So far in 2026, Avanti Feeds has gained about 86% and Apex Frozen Foods has jumped around 75%, even as the broader market declined.

Q3 FY26 Earnings Supported the Rally

Both companies reported solid results for the December 2025 quarter.

Avanti Feeds

• Net profit rose 16% year-on-year to ₹163 crore.
• Shrimp processing revenue jumped 37% due to better selling prices and favourable currency movement.
• EBITDA margin improved from 8% to 13% thanks to lower freight costs and higher price realisations.

Apex Frozen Foods

• Reported profit of ₹10 crore vs loss last year.
• Revenue increased 14.5% due to lower raw material costs and better demand.

These healthy earnings increased investor confidence.

Relief From US Tariffs Boosts Sentiment

The removal of earlier US duties on shrimp exports brought major relief to exporters.

• A 10% import surcharge still remains, but overall tariff pressure has reduced.
• Export outlook is improving as companies explore new global markets.

This has improved expectations for future earnings.
