FDC is on one of our India lists: Pharma stocks.

FDC Ltd earned ₹49.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +75.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹281 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 5.2% a year on average. That is 8.6% 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 ₹28.0 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue changed +20.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +4.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +56.0% and revenue +10.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

FDC Ltd reported ₹572 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +20.9% 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 8.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹2,171 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,290 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹2,171 Cr, +3.0% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.8% on average, against 8.1% 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 +10.3%, against +5.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +38.7%, against −0.6% a year (accelerating).

FDC Ltd's operating margin was 11.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 4.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 14.0% and 25.0%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

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 +4.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.8 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, 87% of FDC Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹200 Cr of operating cash against ₹281 Cr of profit. After ₹165 Cr of spending on assets, ₹35.0 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 87% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 50 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 2.3× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

FDC Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 102 days in FY26, down from 152 days in FY21. It spent ₹351 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 26 days to pay, and stock sits for 182 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 ₹2,171 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹5.9 Cr, so roughly ₹607 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 26 days to pay and stock sat for 182 days, about 6.0 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 102 days, shorter than FY21's 152.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 182 days. Customers pay about 26 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 106 days. Together that makes the 102-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹351 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹153 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 ₹96.0 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.

FDC Ltd's P/E is 19.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 33% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 22.6×, 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 ₹19.24.
