Yes. Info Edge (India) Ltd paid out 38% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in 10 of its last 13 reported years. 3 of those years show a negative figure because profit itself was negative. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.)

## What is the future of Naukri (Info Edge)? What is changing in the business? What is changing at Naukri (Info Edge), from the latest results and calls: recruitment ai monetization & gcc hiring expansion, 99acres traffic leadership & loss compression and jeevansathi & aisle breakeven inflection. - Recruitment AI Monetization & GCC Hiring Expansion. AI-Rex, Talent Pulse and GCC demand can support recruitment premiumization. ✓ fact
- 99acres Traffic Leadership & Loss Compression. Traffic share gains and reduced losses support the FY27 cash-generation test. ✓ fact
- Jeevansathi & Aisle Breakeven Inflection. Matrimony and dating platforms are reducing losses through scale and monetization. ✓ fact
- Naukri 360 Digital Self-Serve Model Scaling. A shift from telecalling to self-serve delivery can improve job-seeker economics. ✓ fact

We check 16 kinds of change in every company, such as costs spread over more sales, higher-value products, new orders, new regions or falling debt, against its reported numbers and what management said on its calls. Only changes the numbers back are shown. (Our read after the April to June 2026 results, written 22 August 2026. The July to September 2026 results are out since, so this part may be out of date until we update it.)

## What could change the Naukri (Info Edge) story? What are the risks? A sustained deceleration in core Naukri billings growth below 7% on a year earlier over two consecutive quarters, coupled with 99acres market-share loss, failure of AI-Rex paid conversion beyond initial trial cohorts, or consolidated operating margin falling materially toward the 25.3% normalized level without offsetting operating growth. ### Each change stops working if

- Recruitment AI Monetization & GCC Hiring Expansion: Corporate recruiters do not renew AI-Rex after trials or GCC hiring freezes because of global macro retrenchment. - 99acres Traffic Leadership & Loss Compression: Competitors restart heavy discounting or developer ad spending contracts before traffic converts into monetization. - Jeevansathi & Aisle Breakeven Inflection: Competitive discounting in Hindi-speaking markets requires materially higher marketing expenditure. - Naukri 360 Digital Self-Serve Model Scaling: Paid conversion plateaus or candidate willingness to pay for resume and interview tools weakens in a soft hiring cycle. ### The main risks

- AI-Driven Search Disruption in Education (Shiksha): AI-driven changes in search distribution contributed to a 23% April to June 2026 Shiksha billings decline. ⚠ estimate
- Sluggish Mid-Market Hiring and Volume Growth: Mid-market hiring remains the central uncertainty despite GCC and premium-hiring growth. ⚠ estimate
- Job Hai Rollout and Cash-Burn Execution: National expansion to 18 cities increases execution demands while annual burn was close to ₹50 crore. ⚠ estimate
- Monetization Lag in Real Estate (99acres): Builder monetization trails traffic and inquiry gains, while sales execution remains a near-term dependency. ⚠ estimate

## Is Naukri (Info Edge) profitable? Info Edge (India) Ltd earned ₹650 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +86.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 8th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,763 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 31.1% a year on average. That is 71.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹348 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹1,763 Cr (+34.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +12.3% 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 +37.8% and revenue +13.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. FY27-Q1. revenue ₹881 Cr and profit ₹490 Cr as reported. FY27-Q2. revenue ₹904 Cr and profit ₹650 Cr as reported. Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters. ## How much revenue does Naukri (Info Edge) make, and is it growing? Info Edge (India) Ltd reported ₹904 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +12.3% 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 15.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,285 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,473 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹3,285 Cr, +15.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +13.3% on average, against 15.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +13.2%, against +14.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +33.6%, against +100.4% a year (rolling over). FY27-Q1. revenue ₹881 Cr and profit ₹490 Cr as reported. FY27-Q2. revenue ₹904 Cr and profit ₹650 Cr as reported. Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters. ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Naukri (Info Edge) keep? Info Edge (India) Ltd's operating margin was 39.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 4.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 13 years it has been between −27.0% and 36.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +4.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. FY27-Q1. revenue ₹881 Cr and profit ₹490 Cr as reported. FY27-Q2. revenue ₹904 Cr and profit ₹650 Cr as reported. Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters. ## Is Naukri (Info Edge)'s profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 72% of Info Edge (India) Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,076 Cr of operating cash against ₹1,763 Cr of profit. After ₹103 Cr of spending on assets, ₹973 Cr was left over as free cash. Why this happened. Applying the Operating Leverage Catapult, 99acres reported 49% web, 55% app and 69% iOS traffic share in Q1 FY27. Management said losses narrowed on billing recovery, controlled costs and lower competitive pressure, with ₹2 crore current loss versus ₹17 crore underlying loss in the prior quarter. Management expects cash generation during FY27, contingent on sales fixes and softer competition. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 72% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle. 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 Naukri (Info Edge)'s cash go? Info Edge (India) Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 1 days in FY26, down from 2 days in FY21. It spent ₹300 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Why this happened. Info Edge is using its recruitment database to introduce AI-led recruiter workflows. AI-Rex reached more than 4,000 customers with over 10% paying, while Talent Pulse exceeded 600 paid customers and uses consumption-based tiers. This product effort coincided with 31% YoY GCC growth in Q1 FY27, although mid-market and consultant demand remain watch items. At FY26 sales of ₹3,285 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹9.0 Cr, so roughly ₹9.0 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. Spending on assets: ₹300 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹337 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is spending about what it takes to replace what wears out, or less. Work still in progress is ₹18.0 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 Naukri (Info Edge)'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Info Edge (India) Ltd's P/E is 46.2×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 17% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 77.2×, 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. 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 ₹27.19. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +50.6% while the price moved −14.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −0.7% a year; about +61.8% a year came from earnings growth and about −62.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved +20.5% a year; about +26.1% a year came from earnings growth and about −5.6 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. The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 352% on reported income across 16 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## What growth does the Naukri (Info Edge) share price assume? Worked out from its price on 26 August 2026, Info Edge (India) Ltd's share price assumed profit growth of about 28.3% a year. Over the past 10 years its profit actually grew 31.1% a year. Today its P/E is 46.2×, lower than 83% of its own last 11 years. This is a one-day reading, taken on 26 August 2026. Every other number on this page, the multiple included, uses the latest price as of 3 November 2026. A higher price assumes more growth and a lower price less, so it changes whenever the price changes, and this page does not update it between measurements. ## Is the Naukri (Info Edge) business getting better or worse? Info Edge (India) Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. Growth is slowing from a very fast pace: profit growth has eased from +23900.0% at its peak to +33.6%, but the business is still expanding, with ROCE steady at 3.0%. This is based on 10 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## What is the Naukri (Info Edge) story, and has it been checked? Info Edge (India) Ltd's story is not scored yet against the checks our research set on 22 August 2026. Where it sits in its own cycle: MID EXPANSION. Our read, 22 August 2026. From the numbers. Info Edge is in MID EXPANSION operationally: revenue grew 11.4-15.9% YoY across the latest four quarters and OPM rose from 35% to 39%. Margin expansion…

From the price. Price stage 2, week 11, below its 200-day line, relative strength falling. From the research. Where they disagree. Info Edge is in MID EXPANSION operationally: revenue grew 11.4-15.9% YoY across the latest four quarters and OPM rose from 35% to 39%. A rebuttal requires sustained 99acres cash generation, recurring AI-product renewals and margin durability without reliance on non-core income. What is proven. What is not proven yet. A sustained deceleration in core Naukri billings growth below 7% YoY over two consecutive quarters, coupled with 99acres market-share loss, failure of AI-Rex paid conversion beyond initial trial cohorts, or consolidated OPM falling materially toward the 25.3% normalized level without offsetting operating growth. What would change our mind. A sustained deceleration in core Naukri billings growth below 7% YoY over two consecutive quarters, coupled with 99acres market-share loss, failure of AI-Rex paid conversion beyond initial trial cohorts, or consolidated OPM falling materially toward the 25.3% normalized level without offsetting operating growth. The test written in advance. The test written in advance. AI-Driven Search Disruption in Education (Shiksha). Measured by: AI-Driven Search Disruption in Education (Shiksha) Shiksha billings decline worse than 25% YoY or a move from profitable operating PBT to operating loss. by the next result. What the company does. Core recruitment reported a 58% segment operating margin and new AI-led products, while GCC hiring expanded 31% YoY in Q1 FY27. 99acres and Jeevansathi have narrowed losses, but their progress must translate into durable cash generation before it offsets a slowing mid-market hiring cycle. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: Operating margin reached 39% in Q1 FY27. The research reads it further: OPM rose from 33% to 39% YoY, but the deterministic normalization identifies 38.7% trailing OPM as the 95th percentile of the historical band. Recruitment margin, the Naukri 360 self-serve shift and 99acres loss reduction may support margin, while mid-market hiring remains a constraint. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: Net profit grew 309.4% YoY in Q2 FY26. The research reads it further: The growth rate reflects the unusually low Q2 FY25 PAT base and below-operating-line effects, not a like-for-like tripling of operating capacity.

The story check is re-scored every results season; the record below never changes. ## Did Naukri (Info Edge) management deliver what it promised? What Info Edge (India) Ltd's management promised, against what actually happened: 4 promises on the record. Read straight from the company’s own earnings calls. A promise that slipped stays on this page after it is met. AI-Rex Adoption Count Declines Without Reconciliation · 28 October 2026. In Aug 2026, management said AI-Rex was live across more than 4,000 enterprise customers and recruitment firms, with over 10% already paying. In Oct 2026, management said only 2,000 accounts were trying AI-Rex, but did not explain whether the customer population or measurement definition had changed, creating a material inconsistency for assumptions about AI monetization and adoption momentum. Job Hai Rollout Accelerated Without Reconciliation · 10 August 2026. In Feb 2026, management described a measured expansion over the following 12 months, focused initially on Bombay, Bangalore and a few other cities. Real Estate Traffic Share Revision · 13 February 2026. Management significantly overstated their Q2 market position in the prior call, claiming a 47-50% traffic share. In the latest call, they retroactively revised the Q2 traffic share down to 44%, creating a discrepancy in the competitive dominance narrative. Earlier call (Nov 2025): “Our traffic share for the last three months has averaged between 47% to 50% while the other two players are in the mid-20s range. In the month of September, we touched 50% as well.” Later call (Feb 2026): “Our investments in the platform supported additional gains in traffic share with the quarterly average at 46% up from 44% in Q2.”

Matrimony Strategy Pivot · 13 February 2026. In November 2025, management explicitly stated they were not focused on profitability and were prioritizing growth and market share. By February 2026, the narrative shifted to focusing on improving sales conversions, ARPUs, and operating near break-even due to high competitive intensity. Earlier call (Nov 2025): “Again, we are not focused on profitability, we want to grow and gain share in Jeevansathi.” Later call (Feb 2026): “Jeevansathi remained focused on improving sales conversions and Arpus during the quarter... Both businesses are operating near break even now.”

Every quote above is taken word for word from the company’s own earnings calls. ## How much does Naukri (Info Edge) earn on its capital? Info Edge (India) Ltd earned a ROCE of 3% in FY26. That is up from a low of −13% in FY20. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 53.7% net margin and 0.07× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 53.7% net margin × 0.07× asset turnover × 1.25× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 4.7% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The quarterly return lines and the return-on-capital-used (ROIC) line, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 352% on reported income across 16 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does Naukri (Info Edge) have too much debt? Info Edge (India) Ltd had ₹259 Cr of borrowings against ₹37,914 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.01× its equity. Its operating profit is 28 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹65.0 Cr to ₹259 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹300 Cr on assets. Part of the spending on assets is being paid for with borrowed money. The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 352% on reported income across 16 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## What is the Naukri (Info Edge) shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions raised their stake in Info Edge (India) Ltd by 7.9 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 26.8% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −6.8 points over the same period, to 25.5%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +7.9 points over 8 quarters, to 26.8%; Foreign institutions: −6.8 points over 8 quarters, to 25.5%; Promoters: −0.5 points over 8 quarters, to 37.2%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −6.8 points and domestic institutions +7.9 points over 8 quarters, while promoters moved −0.5 points. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company. ## How far is Naukri (Info Edge) from balance-sheet trouble? For Info Edge (India) 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 Naukri (Info Edge) rank in its industry? 45.1 out of 100, rank 10 of 13 in E-Commerce - Platform - Utility, with 75% of the evidence available. Info Edge (India) Ltd scores 45.1 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in E-Commerce - Platform - Utility, ranking 10. 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: 21.2 + 9.8 + 9.6 + 4.5 = 45.1. 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 Naukri (Info Edge) compared with?

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.
