Three changes stood out: profit grew again in the June 2026 quarter, highest quarterly profit in 14 quarters and operating margin up 8 points on a year earlier. 1. Profit grew again in the June 2026 quarter Profit was ₹51 crore, +410% on a year earlier (₹10 crore), after 3 quarters of decline. Why: Profit rose because the company cut costs and made the organisation leaner. Next results: check whether print margin holds as newsprint costs rise next quarter. From the earnings call on 5 Aug 2026. 2. Highest quarterly profit in 14 quarters Profit of ₹51 crore in the June 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 14 quarters. Why: This was the best quarter in 14 quarters because cost cuts and a leaner organisation lifted profitability. From the earnings call on 5 Aug 2026. 3. Operating margin up 8 points on a year earlier 14% in the June 2026 quarter, from 6%. Why: The margin rose because the company cut costs and made the organisation leaner.

- Results for April to June 2026: Revenue up 19.4% and profit up 410.0% on a year earlier. ## What dividend does Hindustan Media Ventures pay? Hindustan Media Ventures has paid no dividend on the NSE since its first NSE close in our records (17 April 2026), the start of the period we checked. Not in its latest year. Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in FY26. It did pay a dividend in 4 of its last 11 reported years, so there is a history but no current dividend. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.)

## What did Hindustan Media Ventures management say on the latest results call? On the call for April to June 2026, held on 5 August 2026, Hindustan Media Ventures' management guided: Newsprint prices expected to plateau before declining; print margins maintained if prices do not worsen. > “Once this preferential capital comes in, this money will be used to retire debt. At least one-third of the debt, or 30-50% of the debt, will be retired, which will definitely be accretive to EPS, the long-term interest coverage ratio, our credit rating and so on.”
> Piyush Gupta, Group CFO, on the call for April to June 2026

### What management guided

- Q2 newsprint costs slightly higher than Q1; exact margin outcome depends on advertiser categories and pricing received. - Government advertising revenue to benefit for the next two quarters from the November rate increase and lower pricing base. - Preferential-issue proceeds to retire 30-50% of debt after capital is raised. - Debt retirement expected to improve EPS, long-term interest coverage and credit rating, with added flexibility for future ventures. 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/6431/Conference Call/CC-Aug26.pdf).

## What to watch in Hindustan Media Ventures' next results? When Hindustan Media Ventures reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course.

Hindustan Media Ventures is on one of our India lists: Penny stocks. [Penny stocks Earnings growth, 12 months (%): 2.53](https://www.sectoralpha.in/penny-stocks-india)

## Is Hindustan Media Ventures profitable? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd earned ₹51.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +410.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹49.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown −12.2% a year on average. That is 25.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹10.0 Cr. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹49.0 Cr (−37.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +19.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +8.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +61.8% and revenue +11.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Hindustan Media Ventures make, and is it growing? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd reported ₹197 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +19.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown −2.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹740 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹793 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹740 Cr, +10.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.4% on average, against −2.1% 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 +10.8%, against +6.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +2.3%, against +321.9% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Hindustan Media Ventures keep? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's operating margin was 14.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 8.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 11 years it has been between −12.0% and 29.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +8.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.2 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Hindustan Media Ventures' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 92% of Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹72.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹49.0 Cr of profit. After ₹65.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹7.0 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 92% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 106 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner. What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does Hindustan Media Ventures' cash go? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −111 days in FY26, down from −5 days in FY21. It spent ₹86.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 62 days to pay, and stock sits for 53 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹740 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹2.0 Cr, so roughly −₹225 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 62 days to pay and stock sat for 53 days, about 1.7 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −111 days, shorter than FY21's −5. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 53 days. Customers pay about 62 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 226 days. Together that makes the −111-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹86.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹65.0 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building a little beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹0.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is Hindustan Media Ventures' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's P/E is 3.6×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 8% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 8.2×, 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. 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 ₹12.17. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Hindustan Media Ventures business getting better or worse? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE steady at 4.7%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. 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. ## How much does Hindustan Media Ventures earn on its capital? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd earned a ROCE of 11% in FY26. That is up from a low of −3% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.1 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 6.6% net margin and 0.30× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 6.6% net margin × 0.30× asset turnover × 1.55× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.1% 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: 14.1% − 12.0% = +2.1 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. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does Hindustan Media Ventures have too much debt? Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd has total debt of ₹85.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,587 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.05× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.08 in FY22 to 0.05 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Hindustan Media Ventures shareholding pattern? No group of Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same period, to 74.4%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters, to 0.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 74.4%. ## How far is Hindustan Media Ventures from balance-sheet trouble? For Hindustan Media Ventures 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 Hindustan Media Ventures rank in its industry? 64.5 out of 100, rank 5 of 25 in Entertainment & Media, with 81% of the evidence available. Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd scores 64.5 out of 100 against the 25 companies it is compared with in Entertainment & Media, ranking 5. 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: 20.3 + 13.7 + 19.5 + 11 = 64.5. 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 Hindustan Media Ventures compared with? Hindustan Media Ventures ranks 5 of 25 Entertainment & Media companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 64.5 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.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways, rising, stalling and falling (as of 4 November 2026). ### Will Hindustan Media Ventures's share price go up? This page does not forecast Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's share price. What it shows instead: the share price is ₹77.31, and it has been rising for 18 weeks. Its P/E of 3.6× is higher than 8% of its own last 10 years (as of 4 November 2026). ### Who owns Hindustan Media Ventures? Promoters own 74.4% of Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd, foreign institutions 0.1%, domestic institutions, and the public 25.2% (latest quarter). No group of owners changed its stake by a full point over the last two years (as of 4 November 2026). ### Does Hindustan Media Ventures have too much debt? No, Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd has little debt: its debt is 0.05× its equity, and its operating profit is 14 times its interest bill. FY26 borrowings were ₹85.0 Cr against equity of ₹1,588 Cr.

Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 15.0%, against a 11-year range of −12.0% to 29.0%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 14.0%. 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 Hindustan Media Ventures story? Biggest thing to watch: the price has already been rising for 18 weeks, so timing is the risk more than the business. 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 Hindustan Media Ventures a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd's results are improving, while its P/E is near the low end of its own history over 10 years, higher than only 8% of past readings. The main open question: the next one or two quarters of results. 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 Hindustan Media Ventures share price forecast for 2026? What management itself guided: Newsprint prices expected to plateau before declining; print margins maintained if prices do not worsen. ## Lists
