Two changes stood out: indian funds and insurers (DIIs) cut their stake for 3 quarters in a row and operating margin down 5 points on a year earlier.

1. Indian funds and insurers (DIIs) cut their stake for 3 quarters in a row

   From 19.9% to 19.4% of the company by the September 2026 quarter.

2. Operating margin down 5 points on a year earlier

   14% in the September 2026 quarter, from 19%.

   Why: Margins fell because the fuel used in the kilns and the cost of moving cement both jumped. Using more domestic coal and green power helped, but not enough to cover the increase.

Ambuja Cements Ltd earned ₹236 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −89.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year Mar 2026 profit was ₹5,637 Cr. Over 11 years profit has grown 19.3% a year on average. That is 2.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹2,336 Cr.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, Mar 2026 profit was ₹5,637 Cr (+6.5% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +0.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved −5.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −43.5% and revenue +2.8%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Ambuja Cements Ltd reported ₹9,197 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +0.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 11 years it has grown 14.2% a year on average. The last full year, Mar 2026, came in at ₹40,656 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹39,890 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Mar 2026 revenue was ₹40,656 Cr, +15.1% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +2.8% on average, against 14.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +2.7%, against +10.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −57.3%, against −9.9% a year (rolling over).

Ambuja Cements Ltd's operating margin was 14.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 5.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 13.0% and 21.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −5.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −2.0 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 85% of Ambuja Cements Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In Mar 2026 it brought in ₹5,362 Cr of operating cash against ₹5,637 Cr of profit.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

After ₹18,330 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹12,968 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why 85% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 95 days longer between FY20 and Mar 2026, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 6.5× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Ambuja Cements Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 37 days in Mar 2026, up from −58 days in FY20. It spent ₹48,802 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 17 days to pay, and stock sits for 246 days on average.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

At Mar 2026 sales of ₹40,656 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹111 Cr, so roughly ₹4,121 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

Mar 26: customers took 17 days to pay and stock sat for 246 days, about 8.1 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 37 days, longer than FY20's −58.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 246 days. Customers pay about 17 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 227 days. Together that makes the 37-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹48,802 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹7,495 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹9,121 Cr (Mar 2026): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Ambuja Cements Ltd's P/E is 30.9×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 57% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 28.8×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Sep 2026 add up to ₹11.47.
