Gopal Snacks reported FY2026 net profit of ₹736.53 million, up nearly 4x from ₹189.98 million in FY2025. Revenue from operations grew marginally to ₹15,004 million from ₹14,586 million. The sharp profit growth was driven by a ₹393.24 million exceptional gain from insurance recoveries related to a December 2024 fire incident at its Rajkot plant — the company received ₹374.64 million in total insurance claims during FY2026. Without the exceptional item, profit before tax would have been ~₹601 million vs ~₹742 million prior year, implying underlying profit decline. The company declared a 3rd interim dividend of ₹0.40 per share (40%) for FY2025-26, payable by June 10, 2026. Record date for dividend is May 16, 2026. Statutory auditors Maheshwari & Co. issued an unmodified opinion. M/s Haribhakti & Co. LLP was appointed as the new Internal Auditor for FY2026-27.
The 4x PAT surge looks impressive on the surface but is inflated by a one-time fire insurance recovery. Stripping out the exceptional item, underlying profitability actually declined versus the prior year, making the dividend declaration a positive but the quality of earnings weak.
