Heritage Foods Limited, a leading dairy company in India, is focusing on value-added products (VAPs) such as cheese and paneer to drive revenue and earnings growth. The company, which procures and processes milk and dairy products, is strengthening its market presence through strategic expansion, improved distribution, and stable milk procurement prices.
With the Indian dairy market projected to grow at a 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), the VAP segment is expected to expand at over 20% annually. Heritage Foods is positioning itself to capture a significant market share, leveraging its network of 7,200 distributors and 180,000 retail outlets. The company is also increasing its presence in modern retail and e-commerce platforms, further boosting revenue potential.
Heritage Foods has successfully maintained lower milk procurement costs compared to the previous year and expects stable prices, positively impacting net margins. Analysts forecast the company’s revenue to grow by 13.1% annually over the next three years, with earnings reaching $349 million by February 2028. However, rising procurement costs, fuel expenses, and reliance on consumer preferences pose potential risks to profitability.
Despite these challenges, analysts have set a consensus price target of $7.35 per share for Heritage Foods, reflecting a 30.9% potential upside from the current price of $5.08. The company’s strategic focus on high-margin dairy products and geographic expansion is expected to support long-term financial growth.
