1. Profit grew again in the September 2026 quarter

   Profit was ₹-9 crore, +45.8% on a year earlier (₹-16 crore), after 4 quarters of decline.

   Why: Net profit, what is left after costs and taxes, improved because Q2 sales rebounded on new cotton hybrids and exports and the quarter swung from a loss to a small operating profit.

   Next results: check whether H2 sales land within management's plus or minus 10% range.

2. Operating margin up 3.1 points on a year earlier

   0.3% in the September 2026 quarter, from -2.9%.

   Why: Operating margin, the share of sales left after running costs, rose because Q2 sales rebounded on new cotton hybrids and exports and the quarter moved from a loss to a small operating profit.

Kaveri Seed Company is on one of our India lists: 52 week high & low.

Kaveri Seed Company Ltd posted a net loss of ₹8.8 Cr in the Sep 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹296 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 5.9% a year on average. That loss is 3.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹16.2 Cr. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹296 Cr (+5.0% on the year before).

Kaveri Seed Company Ltd reported ₹244 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +11.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 6.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,392 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,304 Cr.

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

FY26 revenue was ₹1,392 Cr, +15.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.4% on average, against 6.5% 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 −2.8%, against +5.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −15.5%, against −7.8% a year (rolling over).

Kaveri Seed Company Ltd's operating margin was 0.3% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 3.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 20.0% and 29.0%. 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 +3.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.9 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 66% of Kaveri Seed Company Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 its operations used ₹6.0 Cr of cash, against ₹296 Cr of profit.

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.

After ₹115 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹121 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 66% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 115 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 115 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck.

Kaveri Seed Company Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 396 days in FY26, up from 281 days in FY21. It spent ₹296 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 29 days to pay, and stock sits for 608 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 ₹1,392 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹3.8 Cr, so roughly ₹1,510 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 29 days to pay and stock sat for 608 days, about 20.0 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 396 days, longer than FY21's 281.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 608 days. Customers pay about 29 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 241 days. Together that makes the 396-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹296 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹128 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 ₹130 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.

Kaveri Seed Company Ltd's P/E is 13.6×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 35% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 15.0×, 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.
