Astral Foods Limited is a leading South African integrated poultry producer, specializing in animal feeds, broiler genetics, and various poultry production and distribution operations.
In its latest earnings report for the year ending September 30, 2025, Astral Foods showcased a solid financial performance with notable increases in revenue and earnings per share. The company declared a final dividend of 880 cents per share, reflecting a 112% increase from the previous year.
Key financial highlights include a 10.4% increase in group revenue to R22.6 billion, driven by higher broiler slaughter volumes and improved selling price realizations. The operating profit rose by 10.9% to R1,247.4 million, with a significant year-on-year increase of 42.8% when excluding once-off insurance recoveries from the prior year. The Poultry Division saw a revenue growth of 10.3%, while the Feed Division’s revenue increased by 9.8%, supported by higher sales volumes and feed selling prices.
Despite challenges such as bird flu and economic uncertainties in South Africa, Astral Foods remains focused on strategic growth and production efficiencies. The company aims to leverage its strong balance sheet to support capital investments and enhance its manufacturing capabilities.
Looking ahead, Astral Foods is poised to benefit from increased broiler production volumes and favorable maize prices, although it remains cautious of potential headwinds in the poultry sector and broader economic challenges in South Africa.
