Penny stock NHC Foods retraced its early market gains soon after hitting the intraday high level during the stock market session on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, as the company’s consolidated net profits dropped over 10% in the October to December quarter results, according to an exchange filing.
In the BSE filing, NHC Foods disclosed that its standalone net profits fell 10.52% to ₹1.87 crore in the third quarter of the financial year ending 2025-26, compared to ₹2.09 crore in the same period a year ago.
Although the company’s standalone revenue from core operations jumped over 59% in the October to December quarter to ₹116.98 crore, compared to ₹73.36 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year, the rise in total expenses resulted in a drop in overall net profits for the period.
NHC Foods’ total expenses for the third quarter jumped 62% to ₹115.25 crore, compared to ₹71.12 crore in the same period a year ago. The rise in purchases of stock was likely the primary reason for the increase in expenses for the quarter.
However, on a consolidated level, NHC Foods’ net profit jumped 27% YoY to ₹2.64 crore in the third quarter, compared to ₹2.08 crore in the same period a year ago.
