5 February: Q2 FY26 Results Reveal Robust Revenue Growth but Margin Pressure
The most significant market reaction came on 5 February following the release of Prime Fresh Ltd’s Q2 FY26 results. The company reported its highest-ever quarterly net sales of ₹74.33 crores, signalling strong top-line momentum. However, the earnings announcement also highlighted margin compression concerns, with operating profit margins under pressure despite revenue growth.
The stock plunged 7.58% to close at Rs.253.15 on heavy volume of 63,560 shares, reflecting investor caution over profitability trends. The Sensex declined 0.53% to 36,695.11 on the same day, but Prime Fresh’s sharper fall underscored the market’s focus on margin sustainability amid rising input costs.
