## Which stock lists is JK Paper on? JK Paper is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is JK Paper profitable? JK Paper Ltd earned ₹136 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +61.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹274 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 17.2% a year on average. That is 7.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹84.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹274 Cr (−33.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +13.6% 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 −1.6% and revenue +10.0%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does JK Paper make, and is it growing? JK Paper Ltd reported ₹1,887 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +13.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 11.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹7,076 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹7,319 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹7,076 Cr, +6.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.0% on average, against 11.2% 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 +10.0%, against +3.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −4.9%, against −41.6% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does JK Paper keep? JK Paper Ltd's operating margin was 15.0% 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 31.0%. 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 +0.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +2.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is JK Paper's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 154% of JK Paper Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹773 Cr of operating cash against ₹274 Cr of profit. After ₹955 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹182 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 154% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 62 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 2.0× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does JK Paper's cash go? JK Paper Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 69 days in FY26, up from 7 days in FY21. It spent ₹2,071 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 28 days to pay, and stock sits for 113 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹7,076 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹19.4 Cr, so roughly ₹1,338 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 28 days to pay and stock sat for 113 days, about 3.7 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 69 days, longer than FY21's 7. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 113 days. Customers pay about 28 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 71 days. Together that makes the 69-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹2,071 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹1,019 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 ₹421 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 Paper's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? JK Paper Ltd's P/E is 20.3×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 81% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 10.1×, 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −39.2% while the price moved −7.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +9.8% a year; about −6.4% a year came from earnings growth and about +16.2 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more); over 10 years the price moved +15.2% a year; about +17.0% a year came from earnings growth and about −1.8 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 high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source has, is not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 12% 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 Paper business getting better or worse? JK Paper Ltd's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −64.1% at its low to −4.9%, improving for 4 quarters in a row, with ROCE falling at 7.0%. 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 Paper earn on its capital? JK Paper Ltd earned a ROCE of 7% in FY26. That is up from a low of 1% in FY14. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 3.9% net margin and 0.67× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 3.9% net margin × 0.67× asset turnover × 1.91× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 5.0% 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 12% 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 Paper have too much debt? JK Paper Ltd had ₹2,578 Cr of borrowings against ₹5,520 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.47× its equity. Its operating profit is 4 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹2,790 Cr to ₹2,578 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹2,071 Cr on assets. The spending on assets is being paid for from cash, not new debt. 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 12% 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 Paper shareholding pattern? Promoters raised their stake in JK Paper Ltd by 3.3 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Promoters now own 52.9% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +0.3 points over the same period, to 11.7%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: +3.3 points over 8 quarters, to 52.9%; Foreign institutions: +0.3 points over 8 quarters, to 11.7%; Domestic institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters, to 5.5%. Why the owners changed: promoters drove it (+3.3 points). They raised their stake step by step. ## How far is JK Paper from balance-sheet trouble? For JK Paper 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 Paper rank in its industry? 46.7 out of 100, rank 7 of 11 in Paper, with 78% of the evidence available. JK Paper Ltd scores 46.7 out of 100 against the 11 companies it is compared with in Paper, ranking 7. 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: 13.8 + 14.5 + 8.4 + 10 = 46.7. 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 Paper compared with? JK Paper ranks 7 of 11 Paper companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 46.7 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.
