Krishival Foods Q1 FY27 Results (NSE: KRISHIVAL)
Signal: Margin expansion
The read
The key inflection is a subsidiary-led mix shift: consolidated revenue rose 79.6% YoY to ₹8896.06 lakh and EBITDA margin expanded to 13% from 10.92%, but standalone revenue grew only 9.8%, nuts segment profit fell 25.8%, finance costs rose 161%, and owner PAT grew just 9.1%; the sustainability of the ice-cream ramp and the large gross-margin swing remain the central thesis questions.
