Jubilant FoodWorks Shares Jump After Strong Q2 Momentum

Introduction

Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd (NSE: JUBLFOOD) surged 7–8% on November 14, 2025, after delivering an impressive operational performance in Q2 FY26 and attracting fresh institutional interest.

Brokerages remain split, but the market is clearly rewarding the company’s improved margins, strong Domino’s traction, and rapid expansion of Popeyes. Q2 profit jumped 52.6% YoY, supported by steady growth in the pizza and chicken QSR(Quick Service Restaurant) categories. Analysts attribute the positive outlook to better store-level efficiency, cost controls, and consistent expansion across multiple international and home-grown brands.

Now, let’s dive deep into Jubilant FoodWorks — its business model, financial journey, milestones, corporate actions, and whether this stock deserves a spot on your watchlist.
