Bikaji Foods International Ltd is one of India’s fastest-growing FMCG brands, renowned for its wide range of traditional and western snacks—including Bikaneri Bhujia, namkeen, packaged sweets, papad, and frozen foods. As the third-largest ethnic snacks company in India and the largest manufacturer of Bikaneri Bhujia, Bikaji has built a strong brand presence across domestic and international markets. Despite recent profit contraction due to elevated input costs and expansion-related expenses, the company continues to report healthy sales growth and maintains a robust balance sheet. This article provides a fact-based outlook and realistic share price targets for each year from 2026 to 2030.
Given the rich valuation (P/E 64x, P/B 10x), profit decline, but strong brand and sales momentum, upside is conditional on margin recovery. Targets assume:
EPS CAGR of 12–14% (supported by 10.5% sales growth)
P/E compression from 64x to 45–50x by 2030
Sustained market share gains in organised snacks
Year
Target Price Range (₹)
2026
₹680 – ₹760
2027
₹720 – ₹820
2028
₹760 – ₹890
2029
₹800 – ₹960
2030
₹840 – ₹1,030
⚠️ Important: Even at ₹1,030 in 2030, P/E would be ~50x—still premium for an FMCG player with sub-17% ROE.

Final Verdict
Bikaji Foods is a high-quality brand riding India’s snack formalisation wave. However, its current valuation and margin pressure make it unsuitable for aggressive buying. Our 2026–2030 price targets (₹680–₹1,030) reflect cautious optimism—contingent on operational recovery. Investors should consider small positions with a 5-year horizon.
