FY27.

   From the earnings call on 5 Aug 2026.

3. Highest quarterly profit in 15 quarters

   Profit of ₹43 crore in the June 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 15 quarters.

   Why: Profit reached a record because home and personal care ran at full capacity and food and beverages had peak production.

   Next results: check whether the footwear division returns to profit in the second half.

   From the earnings call on 5 Aug 2026.

Hindustan Foods share price: then and now

Weekly closing prices, adjusted for splits and bonuses so every price is on today’s share count. Each change is the move from that price to the 4 Nov 2026 close. A day's intraday high or low can go beyond these weekly closes.

563 weekly closes from 11 March 2016 to 4 November 2026.

4 Nov 2026: Hindustan Foods closed at ₹567.65, up 6.2% on the week and down 1.3% on the month. Our read, 22 Aug 2026: Hindustan Foods commissioned ₹700+ crore of new capacity in FY26, and the first quarter of FY27 showed it is paying off: record quarterly profit of ₹43 crore, up 34% year on year, with the full-year guidance of ₹200-220 crore intact. The footwear segment absorbed a one-time ₹6 crore hit from polymer and freight costs, but management expects it to turn profitable in the second half as pass-through agreements take effect. Home and personal care ran at maximum capacity, ice cream delivered a strong summer, and beverage commissioning is due December-January, the multi-division platform is diversifying the risk of any single segment dragging.

Our read after the April to June 2026 results, written 22 August 2026.

Hindustan Foods has paid no dividend on the NSE since 1 April 2021, the start of the period we checked.

No. Hindustan Foods Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in each of its last 8 reported years, so there is no payout history to show. That comes from the filed annual statements, not an estimate.

From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.

On the call for April to June 2026, held on 5 August 2026, Hindustan Foods' management guided: FY27 profit ₹200-220 crore, implying 34-48% growth over FY26.

“But I think the shoe business should finally start paying off in the second half of this financial year.”Sameer Kothari, Managing Director, on the call for April to June 2026

What management guided

• FY27 project commitments of ₹340 crore plus carry-forward projects, nearly ₹500 crore total; capacities exceeding ₹500 crore to be commercialized.
• Customer inquiry pipeline around ₹1,000 crore, not confirmed orders and subject to conversion.
• Silvassa facility fully operational by end-August after partial restoration.
• Beverage units to come online by December-January for season start; anchor-tenant projects expected to support utilization.

From the call for April to June 2026, 5 August 2026.

The changes showing up in Hindustan Foods' own numbers are costs spread over more sales. It is too early to say whether they last.

We check 16 kinds of change in every company, such as costs spread over more sales, higher-value products, new orders, new regions or falling debt, against its reported numbers and what management said on its calls. Only changes the numbers back are shown.

Checked against results and calls up to April to June 2026, 10 October 2026.

If H1 FY27 profit comes in below ₹80 crore, well short of the roughly ₹90 crore needed for the ₹200 crore full-year run rate, that would show the capacity ramp is not converting to profit at the expected speed, and the FY27 guidance range would need to be reset to FY28. A second signal would be operating margin falling below 8.5% for two consecutive quarters, indicating that the polymer cost drag has spread beyond footwear to the broader business.

Each change stops working if

• Panipat ice cream capacity ramp and backward integration: Panipat utilization stays below 40% through the July to September 2026 summer peak, signaling that customer adoption of the new capacity has not matched the supply build.
• Operating leverage from commissioned capacity across all five divisions: Operating margin falls below 8.5% for two consecutive quarters, reversing the 200 basis point improvement from the FY22 base and signaling pricing pressure or cost inflation has outrun the operating leverage benefit.
• GST duty inversion resolution normalizing working capital: Working capital days remain above 55 by December 2027 with no concall explanation of GST resolution, indicating the inversion was not the primary driver of the inventory build.
• New contract pipeline and beverage commissioning: No major contract announcements by July to September 2026 and the beverage commissioning slips past January, removing both the pipeline conversion and the seasonal beverage contribution from the FY27 narrative.

The main risks

• Footwear polymer cost surge limiting H1 FY27 profit: Polymer and freight costs absorbed ₹6 crore in April to June 2026; H2 recovery depends on customer pass-through taking effect. ⚠ estimate
• Management narrative consistency, repeated timeline and guidance slippage: Four documented inconsistencies across five concalls; optimistic guidance that slips right. ⚠ estimate
• Shared manufacturing ROCE dilution from underutilized commissioning assets: Reported ROCE at 14% versus 18% historically; recovery depends on FY27-FY28 ramp delivering at plan. ⚠ estimate

Our read after the April to June 2026 results, written 22 August 2026.

When Hindustan Foods reports July to September 2026, these are the 5 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Sep 2026 quarter operating profit above ₹86 crore by at least 20% (above about ₹103 crore) with operating margin above 8.25%, while footwear costs are still being passed on.

Hindustan Foods is on 2 of our India lists: Multibagger study list and Undervalued stocks.

Hindustan Foods Ltd earned ₹43.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +34.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹149 Cr. Over 7 years profit has grown 43.3% a year on average. That is 3.6% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹32.0 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹149 Cr (+29.6% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +17.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +38.1% and revenue +17.7%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,117 Cr and profit ₹42 Cr as reported.

FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,201 Cr and profit ₹43 Cr as reported.

Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters.

Hindustan Foods Ltd reported ₹1,201 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +17.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 7 years it has grown 36.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,251 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,401 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹4,251 Cr, +16.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +17.7% on average, against 36.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +17.6%, against +21.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +37.1%, against +28.0% a year (accelerating).

FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,117 Cr and profit ₹42 Cr as reported.

FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,201 Cr and profit ₹43 Cr as reported.

Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters.

Hindustan Foods Ltd's operating margin was 8.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, about the same as the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 8 years it has been between 6.0% and 9.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why this happened. FY26 EBITDA grew 20% on 17% revenue, operating leverage is confirmed and recurring. With Rs 1,800 crore of gross block commissioned versus Rs 1,220 crore a year earlier, fixed-cost absorption improves each quarter as utilization increases. OPM expanded to around 9% in the latest two quarters before Q1 FY27, compared to roughly 7% in FY22. Home and personal care ran at maximum capacity in Q1 FY27, confirming utilization is not the constraint in all divisions.

In the latest quarter it moved +0.0 percentage points on the same quarter a year ago.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.7 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,117 Cr and profit ₹42 Cr as reported.

FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,201 Cr and profit ₹43 Cr as reported.

Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters.

Over the last 3 years, 85% of Hindustan Foods Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹100 Cr of operating cash against ₹149 Cr of profit.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

After ₹381 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹281 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 85% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 70 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 4.4× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Hindustan Foods Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 68 days in FY26, up from −2 days in FY21. It spent ₹998 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 22 days to pay, and stock sits for 131 days on average.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Why this happened. Panipat was commissioned in April 2026 with 20,000-ton annual capacity, adding roughly 50% volume versus the FY26 ice cream base of 35,000-40,000 tons. Q1 FY27 delivered strong summer ice cream output with Panipat contributing alongside Nashik. The first full summer season contribution for Panipat comes in Q2 FY27 (July-September), which is when utilization is expected to be highest. Backward integration via cone and stick manufacturing lowers input costs and enables new customer relationships beyond the contract manufacturing base.

At FY26 sales of ₹4,251 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹11.6 Cr, so roughly ₹792 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 22 days to pay and stock sat for 131 days, about 4.3 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 68 days, longer than FY21's −2.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 131 days. Customers pay about 22 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 86 days. Together that makes the 68-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹998 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹225 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 ₹150 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.

Hindustan Foods Ltd's P/E is 42.5×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 5% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 72.9×, over 7 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹13.20.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.
