Cupid Ltd has reported a sharp jump in quarterly earnings, with net profit rising 133 per cent year on year in the second quarter of financial year 2027. The personal care and healthcare company posted net profit of Rs 56.22 crore for the July to September quarter, against Rs 24.12 crore in the same period last year.

Revenue from operations more than doubled to Rs 187.86 crore, up 122.5 per cent from Rs 84.43 crore a year earlier. Total income for the quarter reached Rs 208.97 crore, while profit before tax rose to Rs 72.89 crore from Rs 32.19 crore. Operating profit came in at Rs 54.77 crore, up 92.85 per cent year on year.

Guidance raised for the full year

Management raised its guidance for the full financial year alongside the results, lifting its revenue target to more than Rs 880 crore and its net profit target to more than Rs 275 crore, up from earlier expectations of more than Rs 800 crore of revenue and more than Rs 250 crore of profit.

For the first half of FY27, Cupid reported net profit of Rs 100.37 crore, up 156 per cent from the first half of last year, with total income rising 136 per cent to Rs 365.95 crore. Domestic operations contributed Rs 224.64 crore, or 67 per cent of sales, in the half year.

Shares climb after the numbers

Shares in Cupid Ltd were trading about 1 per cent higher at Rs 346.50 ahead of the results announcement and closed the session at Rs 354 on the National Stock Exchange on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, up 3.25 per cent on the day.

Analysts noted that part of the profit jump reflected a Rs 20.03 crore mark-to-market gain on investments, and that revenue of Rs 187.86 crore came in below management's own marker of crossing Rs 200 crore for the quarter. Even so, the raised full-year guidance signals that management expects a strong second half to deliver on its higher targets.
