🧠 At a Glance
Gopal Snacks Ltd, famous for its spicy snacks and IPO buzz, is now facing margin meltdown. While the company is profitable and ROCE is healthy, net profit just collapsed 81% YoY in Mar 2025. Stock trades at a spicy 81x PE with OPM of just 7%. At ₹4,395 Cr market cap, investors are left wondering: Is this Bikaji’s cousin or a deep-fried value trap?
✈️ 1. Introduction with Hook
From namkeen pouches to stock market launches — Gopal Snacks had the perfect FMCG fairy tale. But after listing in March 2024… the crunch faded. Profits evaporated. FIIs ghosted. And the only thing salty now? Retail shareholders.
The company still sells bhujia, gathiya, chips, and more across 12 states. But in the stock market? It’s selling disappointment.
