Jubilant FoodWorks Limited witnessed its shares drop over 2% after posting a sharp decline in its Q4 FY25 earnings. As of 9:43 AM, the shares were trading 2.40% lower at Rs 677.15.
The company reported a net profit of ₹49.3 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, a steep 76% fall from ₹208.3 crore in the corresponding period last year. The drop was attributed to the absence of exceptional gains that boosted profits in Q4 FY24, along with sustained cost pressures.
Despite the profit slide, revenue from operations showed strong growth, rising 33.6% year-on-year to ₹2,103.1 crore from ₹1,573.97 crore. Including other income, total income stood at ₹2,113.9 crore. However, this top-line growth failed to translate into bottom-line gains, with profit before tax declining to ₹69.5 crore from ₹225 crore a year earlier, highlighting margin stress and rising input costs.
For the full financial year FY25, Jubilant FoodWorks posted revenue of ₹8,141.7 crore, marking a 44% increase over FY24. However, net profit for the year declined nearly 46% to ₹217.1 crore from ₹400 crore in the previous year, underscoring ongoing operational challenges.
Jubilant FoodWorks shares opened at ₹704.00, reaching a high of ₹707.85 and a low of ₹677.10 during the trading session. The stock remains volatile within its 52-week range, which spans from a low of ₹463.10 to a high of ₹796.75.
