The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +36.1% while the share price moved +7.6%. ## What is the KRBL share price today? KRBL Ltd's share price was ₹401.45 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 19 weeks. That is 7.5% 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 76% of the way up from that low. 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 +90% 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. ## What changed at KRBL this quarter? 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. ## What are KRBL's latest quarterly results? For April to June 2026 (the quarter ended 30 June 2026), KRBL reported revenue of ₹1,496 crore, down 5.6% from ₹1,584 crore a year earlier, and a profit of ₹261 crore, up 72.8% from ₹151 crore. ### KRBL results: April to June 2026 against a year earlier

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.)

## What dividend does KRBL pay? KRBL paid ₹4.50 a share in regular dividends in the 12 months to 4 November 2026 (1 payment), a yield of 1.12% at the ₹401.45 close on 3 November 2026. The last was a dividend of ₹4.50 a share, ex-date 18 September 2026. ### KRBL dividends since 1 April 2021

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 4 November 2026.)

## What did KRBL management say on the latest results call? 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. 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/3414/Conference Call/CC-Aug26.pdf). (From the call for April to June 2026, 17 August 2026.)

## What could change the KRBL story? What are the risks? 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.)

## What to watch in KRBL's next results? When KRBL reports July to September 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. - What to check (from the call)
- West Asia route normalization and export replenishment - check whether shipping recovery converts into sustained orders next quarter. - Domestic bulk-pack volumes - check whether deferred purchases return and support the annual volume commitment. - New paddy crop size and quality - assess October-November arrivals, procurement intensity and margin pass-through. - Margin normalization - test whether export scale offsets paddy-season pressure within the full-year framework. ## Which stock lists is KRBL on? KRBL is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is KRBL profitable? KRBL Ltd earned ₹261 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +72.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th 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 17.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹151 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹648 Cr (+36.1% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −5.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved +9.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +42.0% and revenue +1.8%. 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. ## How much revenue does KRBL make, and is it growing? KRBL Ltd reported ₹1,496 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −5.6% 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 ₹6,010 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹6,098 Cr, +9.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +1.8% 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 +0.5%, against +7.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +40.1%, against +24.6% a year (accelerating). 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. ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does KRBL keep? KRBL Ltd's operating margin was 21.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 9.0 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. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +8.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +9.4 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. ## Is KRBL's profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does KRBL's cash go? 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. 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. ## What is KRBL's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? KRBL Ltd's P/E is 12.1×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 36% of past readings. 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +36.1% while the price moved +7.6%. 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 +7.1% a year; about +6.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +0.8 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change); over 10 years the price moved +5.3% a year; about +9.7% a year came from earnings growth and about −4.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). 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 about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## What growth does the KRBL share price assume? Worked out from its price on 25 August 2026, KRBL Ltd's share price assumed profit growth of about 4.2% a year. Over the past 10 years its profit actually grew 8.3% a year. Today its P/E is 12.1×, lower than 64% of its own last 11 years. This is a one-day reading, taken on 25 August 2026. Every other number on this page, the multiple included, uses the latest price as of 3 November 2026. A higher price assumes more growth and a lower price less, so it changes whenever the price changes, and this page does not update it between measurements. ## Is the KRBL business getting better or worse? KRBL Ltd's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 7 quarters ago at −33.2% and has recovered to +40.1%, with ROCE rising at 18.1%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## What is the KRBL story, and has it been checked? KRBL Ltd's story is not scored yet against the checks our research set on 22 August 2026. Where it sits in its own cycle: Not stated in the research file. Our read, 22 August 2026. From the numbers. From the price. Price stage 2, week 19, below its 200-day line, relative strength falling. From the research. Where they disagree. Price is 38% below its 10-year peak at stage 2 of the Weinstein framework with only 9 weeks in stage. The operating cycle is in mid-expansion: OPM troughed at 9.64% in Sep 2024 and has risen to 20.56% in Jun 2026, with mid-cycle normalization pointing to 18.8%. TTM EPS of Rs 33.13 is 58% above its own trough. What is proven. What is not proven yet. If Q2 and Q3 FY27 export revenues remain below Rs 350 crore per quarter (vs Rs 244 crore in Q1 and Rs 485 crore year-ago), confirming that the West Asia distribution network is structurally damaged rather than temporarily disrupted, AND full-year FY27 EBITDA margin comes in below 15%, the earnings recovery thesis breaks. What would change our mind. If Q2 and Q3 FY27 export revenues remain below Rs 350 crore per quarter (vs Rs 244 crore in Q1 and Rs 485 crore year-ago), confirming that the West Asia distribution network is structurally damaged rather than temporarily disrupted, AND full-year FY27 EBITDA margin comes in below 15%, the earnings recovery thesis breaks. What the company does. 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% EBITDA margin for FY27, both of which management has given conflicting signals on across four consecutive calls. What the surface reading misses. The research reads it further: The earnings denominator is cyclically depressed: OPM troughed at 9.64% in Sep 2024 and is now recovering to 20.56% in Q1 FY27, but mid-cycle normalized OPM is 18.8%, and the Q1 FY27 figure is itself above mid-cycle partly due to export-mix distortion and elevated other income. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: PAT up 73% year-on-year signals a dramatic earnings acceleration. The research reads it further: Revenue fell 6% year-on-year in the same quarter. The PAT surge came from three compounding sources: (1) OPM rose from 12.16% to 20.56% because export volumes halved, removing lower-margin bulk-export revenue from the mix, and domestic realizations rose 11% year-on-year; (3) the denominator base (Q1 FY26) was the weakest quarter in the last two years (Rs 151 crore PAT). Management explicitly called Q1 margins unsustainable and guided FY27 full-year at 17-18% EBITDA.

The story check is re-scored every results season; the record below never changes. ## Did KRBL management deliver what it promised? What KRBL Ltd's management promised, against what actually happened: 4 promises on the record. Read straight from the company’s own earnings calls. A promise that slipped stays on this page after it is met. Geopolitical Resolution Timeline Missed · 17 August 2026. In May 2026, management said it expected the Middle East tension to be resolved within days rather than persist for months. In Aug 2026, management was still describing partial reopening conditions and transshipment delays, without explaining why the earlier near-term resolution expectation failed. Basmati Crop Severity Recast · 17 August 2026. The Feb 2026 and May 2026 calls characterized the 2025 crop as adequate overall, with localized weather effects and mixed quality. In Aug 2026, management described the same completed crop as difficult, citing the destruction of approximately 60,000 hectares of Basmati and a 20-25% decline in Punjab Basmati output; although management said it now had complete visibility, it did not reconcile this materially more severe assessment with its earlier characterization. Domestic Market Share Narrative Changed · 17 August 2026. In May 2026, management stated that it had defended and extended market leadership across all channels. In Aug 2026, management acknowledged a roughly 2 percentage point year-on-year decline in traditional trade market share and said modern trade performance needed improvement, creating a materially less favorable competitive narrative without a reconciliation of the change. Strategic Pivot From Margin to Volume-Led Growth · 18 May 2026. However, by the May 2026 call, the company reported a massive 16% surge in domestic volume while EBITDA margins fell to 15.5%, down from the 16.9% reported in the previous quarter, indicating a reversal of their stated discipline. Every quote above is taken word for word from the company’s own earnings calls. ## What is KRBL management's track record? Balance-sheet actions were sensible, but spoken guidance failed repeatedly through the export disruption and a prior receivable write-off was disclosed late. ### Regulatory and governance record

(Checked 30 August 2026.)

## How much does KRBL earn on its capital? KRBL Ltd earned a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a low of 12% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 10.6% net margin and 0.92× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 10.6% net margin × 0.92× asset turnover × 1.14× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 11.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 18.6% − 12.0% = +6.6 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. A gap this wide means each rupee put back into the business creates more than a rupee of value. The 18.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 11.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does KRBL have too much debt? KRBL Ltd has total debt of ₹170 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹5,807 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.03× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.04 in FY22 to 0.03 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the KRBL shareholding pattern? Foreign institutions raised their stake in KRBL Ltd by 2.6 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 7.0% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +0.4 points over the same period, to 0.7%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: +2.6 points over 8 quarters, to 7.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.4 points over 8 quarters, to 0.7%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 60.2%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions drove it (+2.6 points). They raised their stake step by step. ## How far is KRBL from balance-sheet trouble? For KRBL 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 KRBL rank in its industry? 69.0 out of 100, rank 1 of 4 in FMCG - Rice, with 78% of the evidence available. KRBL Ltd scores 69.0 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in FMCG - Rice, ranking 1. 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: 26.7 + 16.2 + 16.9 + 9.2 = 69. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here.

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. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

The operating margin was 21.0%, 9.0 percentage points higher than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is KRBL's market cap? KRBL Ltd's market capitalisation is ₹9,190 Cr at a share price of ₹401.45. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is KRBL performing? KRBL Ltd's share price has been rising for 19 weeks. In its latest quarter, revenue fell 5.6% and profit rose 72.8% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the NIFTY 500, for 1 week running (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will KRBL's share price go up? This page does not forecast KRBL Ltd's share price. What it shows instead: the share price is ₹401.45, and it has been rising for 19 weeks. Its P/E of 12.1× is higher than 36% of its own last 11 years (as of 3 November 2026). ### Who owns KRBL? Promoters own 60.2% of KRBL Ltd, foreign institutions 7.0%, domestic institutions 0.7% and the public 25.9% (latest quarter). The biggest change over the last two years: Foreign institutions raised their stake by 2.6 percentage points over 8 quarters (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is KRBL in its business cycle? KRBL Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 15.0%, against a 13-year range of 12.0% to 24.0%: the low end of its own range, which is often where recoveries start. The latest quarter was 21.0%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the KRBL story? The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +36.1% while the share price moved +7.6%. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is KRBL a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: KRBL Ltd's earnings have grown faster than its share price. Earnings per share grew +36.1% in a year while the price moved +7.6%. The main open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already grown. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is there a KRBL share price forecast for 2026? What management itself guided: Export volumes expected to recover progressively from Q2, with meaningful full-year export growth maintained. What would change the story: 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. ### Where does this page get KRBL's management information? From KRBL's results calls, its filings and public records on governance, each dated on the page. Management’s plans are shown as plans, never as results. This is research, not advice.
