Control Print is on 2 of our India lists: Dividend stocks and IT stocks. - [Dividend stocks Regular dividend yield (%): 1.73](https://www.sectoralpha.in/dividend-stocks-india) - [IT stocks Market value (₹ crore): 922.0027626694293](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sectors/it-stocks-india) ## Is Control Print profitable? 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. 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. ## How much revenue does Control Print make, and is it growing? 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. 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). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Control Print keep? 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. 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. ## Is Control Print's profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does Control Print's cash go? 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. 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. ## What is Control Print's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Control Print Ltd's P/E is 27.5×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 91% 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −56.4% while the price moved −22.0%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +11.7% a year; about −0.2% a year came from earnings growth and about +11.9 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more); over 10 years the price moved +7.4% a year; about +3.0% a year came from earnings growth and about +4.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Control Print business getting better or worse? Control Print Ltd's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −68.0% in the latest quarter, against +122.2% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 15.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Control Print earn on its capital? Control Print Ltd earned a ROCE of 16% in FY26. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 9.1% net margin and 0.83× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 9.1% net margin × 0.83× asset turnover × 1.28× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 9.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 8.5% − 12.0% = −3.5 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 8.5% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 11.0%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Control Print have too much debt? Control Print Ltd has total debt of ₹6.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹467 Cr as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.01× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.02 in FY22 to 0.02 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Control Print shareholding pattern? Foreign institutions cut their stake in Control Print Ltd by 1.0 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 2.8% of the company. Promoters moved +0.5 points over the same period, to 53.2%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −1.0 points over 8 quarters, to 2.8%; Promoters: +0.5 points over 8 quarters, to 53.2%; Domestic institutions: −0.4 points over 8 quarters, to 0.0%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions drove it (−1.0 points), with the other side taken by promoters (+0.5 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Control Print from balance-sheet trouble? For Control Print Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Control Print rank in its industry? 39.8 out of 100, rank 3 of 4 in Computer - Hardware, with 82% of the evidence available. Control Print Ltd scores 39.8 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Computer - Hardware, ranking 3. A strong business with a high valuation: it would need rising earnings, or a lower multiple, to score better on value. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 12.3 + 17.2 + 2.8 + 7.5 = 39.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Control Print compared with?

Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
