Britannia Industries shares rose sharply after the packaged-food maker reported stronger-than-expected June-quarter results, with revenue crossing Rs 5,000 crore and profit growth supporting the rally. The stock climbed about 4% in early trading on Thursday after the company disclosed its results following a board meeting on Wednesday evening.
The move pushed the shares back towards the Rs 5,600 level, after they opened higher than the previous close and touched an intraday peak of Rs 5,660. Even with the latest bounce, the counter remains in negative territory for 2026, down 6.46% so far this year.
According to the company’s quarterly figures, revenue rose about 8% from a year earlier to roughly Rs 5,000 crore, while net profit increased 14% to around Rs 593 crore. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, or EBITDA, came in at Rs 840 crore, up 10.97% year on year, though slightly lower than the previous quarter. The EBITDA margin stood at 16.80%, compared with 16.38% a year earlier and 18.07% in the March quarter.
Earnings per share rose to Rs 24.55 from Rs 21.62 a year earlier, an increase of 13.55%, but fell from Rs 28.16 in the previous quarter. Britannia, founded in 1892 in Kolkata, is among India’s oldest and largest packaged-food companies, with a portfolio spanning biscuits, bakery products, dairy and adjacent snacking categories. Its products are sold in India and more than 80 countries.
