Amounts as the company declared them on the NSE. A dividend goes to whoever owns the shares before the ex-date. 3 of 5 Of the last 5 financial years, years with an NSE dividend record

Yes. National Fertilizer Ltd paid out 24% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in 7 of its last 12 reported years. One of those years shows a negative figure because profit itself was negative. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.)

## Is NFL profitable? National Fertilizer Ltd earned ₹113 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹211 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 0.7% a year on average. That is 2.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹39.0 Cr. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹211 Cr (+14.7% on the year before). On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −64.6% and revenue +24.1%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does NFL make, and is it growing? National Fertilizer Ltd reported ₹4,500 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +27.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 10.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹21,519 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹22,480 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹21,519 Cr, +8.7% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +24.1% on average, against 10.7% 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 +23.3%, against −2.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +136.4%, against +17.6% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does NFL keep? National Fertilizer Ltd's operating margin was 6.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 3.7 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 years it has been between 2.4% and 8.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.4 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is NFL's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 352% of National Fertilizer Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 its operations used ₹1,342 Cr of cash, against ₹211 Cr of profit. After ₹234 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹1,576 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 352% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 17 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: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does NFL's cash go? National Fertilizer Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 81 days in FY26, up from 64 days in FY21. It spent ₹688 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 92 days to pay, and stock sits for 29 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹21,519 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹59.0 Cr, so roughly ₹4,775 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 92 days to pay and stock sat for 29 days, about 1.0 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 81 days, longer than FY21's 64. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 29 days. Customers pay about 92 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 40 days. Together that makes the 81-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹688 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹1,140 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is spending about what it takes to replace what wears out, or less. Work still in progress is ₹161 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is NFL's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? National Fertilizer Ltd's P/E is 8.1×, 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 14.3×, 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 +14.9% while the price moved −36.1%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +1.5% a year; about +60.3% a year came from earnings growth and about −58.8 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved +5.9% a year; about +6.4% a year came from earnings growth and about −0.5 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). 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 low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the NFL business getting better or worse? National Fertilizer Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE falling at 7.4%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does NFL earn on its capital? National Fertilizer Ltd earned a ROCE of 9% in FY26. That is up from a low of 2% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 5.0 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 1.0% net margin and 1.83× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 1.0% net margin × 1.83× asset turnover × 4.13× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.6% 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: 7.0% − 12.0% = −5.0 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. The 7.0% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 6.0%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does NFL have too much debt? National Fertilizer Ltd has total debt of ₹3,964 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,841 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.40× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.52 in FY22 to 1.40 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the NFL shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions cut their stake in National Fertilizer Ltd by 2.5 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 4.8% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +0.1 points over the same period, to 0.5%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: −2.5 points over 8 quarters, to 4.8%; Foreign institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters, to 0.5%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 74.7%. Why the owners changed: domestic institutions drove it (−2.5 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is NFL from balance-sheet trouble? For National Fertilizer 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 NFL rank in its industry? 45.2 out of 100, rank 11 of 15 in Fertilisers, with 81% of the evidence available. National Fertilizer Ltd scores 45.2 out of 100 against the 15 companies it is compared with in Fertilisers, ranking 11. Earnings are strong; relative strength in its sector is -15% and the one-year return is -37.2%. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 23.8 + 6 + 10.9 + 4.5 = 45.2. 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 NFL compared with? NFL ranks 11 of 15 Fertilisers companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 45.2 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.
