Three changes stood out: revenue up on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row, highest quarterly revenue in 15 quarters and operating margin down 4 points on a year earlier. 1. Revenue up on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row In the June 2026 quarter revenue was ₹1,905 crore, +9.4% on a year earlier. Why: Revenue rose because the company sold more cement and got better prices by choosing where it sold. From the earnings call on 6 Aug 2026. 2. Highest quarterly revenue in 15 quarters Revenue of ₹1,905 crore in the June 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 15 quarters. Why: Revenue hit a record because the company sold more cement and got better prices by choosing where it sold. From the earnings call on 6 Aug 2026. 3. Operating margin down 4 points on a year earlier 14% in the June 2026 quarter, from 18%. Why: Margins fell because fuel, raw material and packing costs rose, and the company could only recover part of that through higher prices. Next results: check whether price increases cover higher fuel and packaging costs as seasonal demand weakens. From the earnings call on 6 Aug 2026. ## What are JK Lakshmi Cement's latest quarterly results?

## Is JK Lakshmi Cement profitable? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd earned ₹108 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −28.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹413 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 59.0% a year on average. That is 5.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹150 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹413 Cr (+49.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +9.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −4.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −26.9% and revenue +10.0%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does JK Lakshmi Cement make, and is it growing? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd reported ₹1,905 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +9.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 9.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹6,763 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹6,927 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹6,763 Cr, +9.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.0% on average, against 9.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +8.7%, against +2.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +0.5%, against −10.7% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does JK Lakshmi Cement keep? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd's operating margin was 14.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 4.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 10.0% and 20.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −4.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −4.1 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is JK Lakshmi Cement's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 235% of JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,082 Cr of operating cash against ₹413 Cr of profit. After ₹130 Cr of spending on assets, ₹952 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 235% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 72 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: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.4× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does JK Lakshmi Cement's cash go? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 57 days in FY26, up from −15 days in FY21. It spent ₹2,090 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 6 days to pay, and stock sits for 184 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹6,763 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹18.5 Cr, so roughly ₹1,056 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 6 days to pay and stock sat for 184 days, about 6.1 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 57 days, longer than FY21's −15. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 184 days. Customers pay about 6 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 133 days. Together that makes the 57-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹2,090 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹869 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹277 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is JK Lakshmi Cement's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd's P/E is 15.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 26% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 21.4×, 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. 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 ₹29.79. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +41.1% while the price moved −45.3%. 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 −5.5% a year; about −6.5% a year came from earnings growth and about +1.0 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). 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 53% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Is the JK Lakshmi Cement business getting better or worse? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −40.4% at its low to +0.5%, rising from a low 5 quarters ago, with ROCE steady at 12.0%. This is based on 8 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. 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. ## How much does JK Lakshmi Cement earn on its capital? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd earned a ROCE of 12% in FY26. That is up from a low of 4% in FY16. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 6.1% net margin and 0.79× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 6.1% net margin × 0.79× asset turnover × 2.20× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 10.6% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. 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 53% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does JK Lakshmi Cement have too much debt? JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd had ₹2,586 Cr of borrowings against ₹3,886 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.67× its equity. Its operating profit is 5 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹1,672 Cr to ₹2,586 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹2,090 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 53% on reported income across 15 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 JK Lakshmi Cement shareholding pattern? Foreign institutions cut their stake in JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd by 2.9 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 8.7% of the company. Promoters moved −1.2 points over the same period, to 45.1%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −2.9 points over 8 quarters, to 8.7%; Promoters: −1.2 points over 8 quarters, to 45.1%; Domestic institutions: +0.4 points over 8 quarters, to 25.4%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions drove it (−2.9 points), together with promoters (−1.2 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is JK Lakshmi Cement from balance-sheet trouble? For JK Lakshmi Cement 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 JK Lakshmi Cement rank in its industry? 49.9 out of 100, rank 9 of 26 in Cement, with 56% of the evidence available. JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd scores 49.9 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Cement, ranking 9. Some evidence is missing, so the score is pulled toward the middle on purpose. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.5 + 14.4 + 10.8 + 8.2 = 49.9. 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 JK Lakshmi Cement compared with? JK Lakshmi Cement ranks 9 of 26 Cement companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 49.9 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.
