Peers are the listed companies in the exchange's own industry group: Print Media. Balance-sheet figures are from the latest filed balance sheet; trends show each financial year we hold.
Latest quarterIn the quarter to June 2026 (results filed 5 Aug 2026), sales rose 524.8% from a year earlier to Rs 458 cr and profit rose 71.4% to Rs 99.5 cr.
- No borrowings at the FY26 balance sheet.
- Profit fell 2 years running (Rs 189 cr in FY24 to Rs 65.8 cr in FY26).
- Operating margin fell from 23.6% in FY23 to 1.8% in FY26.
- Operations used cash in FY26 (-Rs 145 cr) while reported profit was Rs 65.8 cr.
Each line is written by a fixed rule from the company's own filings and share price, and names the figures it uses. It describes what happened; it is not advice about the share.
Over the last 20 results, the share rose on 8 and fell on 12, and moved by 3% or more on 13.
Q1 FY27: results filed 5 Aug 2026. The share went from its close on 4 Aug 2026 to its close on 6 Aug 2026 +18.57%.
Of every Rs 100 of sales in FY26, Rs 98 went on running costs, Rs 1.6 on depreciation, Rs 0.0 on interest and Rs 6.8 on tax; Rs 15 was left as profit.
Thin bar: money in (sales plus other income). Thick bar: where it went. Each year is scaled to its own sales, so the bars compare shares, not size.
Per year, compounded, between financial years FY26 and the year named; only spans our filings cover. The faint bar is the latest quarter against the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share is not shown: filed figures are not adjusted for bonus issues and splits, so its growth would mislead.

Each row is coloured against this company's own usual level, not against other companies: green is better than its middle year, red worse, plain is close to it. ROE, ROCE and debt rows start once the filings carry a full balance sheet (FY22 at the earliest).
At FY26 it owned Rs 1,527 Cr of assets. Its owners funded 94% of that, with no borrowings.
From the March balance sheet in the company's annual filing (2026-03-31). Each bar is the full balance sheet; "everything else" is what the filed total leaves after the named lines.
In FY26 the business itself brought in Rs -145 Cr, spent Rs 6 Cr on plant and equipment, and cash rose by Rs 1 Cr over the year.
Rs 100 or more means every rupee of reported profit arrived as cash.
Full financial year to 2026-03-31, from the company's cash flow statement.
Median rather than average, so one loss-making or one very expensive peer cannot drag the reference. Valuation is shown without a colour verdict: a higher multiple can mean expensive, or faster growth expected, and only you can decide which.

Operating margin has gone from 24.9% to 1.8% over these years - the share of every rupee of sales kept after running costs, before interest and tax. Full financial years only, so a part-year is never shown as a whole one. Hover any year for its complete figures.
2026 has paid Rs 5.00 per share, about Rs 529 on Rs 1 lakh at today's price. Dividends are at the company's discretion and can be cut or skipped.
The share of traded quantity that was actually delivered (not squared off intraday) - high delivery vs its 20-session average suggests real buying or holding, not just churn.
