## Is Kuantum Papers profitable? Kuantum Papers Ltd earned ₹2.2 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −61.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹42.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 5.3% a year on average. That is 0.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹5.8 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹42.0 Cr (−63.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −0.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.1 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −52.0% and revenue +12.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Kuantum Papers make, and is it growing? Kuantum Papers Ltd reported ₹279 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, −0.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 7.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,093 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,173 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹1,093 Cr, −1.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +12.9% on average, against 7.6% 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 +11.7%, against +0.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −49.8%, against −52.4% a year (stabilising). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Kuantum Papers keep? Kuantum Papers Ltd's operating margin was 12.3% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 7.0% and 29.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.5 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Kuantum Papers' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 204% of Kuantum Papers Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹219 Cr of operating cash against ₹42.0 Cr of profit. After ₹391 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹172 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 204% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 32 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. ## Where does Kuantum Papers' cash go? Kuantum Papers Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 83 days in FY26, up from 51 days in FY21. It spent ₹823 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 15 days to pay, and stock sits for 133 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹1,093 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹3.0 Cr, so roughly ₹249 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 15 days to pay and stock sat for 133 days, about 4.4 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 83 days, longer than FY21's 51. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 133 days. Customers pay about 15 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 65 days. Together that makes the 83-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹823 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹167 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 ₹263 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 Kuantum Papers' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Kuantum Papers Ltd's P/E is 17.3×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 85% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 7.9×, 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 −63.6% while the price moved −40.0%. 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 −5.6% a year; about +7.4% a year came from earnings growth and about −13.0 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved +3.1% a year; about −2.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +5.4 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 high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Kuantum Papers business getting better or worse? Kuantum Papers Ltd's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −49.8% in the latest quarter, against +185.5% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 5.3%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Kuantum Papers earn on its capital? Kuantum Papers Ltd earned a ROCE of 5% in FY26. That is up from a low of 0% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 8.6 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 3.8% net margin and 0.46× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 3.8% net margin × 0.46× asset turnover × 1.95× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.4% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.4% − 12.0% = −8.6 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. ## Does Kuantum Papers have too much debt? Kuantum Papers Ltd has total debt of ₹870 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,228 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.71× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.92 in FY22 to 0.71 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Kuantum Papers shareholding pattern? No group of Kuantum Papers Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same period, to 70.3%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters, to 0.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 70.3%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 0.0%. ## How far is Kuantum Papers from balance-sheet trouble? For Kuantum Papers 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 Kuantum Papers rank in its industry? 29.5 out of 100, rank 10 of 11 in Paper, with 90% of the evidence available. Kuantum Papers Ltd scores 29.5 out of 100 against the 11 companies it is compared with in Paper, ranking 10. 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: 10.5 + 8.9 + 8.7 + 1.4 = 29.5. 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 Kuantum Papers compared with? Kuantum Papers ranks 10 of 11 Paper companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 29.5 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.
