With a market capitalization of Rs. 5,234.19 crore, the shares of Mrs Bectors Food Specialities Limited were currently trading at Rs. 170.50 per equity share, down nearly 0.99 percent from its previous day’s close price of Rs. 172.20.

What is the News?

Anand Rathi, a prominent brokerage firm, has recommended a “Buy” call on Mrs Bectors Food Specialities Limited with a target price of Rs. 250 per share, indicating an upside potential of 46.63 percent from its current price of Rs. 170.50 

Anand Rathi remains positive on Mrs Bectors Food Specialities Ltd despite a slightly weaker-than-expected Q4FY26 performance. The company reported revenue growth of 9 percent year-on-year to Rs. 486 crore in Q4FY26, driven by strong demand in its bakery business, which also recorded 14 percent growth in FY26. Although the biscuits segment faced challenges from GST-related pricing disruptions, competition, and export market uncertainties, the management expects performance to improve in FY27 with normalization in domestic competition and better market diversification.

Profitability remained stable, with EBITDA margin improving by 30 basis points to 12.7 percent despite higher input costs, wage inflation, and packaging expenses. The company is targeting a 14 percent EBITDA margin in FY27 through price hikes, premium product offerings, and cost-saving initiatives under Project Impact.

Looking ahead, Mrs Bectors plans to add around 40,000 direct outlets in FY27, taking its network to nearly 3.5 lakh outlets. Continued product innovation, expansion into new markets, and strong growth in the English Oven bakery brand are expected to support a revenue CAGR of 13 percent over FY26–FY28, strengthening the company’s long-term growth outlook.
