Juhayna Food Industries' consolidated net profit rose 60% to about EGP 2.03 billion in the first nine months of 2026, from EGP 1.27 billion a year earlier. Net sales grew about 25% to EGP 27.66 billion from EGP 22.14 billion, and earnings per share rose to EGP 1.38 from EGP 0.86.

Margins widened over the period. Cost of sales rose to EGP 21.01 billion from EGP 17.31 billion, a slower pace than sales, lifting gross profit about 38% to EGP 6.65 billion from EGP 4.82 billion. On a standalone basis, the parent company's net profit reached about EGP 1.41 billion, against EGP 957 million a year earlier.

The company's first-half figures show where the growth came from. Revenue rose 25% to EGP 17.68 billion in the six months to June, on higher volumes across its segments and expansion in foreign markets. Chilled products grew 55% to EGP 5.24 billion and juices 31% to EGP 3.56 billion, while dairy, the core business, rose 12% to EGP 7.89 billion. Concentrates and agriculture fell 16% to EGP 787 million as the company shifts toward exporting finished, higher-value products. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 28% to EGP 2.02 billion, driven by marketing campaigns, wages, a wider distribution network and new product launches.

Juhayna is also investing in its milk supply. This week its dairy-farm arm, Enmaa for Animal Wealth, signed an EGP 1.73 billion loan of up to eight years with CIB to build new cattle barns and a milking facility and enlarge its herd.
