Kothari Petrochemicals dividends since 1 April 2021

Amounts as the company declared them on the NSE. A dividend goes to whoever owns the shares before the ex-date.

Not in its latest year. Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in FY26. It did pay a dividend in 9 of its last 14 reported years, so there is a history but no current dividend.

From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.

Kothari Petrochemicals is not on any of our India lists this week.

Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd earned ₹17.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −5.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹72.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 23.1% a year on average. That is 11.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹18.0 Cr.

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 ₹72.0 Cr (+9.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −9.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +14.8% and revenue −2.7%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd reported ₹146 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −9.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 10.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹591 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹577 Cr.

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

FY26 revenue was ₹591 Cr, +2.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −2.7% on average, against 10.8% 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 −3.0%, against −1.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +12.5%, against +3.7% a year (accelerating).

Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd's operating margin was 15.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 14 years it has been between 3.0% and 16.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

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 +0.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +4.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 3 years, 105% of Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹81.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹72.0 Cr of profit. After ₹18.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹63.0 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 105% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 30 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 4.9× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 30 days in FY26, up from 0 days in FY21. It spent ₹123 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 38 days to pay, and stock sits for 27 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 ₹591 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹1.6 Cr, so roughly ₹49.0 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 38 days to pay and stock sat for 27 days, about 0.9 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 30 days, longer than FY21's 0.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 27 days. Customers pay about 38 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 34 days. Together that makes the 30-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹123 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹25.0 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 ₹8.0 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.

Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd's P/E is 9.9×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 23% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.2×, 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.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.
