Heritage Foods shares fell over 8% in early trade on Tuesday after the company reported weak Q4 FY26 earnings, with operating profitability and net profit declining sharply despite revenue growth.
As of 9:24 AM IST, the stock was trading near the day’s low as investors reacted to pressure on margins and lower earnings for the January to March quarter. Heritage Foods opened at Rs 351 against its previous close of Rs 378.30 and slipped to an intraday low of Rs 345.15. The stock also touched a high of Rs 357.85 during the session.
The live traded volume stood at 3,15,556 shares. On a 52-week basis, Heritage Foods has touched a high of Rs 540 and a low of Rs 292.55.
The decline in the stock came after Heritage Foods reported consolidated revenue of Rs 1,158 crore for Q4 FY26, up 10.4% year-on-year from Rs 1,048 crore in the same quarter last year. However, the company’s operating performance weakened during the quarter.
EBITDA declined 34.6% year-on-year to Rs 52.2 crore from Rs 79.9 crore. EBITDA margin contracted 310 basis points to 4.5% compared with 7.6% in the year-ago period.
Net profit also fell 36.7% year-on-year to Rs 24.2 crore, compared with Rs 38.2 crore in Q4 FY25.
Overall, Heritage Foods shares moved lower as the company’s Q4 performance showed steady revenue growth but a sharp fall in EBITDA, margin contraction and lower net profit.
