KRBL share price today

KRBL Ltd's share price was ₹407.40 at the close on 5 November 2026. It has been rising for 19 weeks. That is 8.9% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹287 and ₹438, and at that close it sat 80% of the way up from that low.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today KRBL Ltd is in stage 2. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the NIFTY 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row.

Over the last 11 years the share price moved +92% while the NIFTY 500 moved +251%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Three changes stood out: best operating margin in 15 quarters, profit up on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row and highest quarterly profit in 15 quarters.

1. Best operating margin in 15 quarters

   Operating margin was 21% in the June 2026 quarter, against 12% a year earlier.

   Why: Margins rose because the company raised prices, sold fewer private label exports that carry low margins, and earned more from investments, currency and interest.

   Next results: check whether the full year margin lands near management's 17 to 18 percent plan, since it called the first quarter peak unsustainable.

   From the earnings call on 17 Aug 2026.

2. Profit up on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row

   In the June 2026 quarter profit was ₹261 crore, +72.8% on a year earlier.

   Why: Profit rose because the company kept more from each sale after price increases and a better export mix, and it earned more from investments, currency and interest.

   Next results: check whether export orders recover from the West Asia disruption, since management expects export volumes to recover from the second quarter.

   From the earnings call on 17 Aug 2026.

3. Highest quarterly profit in 15 quarters

   Profit of ₹261 crore in the June 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 15 quarters.

   Why: The record profit came from higher prices, fewer private label exports that carry low margins, and more income from investments, currency and interest.

   Next results: check whether profit stays near the record or eases toward the lower full year margin management described.

   From the earnings call on 17 Aug 2026.

Our read of the business

KRBL runs the India Gate brand covering 3.3 lakh retail outlets. The recovery depends on West Asia export normalization and delivery of the guided 17-18% operating margin for FY27, both of which management has given conflicting signals on across four consecutive calls.

Latest quarter: Highest quarterly profit on mix shift and elevated other income; export revenue halved year-on-year.

Our read after the latest results, written 22 August 2026.

KRBL paid ₹4.50 a share in regular dividends in the 12 months to 5 November 2026 (1 payment), a yield of 1.10% at the ₹407.40 close on 5 November 2026. The last was a dividend of ₹4.50 a share, ex-date 18 September 2026.

KRBL dividends since 1 April 2021

Amounts as the company declared them on the NSE. A dividend goes to whoever owns the shares before the ex-date. The record date is the same day as the ex-date for every payment here.

Yes. KRBL Ltd paid out 16% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in each of its last 13 reported years.

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

On the call for April to June 2026, held on 17 August 2026, KRBL's management guided: Export volumes expected to recover progressively from Q2, with meaningful full-year export growth maintained.

“For the balance of FY27, our position is this: the export shortfall of the first quarter is a timing issue, not a structural one.”Anil Kumar Mittal, on the call for April to June 2026

What management guided

• Domestic volumes approximately 10% on a year earlier in FY27, extended as a commitment for the upcoming 2-3 years.
• Current-year gross margin around 30% and operating margin 17-18% (gross-margin figure unclear in transcript)
• Organized-trade fill rates planned at least 95%, with servicing within 72 hours.
• Branded regional rice to maintain 25% growth through FY27; Gangavati facility expected operational by end Q3.

From the call for April to June 2026, 17 August 2026. The July to September 2026 results are out since, so this part may be out of date until we update it.

If Q2 and October to December 2026 export revenues remain below ₹350 crore per quarter (vs ₹244 crore in Q1 and ₹485 crore year-ago), confirming that the West Asia distribution network is structurally damaged rather than temporarily disrupted, AND full-year FY27 operating margin comes in below 15%, the earnings recovery thesis breaks.

Each change stops working if

• : West Asia shipping routes do not normalize by October to December 2026, OR the Saudi distributor appointment (still pending after 1.5 years) stalls further, meaning the distribution network has structurally degraded rather than temporarily disrupted.
• : Gangavati misses the October to December 2026 start-up date and does not contribute to FY28 non-basmati revenue, indicating execution delays in converting the capital spending to throughput.
• : Traditional trade market share loss (2 percentage points year-on-year as of April to June 2026) accelerates to more than 3-4 percentage points, or quick commerce platforms shift to private-label basmati at scale, undermining the branded margin premium.
• : India reintroduces export restrictions on non-basmati or imposes a floor price that removes the competitive advantage, or Pakistan supply normalizes sharply and eliminates the pricing gap.

Our read after the latest results, written 22 August 2026.

When KRBL reports October to December 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: West Asia route normalization and export replenishment - check whether shipping recovery converts into sustained orders next quarter.

KRBL is not on any of our India lists this week.

KRBL Ltd earned ₹259 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +50.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹648 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 8.3% a year on average. That is 15.0% 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 ₹172 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹648 Cr (+36.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +14.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +4.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +38.0% and revenue +0.6%. 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 ₹1,526 Cr and profit ₹155 Cr as reported.

FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,496 Cr and profit ₹261 Cr as reported.

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

KRBL Ltd reported ₹1,727 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +14.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 6.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹6,098 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹6,226 Cr.

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

FY26 revenue was ₹6,098 Cr, +9.0% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +0.6% on average, against 6.1% 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 +0.1%, against +9.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +38.5%, against +38.9% a year (stabilising).

FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,526 Cr and profit ₹155 Cr as reported.

FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,496 Cr and profit ₹261 Cr as reported.

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

KRBL Ltd's operating margin was 19.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 4.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 12.0% and 24.0%. 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 the margin moved: operating margin changed +4.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +5.1 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,526 Cr and profit ₹155 Cr as reported.

FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,496 Cr and profit ₹261 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, 123% of KRBL Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹933 Cr of operating cash against ₹648 Cr of profit. After ₹495 Cr of spending on assets, ₹438 Cr was left over as free cash.

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.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why 123% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 38 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 2.7× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

KRBL Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 344 days in FY26, down from 382 days in FY21. It spent ₹683 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 28 days to pay, and stock sits for 329 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.

At FY26 sales of ₹6,098 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹16.7 Cr, so roughly ₹5,747 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 28 days to pay and stock sat for 329 days, about 10.8 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 344 days, shorter than FY21's 382.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 329 days. Customers pay about 28 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 12 days. Together that makes the 344-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹683 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹251 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 ₹14.0 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.

KRBL Ltd's P/E is 11.0×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 22% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.5×, 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.

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.
