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.

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 4 November 2026.) ## What did Sapphire Foods India management say on the latest results call? On the call for July to September 2026, held on 22 October 2026, Sapphire Foods India's management guided: KFC net store additions 60-80 this year, reiterated with no change. > “Recovering growth is more difficult, and therefore, our foot is on the accelerator pedal to drive growth first and foremost.” > Sanjay Purohit, on the call for July to September 2026 ### What management guided - Q2 plus Q3 combined KFC SSSG at high single digits after festive timing shift. - FY27 marketing uplift 50-100bp for KFC and 100-150bp for Pizza Hut versus FY26. - Cost inflation to peak in Q3 while pricing stays cautious to protect growth. - Pizza Hut calendar 2026 openings largely neutral pending CCI approval for joint strategy.

Sapphire Foods India is on one of our India lists: Breakout stocks. [Breakout stocks Breakout date: 9 October 2026](https://www.sectoralpha.in/breakout-stocks-india) ## Is Sapphire Foods India profitable? 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. For the full year, FY26 profit was −₹32.0 Cr (−288.2% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Sapphire Foods India make, and is it growing? 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. 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). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Sapphire Foods India keep? 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. 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. ## Is Sapphire Foods India's profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does Sapphire Foods India's cash go? 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. 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. ## What is Sapphire Foods India's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Sapphire Foods India Ltd's P/E is 462.4×, 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −265.0% while the price moved −31.7%. 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 −9.3% a year; about −60.7% a year came from earnings growth and about +51.4 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. ## Is the Sapphire Foods India business getting better or worse? 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. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Sapphire Foods India earn on its capital? 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. 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. ## Does Sapphire Foods India have too much debt? 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. ## What is the Sapphire Foods India shareholding pattern? 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. 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. ## How far is Sapphire Foods India from balance-sheet trouble? 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. ## How does Sapphire Foods India rank in its industry? 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. ## Which companies is Sapphire Foods India compared with? Sapphire Foods India ranks 5 of 8 Quick Service Restaurant - QSR companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 46.3 out of 100. 1.

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.
