Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar Posts Strong Q3 FY26 as PAT Zooms 94% 

Mumbai, April 16: Export-oriented company Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar posted consolidated financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Results were approved by the company board in a meeting held on Thursday. Profit after tax for the third quarter (Q3 FY26) increased by close to 94% year-over-year to ₹34.69 crore from ₹17.88 crore in Q3 FY25 thanks to strong improvement in operating leverage.

The company’s profit growth comfortably exceeded top-line growth during the quarter. Gross profit grew significantly, helped by better realizations and input cost containment.

Revenue from Operations grew 15% YoY to ₹571.21 crore from ₹496.57 crore in Q3 FY25 owing to good domestic and export demand for basmati rice. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) for Q3 FY26 stood at ₹73.74 crore as compared to ₹45.34 crore in Q3 FY25, an increase of close to 63%. Improvements in realizations and stable input costs enabled better margins for the company. EBITDA margin widened significantly by almost 378 basis points to 12.91% in Q3 FY26 versus 9.13% in Q3 FY25.

Earnings Per Share Improves

Basic Earnings Per Share improved 87% to ₹4.19 in Q3 FY26 versus ₹2.24 reported in Q3 FY25. Profit before tax more than doubled year-over-year from ₹23.44 crore to ₹47.74 crore.

For the nine months of FY2025-26 (9M FY26 period), revenue increased 12% to ₹1,592.46 crore compared to ₹1,421.31 crore reported in the corresponding period last year. Net profit rose robustly by 71% to ₹83.34 crore from ₹48.78 crore, while EBITDA expanded by 45% to ₹182.55 crore increasing the EBITDA margin to 11.47% from 8.83% in 9M FY25. Basic earnings per share grew 69% to ₹10.12 in 9M FY26 from ₹5.99 during the same period last year. For context, in FY25 revenue was ₹2,001.65 crore with a net profit of ₹60.82 crore and EPS of ₹7.46. So, the company has already crossed FY25’s net profit in just nine months of FY26 by 37%.

The company had earlier completed its IPO where it offered over 2.07 crore equity shares at an issue price of ₹212 per share. It listed on NSE and BSE on April 2, 2026. However, since listing, shares of the company have declined sharply, currently trading around the ₹120–127 range — significantly lower than the issue price. This means the stock is down more than 40% from its IPO price in just a matter of weeks. The company ranks third among its peers on a revenue basis and has a promoter holding of around 78.8%. Its market cap is around ₹1,322 crore. The company’s return on equity has been modest at 11.6% during the last three years.
