From the call for July to September 2026, 29 October 2026.

When Control Print reports October to December 2026, these are the 3 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Qurious pilot outcome one way or the other within flagged window confirming field performance of integrated platform.

Control Print is on 2 of our India lists: Dividend stocks and IT stocks.

Control Print Ltd earned ₹13.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −31.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹44.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 5.4% a year on average. That is 9.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹19.0 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, FY26 profit was ₹44.0 Cr (−56.0% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +28.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved −3.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −52.1% and revenue +15.8%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Control Print Ltd reported ₹144 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +28.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 13.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹482 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹519 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹482 Cr, +13.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.8% on average, against 13.6% 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 +15.8%, against +15.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −68.0%, against −18.8% a year (rolling over).

Control Print Ltd's operating margin was 20.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 3.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 18.0% and 32.0%. 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 −3.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −4.5 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 76% of Control Print Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹50.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹44.0 Cr of profit. After ₹26.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹24.0 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 76% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 69 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.0× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Control Print Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 283 days in FY26, down from 352 days in FY21. It spent ₹98.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 89 days to pay, and stock sits for 271 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 ₹482 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹1.3 Cr, so roughly ₹374 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 89 days to pay and stock sat for 271 days, about 8.9 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 283 days, shorter than FY21's 352.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 271 days. Customers pay about 89 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 78 days. Together that makes the 283-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹98.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹49.0 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 ₹4.0 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.

Control Print Ltd's P/E is 28.5×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 92% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 17.7×, 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.
