Sapphire Foods India share price today

Sapphire Foods India Ltd's share price was ₹193.41 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been rising for 6 weeks. That is 9.4% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹154 and ₹270, and at that close it sat 34% 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 Sapphire Foods India Ltd is in stage 2. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the NIFTY 500, and it has been behind for 1 week running.

Over the last 5 years the share price moved −20% while the NIFTY 500 moved +46%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 30 October 2026. 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.

Two changes stood out: foreign funds (FIIs) cut their stake for 5 quarters in a row and revenue up on a year earlier for 12 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare).

1. Foreign funds (FIIs) cut their stake for 5 quarters in a row

   From 31.6% to 24% 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 ₹888 crore, +19.6% on a year earlier.

   Why: Revenue rose because KFC brought in more dine-in and takeaway orders with value deals and extra marketing.

   Next results: check whether KFC sales at existing stores in the festive quarter show people kept coming back for value deals.

   From the earnings call on 22 Oct 2026.

For July to September 2026 (the quarter ended 30 September 2026), Sapphire Foods India reported revenue of ₹888 crore, up 19.6% from ₹742 crore a year earlier, and a loss of ₹1.52 crore.

Earlier

• Results for July to September 2026: Revenue up 19.6% on a year earlier.
• 5 Sep 2024: Share split: face value cut from ₹10 to ₹2 a share (ex-date).

Sapphire Foods India has paid no dividend on the NSE since its first NSE close in our records (18 November 2021), the start of the period we checked.

No. Sapphire Foods India Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in each of its last 9 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.

From the call for July to September 2026, 22 October 2026.

When Sapphire Foods India reports October to December 2026, these are the 3 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: KFC Q3 SSSG to validate the flagged combined outlook through the shifted festive quarter on sustained value transactions.

Sapphire Foods India is on one of our India lists: Breakout stocks.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd posted a net loss of ₹1.5 Cr in the Sep 2026 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹32.0 Cr. That loss is 0.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹12.8 Cr. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

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

For the full year, FY26 profit was −₹32.0 Cr (−288.2% on the year before).

Sapphire Foods India Ltd reported ₹888 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +19.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 8 years it has grown 15.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,125 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,385 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹3,125 Cr, +8.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +13.3% on average, against 15.9% 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 +13.3%, against +11.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising).

Sapphire Foods India Ltd's operating margin was 14.3% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 years it has been between 1.6% and 19.0%. 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 +0.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.5 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 443% of Sapphire Foods India Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹507 Cr of operating cash against −₹32.0 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 ₹626 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹119 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 443% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 51 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 1.7× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −59 days in FY26, up from −110 days in FY21. It spent ₹1,864 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 4 days to pay, and stock sits for 41 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 ₹3,125 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹8.6 Cr, so roughly −₹505 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 4 days to pay and stock sat for 41 days, about 1.3 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −59 days, longer than FY21's −110.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 41 days. Customers pay about 4 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 104 days. Together that makes the −59-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹1,864 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹1,080 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 ₹60.0 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.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd's P/E is 457.8×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 85% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 145.4×, over 4.4 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.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −265.0% while the price moved −28.4%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −9.6% a year; about −60.7% a year came from earnings growth and about +51.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). 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.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −2345.5% in the latest quarter, against +48.4% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE steady at 4.5%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the share price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd earned a ROCE of 4% in FY26. That is up from a low of −5% in FY19. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 7.4 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it, from shareholders and lenders together. It is the best single test of whether growth adds value or just size.

It comes from a −1.0% net margin and 0.96× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −1.0% net margin × 0.96× asset turnover × 2.34× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −2.2% 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: 4.6% − 12.0% = −7.4 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 4.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 3.2%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd has total debt of ₹1,517 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,399 Cr as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 1.08× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.79 in FY22 to 1.02 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

Foreign institutions cut their stake in Sapphire Foods India Ltd by 7.4 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 24.0% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +6.0 points over the same period, to 43.1%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings.

Who owns the company each quarter: promoters (the founders or controlling owners), foreign institutions, domestic institutions such as mutual funds, and the public. When people close to the business steadily raise their stake, that is worth noticing; a quiet list is also an answer.

Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −7.4 points over 8 quarters, to 24.0%; Domestic institutions: +6.0 points over 8 quarters, to 43.1%; Promoters: −0.1 points over 8 quarters, to 26.1%.

Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −7.4 points and domestic institutions +6.0 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.

For Sapphire Foods India 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.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

46.3 out of 100, rank 5 of 8 in Quick Service Restaurant - QSR, with 71% of the evidence available.

Sapphire Foods India Ltd scores 46.3 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in Quick Service Restaurant - QSR, ranking 5. 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: 17 + 10.7 + 10 + 8.6 = 46.3. 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.

Sapphire Foods India ranks 5 of 8 Quick Service Restaurant - QSR companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 46.3 out of 100.

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.
