MK Proteins' 43% revenue jump can't stop profit from sliding
FY26 sales hit ₹382.87 crore, but net profit fell to ₹6.82 crore. The cost squeeze is accelerating, with Q4 profit down more than half.
— 1 earlier story on MK Proteins Ltd. →What's new
- MK Proteins' annual revenue grew 43% to ₹382.87 crore for FY26.
- Full-year net profit declined to ₹6.82 crore from ₹8.39 crore.
- Q4 profit slumped to ₹1.13 crore from ₹2.79 crore a year earlier.
Why this matters
A 43% sales increase that still produces less profit is a clear sign of deteriorating unit economics. The problem got worse in the final quarter, where profit collapsed by 59%. For a nano-cap, this means growth is consuming capital, not generating it.
What we're watching
- Whether the margin erosion continues into Q1 FY27.
- Management commentary on raw material costs and pricing.
- If the volume growth can outpace cost inflation.
The full read
MK Proteins grew revenue 43% to ₹382.87 crore in FY26. But it couldn't turn that into profit. Net profit fell 19% to ₹6.82 crore. The full-year number hides a worse trend. Q4 profit slumped to ₹1.13 crore from ₹2.79 crore, a 59% drop that signals the margin squeeze is accelerating. For a nano-cap, this is dangerous. The company is pouring resources into growth that isn't paying back. Sales are up, but each sale is worth less. The board re-appointed its auditors for FY27. The operational story is the one that matters.
Questions answered
- How did revenue and profit move in opposite directions?
- Revenue grew 43% to ₹382.87 crore, but net profit fell 19% to ₹6.82 crore. This means the cost of generating each rupee of revenue increased significantly.
- Why is the Q4 result more alarming than the full-year?
- Fourth-quarter profit fell 59% to ₹1.13 crore from ₹2.79 crore, a sharper drop than the full-year's 19% decline. This suggests the cost pressures intensified as the year went on.
- What does this tell us about the business's scalability?
- The filing shows the company is scaling sales but not profitability. Costs are rising faster than revenue, which is a warning sign about the sustainability of its growth model.
