Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar (Exports), the company behind the popular 'Aeroplane Rice' brand, started FY27 with explosive profit growth. For the quarter ended June 2026, profit more than doubled compared to the same period last year, showcasing a powerful improvement in profitability.
The company's revenue grew a robust 55.1% year-on-year to ₹663.73 crore. However, the real story is the bottom line: profit surged 127.7% to ₹36.63 crore. This means profit grew more than twice as fast as sales, indicating strong operating leverage. The net profit margin expanded by 170 basis points year-on-year to 5.5%, its highest level in the last five quarters.
A sequential look reveals a mixed picture. While revenue dipped 4.5% from the March 2026 quarter, profit jumped 83.5%. This sharp profit increase on slightly lower sales points to a significant quarter-on-quarter margin improvement, from 2.9% in Q4 to 5.5% in Q1.

The trailing twelve-month (TTM) performance remains solid, with a net profit margin of 4.6% on revenue of ₹2,357.57 crore. The company also maintains a strong return on equity of 17.6%, though its balance sheet carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.07. The key question is whether the company can sustain this new, higher level of profitability in the quarters ahead.
