what happened
According to TradingView, shares of Sapphire Foods India climbed off their intraday lows after the company reported second-quarter results on Thursday, October 22. The operator of KFC and Pizza Hut narrowed its September-quarter net loss to ₹1.5 crore from ₹12.8 crore a year earlier.
Revenue grew 20% to ₹888 crore from ₹742 crore. EBITDA rose 24% to ₹126 crore, and the EBITDA margin widened to 14.2% from 13.8%. In its investor presentation, the company said this was its strongest quarter for revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth in 16 quarters. Same-store sales rose 14% at KFC and 5% at Pizza Hut India.
The chain added 15 KFC restaurants and one Pizza Hut outlet in Sri Lanka, bringing its total to 1,086 as of September 30, 2026. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹196.8 before giving back part of the gain and trading 0.7% higher at ₹194.4.
why it matters
The results show margins improving faster than losses are shrinking, a point relevant to investors in India's consumer sector. Still, the shares are down 18.5% over the past month and 26.4% so far in 2026, so the market's reaction to the quarter has been muted.
