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

L G Balakrishnan & Bros is on 2 of our India lists: Momentum stocks and Breakout stocks.

L G Balakrishnan & Bros Ltd earned ₹94.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +0.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹319 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 17.1% a year on average. That is 9.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹94.0 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 ₹319 Cr (+5.6% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +20.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +0.2% and revenue +21.1%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

L G Balakrishnan & Bros Ltd reported ₹948 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +20.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 10.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,076 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,379 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹3,076 Cr, +19.3% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +21.1% on average, against 10.1% 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 +21.1%, against +17.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −0.3%, against +6.0% a year (rolling over).

L G Balakrishnan & Bros Ltd's operating margin was 15.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 2.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 12.0% and 19.0%. 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 −1.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.5 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 108% of L G Balakrishnan & Bros Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹332 Cr of operating cash against ₹319 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 ₹409 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹77.0 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 108% 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 3.1× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

L G Balakrishnan & Bros Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 93 days in FY26, up from 31 days in FY21. It spent ₹894 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 48 days to pay, and stock sits for 140 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 ₹3,076 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹8.4 Cr, so roughly ₹784 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 48 days to pay and stock sat for 140 days, about 4.6 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 93 days, longer than FY21's 31.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 140 days. Customers pay about 48 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 95 days. Together that makes the 93-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹894 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹285 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 ₹30.0 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.

L G Balakrishnan & Bros Ltd's P/E is 16.9×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 82% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 14.2×, 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.
