The full read
Zeal Aqua's profit grew faster than its revenue in FY26. Net profit rose 40.3% to ₹14.11 cr, while revenue climbed 30.5% to ₹667.51 cr. That profit expansion is notable for a company with a market capitalization of just ₹173 cr. It means the shrimp-processing business is generating earnings at a scale disproportionate to its listed valuation. The statutory audit was clean. The board made a routine governance change, appointing GRR & Co. as internal auditor for the next fiscal year. A strong year. The next test is whether the company can sustain this profit trajectory as it grows from a larger base.
