From the call for April to June 2026, 29 September 2026.

When Astral reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Plumbing demand momentum - check whether the robust current-quarter trend converts into reported volume growth.

Astral is on 2 of our India lists: 52 week high & low and Small & mid cap stocks.

Astral Ltd earned ₹120 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +51.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹535 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 18.0% a year on average. That is 7.6% of the quarter's revenue.

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

The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹79.0 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹535 Cr (+3.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +15.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +22.8% and revenue +16.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Astral Ltd reported ₹1,578 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +15.9% 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 14.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹6,569 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹6,785 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹6,569 Cr, +12.6% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +16.4% on average, against 14.6% 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 +16.8%, against +8.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +20.3%, against +2.7% a year (accelerating).

Astral Ltd's operating margin was 15.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 12.0% and 20.0%. 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 +1.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.2 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 161% of Astral Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,117 Cr of operating cash against ₹535 Cr of profit. After ₹497 Cr of spending on assets, ₹620 Cr was left over as free cash.

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.

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

Why 161% 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 2.3× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Astral Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 23 days in FY26, down from 23 days in FY21. It spent ₹1,690 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 26 days to pay, and stock sits for 107 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 ₹6,569 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹18.0 Cr, so roughly ₹414 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 26 days to pay and stock sat for 107 days, about 3.5 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 23 days, shorter than FY21's 23.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 107 days. Customers pay about 26 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 110 days. Together that makes the 23-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹1,690 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹733 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 ₹94.0 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.

Astral Ltd's P/E is 64.6×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 25% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 75.2×, 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 Jun 2026 add up to ₹21.43.
