G.M. Breweries Q4 Profit Jumps 107% YoY; Board Recommends ₹9 Dividend

Synopsis: G. M. Breweries Limited (GMBL) has shared its financial results for the 43rd fiscal year, showing a notable rise in gross sales and net profit. Although the company can produce various types of alcoholic beverages, it remains focused on its leading country liquor segment to handle competitive pressures.

In its 43rd Annual Report for the period ending March 31, 2026, GMBL presented a year of strong operations. The company reported gross sales of Rs. 2,976.57 Crore, a significant increase from Rs. 2,503.69 Crore in the previous financial year. This growth reflected positively on the net profit, which reached Rs. 156.83 Crore, up from Rs. 129.04 Crore in FY 2024-25.

GMBL is committed to its main strength. While the company has the capacity to blend and bottle both Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and country liquor, it focused on the country liquor segment this year. Management explained this decision was due to the competitive conditions in the IMFL market.

After a strong operational year ending March 31, 2026, the Board of Directors has suggested a final dividend of 90%, which amounts to Rs. 9 per share. The company’s balance sheet shows solid strength, with total assets rising to Rs. 1,225.42 Crore Lakhs from Rs. 1,097.56 Crore the previous year. 

This growth is backed by a strong investment portfolio totaling Rs. 570.39 Crore in non-current investments and Rs. 214.47 Crore in investment property. Additionally, the company remains a key contributor to the state government, with excise duty, VAT, and taxes collected totaling Rs. 2,228.72 Crore for the year.

G.M. Breweries Limited delivered a stellar performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, characterized by high operational efficiency and explosive profitability. While Sales remained flat on a QoQ basis at Rs. 202 Crore, they grew by a strong 19.5% YoY. The standout metric was the Net Profit, which surged by 28.5% QoQ and more than doubled (107%) compared to the same quarter last year. This growth was fueled by a dramatic expansion in the Operating Profit Margin (OPM), which climbed from 17% in 2025 to 26% in 2026, signaling a year of high-margin leadership in the beverage sector.

As of April 27, 2026, GMBL (GMBREW) is navigating a short-term corrective phase within a robust long-term growth trajectory. The stock settled at Rs. 973.45, reflecting a 1.30% intraday gain. While the scrip has faced downward pressure year-to-date, its long-term performance remains stellar, delivering over 200% returns over the last five years. Current trading activity shows strong conviction, with a delivery percentage exceeding 53%, suggesting investors are focused on the company’s fundamental value and its attractive P/E ratio of ~14.1.
