IST share price: then and now

Weekly closing prices. Each change is the move from that price to the 3 Nov 2026 close. A day's intraday high or low can go beyond these weekly closes.

542 weekly closes from 11 March 2016 to 3 November 2026.

3 Nov 2026: IST closed at ₹619.10, up 0.3% on the week and down 2.5% on the month. Results for April to June 2026: Revenue up 20.7% and profit up 15.3% on a year earlier.

IST has paid no dividend on the NSE since 1 April 2021, the start of the period we checked.

No. IST Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in each of its last 13 reported years, so there is no payout history to show. That comes from the filed annual statements, not an estimate.

From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.

IST is not on any of our India lists this week.

IST Ltd earned ₹83.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. That quarter includes a one-off gain bigger than its revenue, so the comparison with last year does not reflect normal business. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹154 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 8.2% a year on average. That is 237.1% 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 ₹72.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 2026 profit was ₹83.0 Cr, +15.3% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹154 Cr (+10.0% on the year before).

Read this profit with care: at ₹83.0 Cr it is bigger than the quarter's whole revenue of ₹35.0 Cr. No business earns more than it takes in from sales, so this is a one-off item (for example a debt settlement, a tax write-back or an asset sale), not money the business earned. The underlying business is running at a 46.0% operating margin. The jump on last year, and any P/E built on this profit, come from the one-off, not from a real turn in earnings.

IST Ltd reported ₹35.0 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +20.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 4.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹126 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹132 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹126 Cr, +9.6% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.4% on average, against 4.9% 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 +14.8%, against +9.5% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +3.1%, against +7.5% a year (rolling over).

IST Ltd's operating margin was 46.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 26.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 63.0% and 79.0%. 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 −26.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.4 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 31% of IST Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 it brought in ₹85.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹154 Cr of profit. After −₹32.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹117 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 31% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 420 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives. When less than 70% of profit comes in as cash, it is the thing to watch on this page.

What to look at next: less of the profit turns into cash than it should, and the cash cycle is 420 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck.

IST Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 580 days in FY26, up from 160 days in FY21. It spent ₹18.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 24 days to pay, and stock sits for 570 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 ₹126 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹0.3 Cr, so roughly ₹200 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 24 days to pay and stock sat for 570 days, about 18.8 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 580 days, longer than FY21's 160.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 570 days. Customers pay about 24 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 15 days. Together that makes the 580-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹18.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹16.0 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: cash is getting stuck in the daily cycle, so watch the cycle more than the profit.

IST Ltd's P/E is 4.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 18% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 6.4×, 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.
