Amounts as the company declared them on the NSE. A dividend goes to whoever owns the shares before the ex-date.

Yes. Andhra Paper Ltd paid out 53% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in 5 of its last 13 reported years. One of those years shows a negative figure because profit itself was negative.

From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.

Andhra Paper is on 2 of our India lists: Momentum stocks and Penny stocks.

Andhra Paper Ltd earned ₹4.3 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹19.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown −6.4% a year on average. That is 1.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹20.3 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

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, FY26 profit was ₹19.0 Cr (−78.7% on the year before).

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +8.4% and revenue +13.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Andhra Paper Ltd reported ₹426 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +17.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 4.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,701 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,766 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹1,701 Cr, +10.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +13.9% on average, against 4.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +14.0%, against +5.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +153.8%, against −47.6% a year (accelerating).

Andhra Paper Ltd's operating margin was 6.8% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 8.6 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 4.0% and 35.0%. 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 +8.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +4.9 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 82% of Andhra Paper Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹104 Cr of operating cash against ₹19.0 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 ₹332 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹228 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 82% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 3.6× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Andhra Paper Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 68 days in FY26, up from 66 days in FY21. It spent ₹934 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 33 days to pay, and stock sits for 87 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 FY26 sales of ₹1,701 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹4.7 Cr, so roughly ₹317 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 33 days to pay and stock sat for 87 days, about 2.9 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 68 days, longer than FY21's 66.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 87 days. Customers pay about 33 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 53 days. Together that makes the 68-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹934 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹261 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 ₹279 Cr (FY26): 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.

Andhra Paper Ltd's P/E is 24.5×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 78% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 11.8×, 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.
