Liquor Stocks Shine
Radico Khaitan, one of India’s largest producers of branded Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), posted its strongest quarter ever in Q1: volume, revenue and profits all surged. IMFL volumes rose an impressive 37.5% year-on-year, driven by strong demand for its premium lineup. The company expects volume growth above 20% in FY26, aided by a stable raw-material environment, favourable product mix and long-term structural tailwinds.
Meanwhile, Allied Blenders & Distilleries is executing a strategic shift toward premiumisation, with its “Prestige & Above” segment’s share rising from 25% in FY18 to 40% presently, and projected to reach 50 % by FY28. As margins expand through premium-segment growth and export deals (including a UK-FTA advantage), experts see EBITDA margins improving from ~12% in FY25 to ~15% in FY28 and return on capital employed climbing to ~26 % from ~18%. Over FY25-28, revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~14%, while profit after tax (PAT) could rise at ~36%.
In short, the combination of robust volume momentum, premiumisation strategy, and margin expansion expectations has put liquor stocks firmly in favour among investors ahead of the festive season.
