Dodla Dairy shares surged to an all-time high, skyrocketing 14% on Monday after the firm achieved its quarterly revenue guidance for the first time.
What Happened? The dairy maker recently reported a 14.8% rise in revenue from operations, which reached ₹823 crore in the June quarter compared to the same period last year. This growth in operating revenue was attributed to a surge in value-added products and fat product sales during the quarter, supported by an extended summer season, a diverse product portfolio, and strong brand recall, according to an exchange filing.

Operating profit margin, or earnings before income tax depreciation and amortization margins, also saw an improvement of 104 basis points, reaching 7.3%. The company’s margins were bolstered by declining milk prices, raw material costs, and other expenses during the quarter.
During the first quarter, the company’s milk sales increased by 6.1% compared with the same period a year ago, while its curd sales grew by 3.1%.
