## What is the latest news on H T Media? 4 Nov 2026: H T Media closed at ₹24.14, up 7.2% on the week and up 7.9% on the month. 5 Aug 2026: H T Media held its results call for April to June 2026. Management guided: Preferential issue proceeds to retire at least one-third of debt, stated as 30-50%, once capital comes in. ### Earlier

- Results for April to June 2026: Revenue up 10.9% on a year earlier. ## What dividend does H T Media pay? H T Media has paid no dividend on the NSE since 1 April 2021, the start of the period we checked. Not in its latest year. H T Media Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in FY26. It did pay a dividend in 4 of its last 12 reported years, so there is a history but no current dividend. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.)

## What did H T Media management say on the latest results call? On the call for April to June 2026, held on 5 August 2026, H T Media's management guided: Preferential issue proceeds to retire at least one-third of debt, stated as 30-50%, once capital comes in. > “If prices do not move adversely from here, we should be able to maintain our operating margins in the print business very clearly.”
> Piyush Gupta, on the call for April to June 2026

### What management guided

- Print operating margins broadly maintainable at the current level if newsprint prices do not worsen; Q2 costs expected slightly higher and advertiser mix/pricing may offset them. - Newsprint prices expected to plateau at the current peak before declining; no forward market prevents certainty. - Print margin downside sensitivity: US dollar at 100 and newsprint at 700 per metric ton would cause dilution. - Government print revenue expected to benefit from the November rate increase for the next two quarters. Management’s own plans and goals, from our notes of the call. A plan is not a result. Source: [the call transcript](https://files.tijorifinance.com/insight/india/4560/Conference Call/CC-Aug26.pdf).

## What to watch in H T Media's next results? When H T Media reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Print margin through the next quarter as newsprint costs rise slightly; test whether advertiser mix and pricing offset commodity pressure. - What to check (from the call)
- Print margin through the next quarter as newsprint costs rise slightly; test whether advertiser mix and pricing offset commodity pressure. - Preferential issue approvals and debt retirement execution; test whether proceeds follow the stated entity-level use. - Digital reset traction; test whether revenue contraction moderates and losses begin moving toward sustainable profitability. - Government print revenue in upcoming quarters; test whether rate-led benefits sustain growth alongside commercial yield. ## Which stock lists is H T Media on? H T Media is on one of our India lists: Penny stocks. [Penny stocks Earnings growth, 12 months (%): -100](https://www.sectoralpha.in/penny-stocks-india)

## Is H T Media profitable? H T Media Ltd earned ₹44.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹49.0 Cr. That is 10.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹11.0 Cr. 9 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was −₹49.0 Cr (−450.0% on the year before). ## How much revenue does H T Media make, and is it growing? H T Media Ltd reported ₹437 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +10.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown −3.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,803 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,897 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹1,803 Cr, +3.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +4.6% on average, against −3.2% 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 +4.1%, against +6.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does H T Media keep? H T Media Ltd's operating margin was 7.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 9.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 years it has been between −11.0% and 16.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +9.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is H T Media's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 294% of H T Media Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹99.0 Cr of operating cash against −₹49.0 Cr of profit. After −₹5.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹104 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 294% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 31 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives. What to look at next: it has been selling more assets than it buys. The next section shows those figures. ## Where does H T Media's cash go? H T Media Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −73 days in FY26, up from −104 days in FY21. Over the last 3 years it sold more assets than it bought, by ₹55.0 Cr. Customers take 80 days to pay, and stock sits for 88 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹1,803 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹4.9 Cr, so roughly −₹361 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 80 days to pay and stock sat for 88 days, about 2.9 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −73 days, longer than FY21's −104. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 88 days. Customers pay about 80 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 241 days. Together that makes the −73-day cycle. Over the last 3 years, money from selling assets was ₹55.0 Cr more than it spent on new ones. Work still in progress is ₹6.0 Cr (FY26). In short: assets are being sold, not built, so this cash is not going into new capacity. ## What is H T Media's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? H T Media Ltd's P/E is 4.6×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 11% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 9.2×, over 10 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 −3,012.5% while the price moved −9.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 10 years the price moved −10.1% a year; about −3.0% a year came from earnings growth and about −7.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). 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 low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the H T Media business getting better or worse? H T Media Ltd's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does H T Media earn on its capital? H T Media Ltd earned a ROCE of 6% in FY26. That is up from a low of −4% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 7.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −2.7% net margin and 0.45× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −2.7% net margin × 0.45× asset turnover × 2.45× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −3.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.7% − 12.0% = −7.3 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 4.7% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 3.2%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does H T Media have too much debt? H T Media Ltd has total debt of ₹766 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,009 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.38× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.35 in FY22 to 0.38 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the H T Media shareholding pattern? No group of H T Media Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Foreign institutions moved +0.0 points over the same period, to 0.0%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 69.5%; Foreign institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 0.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 0.1%. ## How far is H T Media from balance-sheet trouble? For H T Media 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 H T Media rank in its industry? 47.7 out of 100, rank 11 of 25 in Entertainment & Media, with 78% of the evidence available. H T Media Ltd scores 47.7 out of 100 against the 25 companies it is compared with in Entertainment & Media, ranking 11. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.9 + 7.3 + 14 + 9.5 = 47.7. 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 H T Media compared with? H T Media ranks 11 of 25 Entertainment & Media companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 47.7 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. 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.

This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 4 November 2026). ### Will H T Media's share price go up? This page does not forecast H T Media Ltd's share price. What it shows instead: the share price is ₹24.14, and it has been rising for 16 weeks. Its P/E of 4.6× is higher than 11% of its own last 10 years (as of 4 November 2026). ### Who owns H T Media?

No group of owners changed its stake by a full point over the last two years (as of 4 November 2026). ### Does H T Media have too much debt? H T Media Ltd has a moderate amount of debt: its debt is 0.47× its equity, and its operating profit is 2 times its interest bill. FY26 borrowings were ₹766 Cr against equity of ₹1,619 Cr. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 4 November 2026). ### What is H T Media's capex? H T Media Ltd sold more long-term assets (plants, machines and the like) than it bought over the last 3 years, by ₹55.0 Cr, worked out from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. Depreciation over the same years was ₹310 Cr (as of 4 November 2026). ### Is H T Media's profit real cash? Yes, over the last 3 years, 294% of H T Media Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from operations. The latest year was lower at -202%, so the trend is worth watching. In FY26, operating cash was ₹99.0 Cr against reported profit of −₹49.0 Cr. Most of that cash then goes into a mix of the daily operating cycle and new capacity. These are yearly figures (as of 4 November 2026). ### Where is H T Media in its business cycle? H T Media Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 7.0%, against a 12-year range of −11.0% to 16.0%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 7.0%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 4 November 2026). ### What could break the H T Media story? The main question: the share price moved −9.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −3,012.5%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 4 November 2026). ### Is H T Media a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: H T Media Ltd's results are improving, while its P/E is near the low end of its own history over 10 years, higher than only 11% of past readings. The main open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 4 November 2026). ### Is there a H T Media share price forecast for 2026? What management itself guided: Preferential issue proceeds to retire at least one-third of debt, stated as 30-50%, once capital comes in. ## Lists
