Avanti Feeds
Q3 FY26 · Other
Avanti Feeds reported Q3 FY26 consolidated gross income of ₹1,447 crore, up 3% YoY but down 13% sequentially, reflecting seasonal feed volume decline. PBT grew 21% YoY to ₹222 crore, aided by lower raw material costs in feed and improved realizations in processing. Feed division PBT margin was 16% for 9M FY26, but management expects full-year PBT margin to moderate to 14.5-15% due to rising fish meal and soybean meal prices. Processing division saw 39% YoY revenue growth, driven by higher volumes and better realizations. The US tariff situation has improved with the removal of IEEPA-based duties, though a 10% import surcharge remains. Pet care sales reached ₹1.36 crore in Q3, with a manufacturing facility under development. Guidance for FY27 is preliminary, with expectations of 10%+ feed volume growth. Key risk: sustained raw material inflation could compress margins in Q4.
- Guidance read
- FY26 feed sales target of ~5,55,000 MT: Management expects full-year feed sales volume to reach around 5,55,000 MT, implying strong Q4 volumes. FY26 PBT margin guidance of 14.5-15%: Full-year PBT margin expected to be 14.5-15% for the feed division, down from 16% in 9M due to raw material cost pressures. FY26 processing export target of ~16,500 MT: Shrimp processing exports are estimated at 16,500 MT for FY26, up from 14,149 MT in FY25. Feed volume growth of at least 10% in FY27: Management expects minimum 10% growth in feed sales volume in FY27, driven by positive farmer sentiment and expanded culture area.
- Risk read
- Key risks include Rising raw material prices — Fish meal and soybean meal prices have increased sharply, with fish meal at ₹145/kg currently, which could compress feed margins in Q4.; US tariff uncertainty — Although IEEPA tariffs were removed, a new 10% import surcharge under Section 122 has been imposed, with potential increase to 15%, creating ongoing uncertainty for exports.; Pet care project execution delay — The pet food manufacturing facility is still in design and approval stage; management could not provide a clear timeline for commissioning, indicating potential delays.; Competition from e-commerce private labels — Amazon has launched its own pet food brand, which could pose a threat to Avanti's online sales channel, though management downplayed the risk..
