## Is Jagran Prakashan profitable? Jagran Prakashan Ltd earned ₹61.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −9.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹185 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown −6.2% a year on average. That is 12.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹67.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹185 Cr (+96.8% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +8.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +4.7% and revenue +0.9%. 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 Jagran Prakashan make, and is it growing? Jagran Prakashan Ltd reported ₹499 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +8.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown −1.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,876 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,915 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹1,876 Cr, −0.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +0.9% on average, against −1.0% 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 +0.6%, against −0.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +47.9%, against +5.1% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Jagran Prakashan keep? Jagran Prakashan Ltd's operating margin was 14.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, about the same as the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 8.0% and 28.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. In the latest quarter it moved +0.0 percentage points on the same quarter a year ago. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −3.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Jagran Prakashan's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 178% of Jagran Prakashan Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹269 Cr of operating cash against ₹185 Cr of profit. After ₹15.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹254 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 178% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 62 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner. What to look at next: it has been selling more assets than it buys. The next section shows those figures. ## Where does Jagran Prakashan's cash go? Jagran Prakashan Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 10 days in FY26, down from 72 days in FY21. Over the last 3 years it sold more assets than it bought, by ₹77.0 Cr. Customers take 86 days to pay, and stock sits for 36 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹1,876 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹5.1 Cr, so roughly ₹51.0 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 86 days to pay and stock sat for 36 days, about 1.2 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 10 days, shorter than FY21's 72. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 36 days. Customers pay about 86 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 112 days. Together that makes the 10-day cycle. Over the last 3 years, money from selling assets was ₹77.0 Cr more than it spent on new ones. Work still in progress is ₹1.0 Cr (FY26). In short: assets are being sold, not built, so this cash is not going into new capacity. ## What is Jagran Prakashan's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Jagran Prakashan Ltd's P/E is 7.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 19% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 11.3×, 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +50.3% while the price moved −11.4%. 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 −0.6% a year; about +4.8% a year came from earnings growth and about −5.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved −10.0% a year; about −2.0% a year came from earnings growth and about −8.0 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 Jagran Prakashan business getting better or worse? Jagran Prakashan Ltd's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 4 quarters ago at −25.3% and has recovered to +47.9%, with ROCE rising at 12.3%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## How much does Jagran Prakashan earn on its capital? Jagran Prakashan Ltd earned a ROCE of 12% in FY26. That is up from a low of 5% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.1 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 9.9% net margin and 0.70× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 9.9% net margin × 0.70× asset turnover × 1.33× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 9.2% 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: 8.9% − 12.0% = −3.1 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. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 8.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 10.1%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Jagran Prakashan have too much debt? Jagran Prakashan Ltd has total debt of ₹110 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,131 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.05× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.15 in FY22 to 0.05 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Jagran Prakashan shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions cut their stake in Jagran Prakashan Ltd by 5.7 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 3.4% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.3 points over the same period, to 2.2%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: −5.7 points over 8 quarters, to 3.4%; Foreign institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters, to 2.2%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 69.0%. Why the owners changed: domestic institutions drove it (−5.7 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Jagran Prakashan from balance-sheet trouble? For Jagran Prakashan 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 Jagran Prakashan rank in its industry? 70.1 out of 100, rank 1 of 3 in Newspaper, with 93% of the evidence available. Jagran Prakashan Ltd scores 70.1 out of 100 against the 3 companies it is compared with in Newspaper, ranking 1. 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: 22.6 + 12.6 + 17.7 + 17.2 = 70.1. 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 Jagran Prakashan 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.
