Allied Blenders reported Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,040 crore (+2.8% YoY), EBITDA of ₹137 crore (+14.1% YoY) with margin expansion to 13.6%, and PAT of ₹64 crore (+10.9% YoY). Volume grew 1.3% to 9 million cases, with realization per case up 7% driven by premiumization. The PNA portfolio (48.5% of mix) grew 16.9% YoY, led by Iconic White, which is on track to reach 10 million cases in FY26. Backward integration and capex (₹700 crore announced) are expected to add 300 bps to gross margins by Q4 FY28. Management guided for double-digit revenue growth in Q4 FY26, supported by Telangana normalization and new brand launches. Key risks include continued regulatory disruption in Maharashtra and competitive pressure in the mass-premium segment.
एलाइड ब्लेंडर्स ने वित्त वर्ष 2025-26 की तीसरी तिमाही में ₹1,040 करोड़ की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 2.8% अधिक है। कंपनी का मुनाफा ₹64 करोड़ रहा, जो 10.9% बढ़ा। उन्होंने 9 लाख पेटी शराब बेची, जो 1.3% ज्यादा है। हर पेटी की कीमत 7% बढ़ी क्योंकि लोग महंगी ब्रांड पसंद कर रहे हैं। उनकी प्रीमियम शराब (PNA) की बिक्री 16.9% बढ़ी, खासकर आइकॉनिक व्हाइट की, जो इस साल 10 लाख पेटी बेचने की राह पर है। कंपनी ₹700 करोड़ का नया निवेश करेगी, जिससे 2028 तक मुनाफा 3% और बढ़ेगा। अगली तिमाही में कमाई दो अंकों में बढ़ने का अनुमान है। लेकिन महाराष्ट्र में नियमों की समस्या और सस्ती-महंगी शराब के बीच कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा जोखिम है।
