Patanjali Foods reported Q1FY26 standalone revenue from operations of ₹8,899.70 crore, up 24% year-on-year from ₹7,177.17 crore, driven by edible oils and the newly integrated Home & Personal Care (HPC) segment. However, profit after tax fell sharply to ₹180.39 crore (2.02% margin) from ₹262.90 crore in Q1FY25, with EBITDA margin compressing to 3.75% (₹334.17 crore). The Board approved re-appointment of Swami Ramdev as Non-Executive Director, inducted former IAS officer Durga Shanker Mishra as Independent Director, and LIC (holding 9.14% stake) nominee Baghrai Majhi. M/s. P. Diwan & Associates was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for five years (FY26–FY30). A final dividend of ₹2 per share (100% on face value of ₹2) for FY25 was declared with record date September 3, 2025, and the 39th AGM is set for September 27, 2025. A 2:1 bonus share issue was also recommended, subject to shareholder approval.
Strong top-line growth signals robust demand, but the sharp year-on-year PAT decline despite revenue growth points to margin pressure from duty cuts, subdued urban demand, and competitive intensity — near-term sentiment may be mixed. The pending arbitration award challenging 1.86 crore equity shares being directed to Ashav Advisory LLP is a key overhang, while the proposed 2:1 bonus issue and dividend are shareholder-friendly.
