This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Two changes stood out: revenue down on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row and operating margin down 4 points on a year earlier.

1. Revenue down on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row

   In the June 2026 quarter revenue was ₹788 crore, -0.8% on a year earlier.

   Why: Sales fell because textbook releases in Maharashtra and Gujarat came late, so publication sales moved into July instead of the June quarter.

   Next results: check whether Q2 revenue reaches about Rs 300 crore, including the publication sales that slipped from June.

   From the earnings call on 29 Jul 2026.

2. Operating margin down 4 points on a year earlier

   25% in the June 2026 quarter, from 29%.

   Why: Margin fell because branding and senior hiring for non-paper stationery hurt profit, and the polymer plant ran at only 30%, leaving overheads underused.

   Next results: check whether stationery margin gets near 12%, since management expects that level.

   From the earnings call on 29 Jul 2026.

Navneet Education 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.

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

On the call for April to June 2026, held on 29 July 2026, Navneet Education's management guided: Publication FY27 revenue growth planned around 10.0%, with confidence to exceed 10.0%; July to September 2026 publication revenue should exceed ₹130 crore versus ₹91 crore in July to September 2025.

“Because the back-to-school season has passed, and material must reach the US by August, that business is effectively lost for the year.”Sunil Gala, Managing Director, on the call for April to June 2026

What management guided

• July to September 2026 total revenue expected near ₹300 crore versus ₹247 crore in July to September 2025, including at least ₹30 crore of deferred publication sales.
• A separate answer cited ₹45-50 crore incremental Q2 publication revenue versus July to September 2025; this does not reconcile with the ₹130 crore answer.
• FY27 stationery growth: domestic 15.0% to 17.0%, exports -5.0%, and overall stationery 8.0% to 10.0%.
• FY27 margins: publication 26.0% to 27.0%; stationery around 12.0% in one answer versus sustainable combined stationery operating margin of 10.0% to 11.0%.

From the call for April to June 2026, 29 July 2026.

When Navneet Education reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: July to September 2026 total revenue near ₹300 crore and publication revenue above ₹130 crore should be checked against the next print, including resolution of the ₹45-50 crore incremental framing.

Navneet Education is on one of our India lists: Dividend stocks.

Navneet Education Ltd earned ₹141 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −10.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹369 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 13.2% a year on average. That is 17.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹157 Cr.

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

3 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹369 Cr (−54.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −0.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved −4.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +374.8% and revenue −5.5%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Navneet Education Ltd reported ₹788 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −0.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 6.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,721 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,715 Cr.

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

FY26 revenue was ₹1,721 Cr, −3.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −5.5% on average, against 6.1% 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 −3.8%, against −1.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +64.2%, against −34.3% a year (accelerating).

Navneet Education Ltd's operating margin was 25.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 4.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 8.0% and 25.0%. 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 −3.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.5 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, 52% of Navneet Education Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 it brought in ₹307 Cr of operating cash against ₹369 Cr of profit. After ₹124 Cr of spending on assets, ₹183 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 52% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 61 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner. When less than 70% of profit comes in as cash, it is the thing to watch on this page.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 1.9× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Navneet Education Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 330 days in FY26, down from 391 days in FY21. It spent ₹397 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 71 days to pay, and stock sits for 296 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 ₹1,721 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹4.7 Cr, so roughly ₹1,556 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 71 days to pay and stock sat for 296 days, about 9.7 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 330 days, shorter than FY21's 391.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 296 days. Customers pay about 71 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 38 days. Together that makes the 330-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹397 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹210 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 ₹38.0 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.

Navneet Education Ltd's P/E is 22.3×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 65% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 19.7×, 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.
