## Is Network 18 Media & Investments profitable? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd earned ₹53.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +29.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹155 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 4.9% a year on average. That is 9.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹41.0 Cr. 9 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Network 18 Media & Investments make, and is it growing? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd reported ₹545 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +9.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 3.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹2,121 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,216 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹2,121 Cr, −69.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −7.7% on average, against 3.3% 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 −23.2%, against −50.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Network 18 Media & Investments keep? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd's operating margin was 3.4% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 3.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between −10.0% and 18.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Network 18 Media & Investments' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 127% of Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 its operations used ₹28.0 Cr of cash, against ₹155 Cr of profit. After ₹100 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹128 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 127% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 20 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: it has been selling more assets than it buys. The next section shows those figures. ## Where does Network 18 Media & Investments' cash go? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 119 days in FY26, up from 99 days in FY21. Over the last 3 years it sold more assets than it bought, by ₹1,650 Cr. At FY26 sales of ₹2,121 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹5.8 Cr, so roughly ₹692 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. Over the last 3 years, money from selling assets was ₹1,650 Cr more than it spent on new ones. Work still in progress is ₹2.0 Cr (FY26). In short: assets are being sold, not built, so this cash is not going into new capacity. ## What is Network 18 Media & Investments' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd's P/E is 415.8×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 87% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 126.7×, 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. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −22.0% a year; about −47.2% a year came from earnings growth and about +25.2 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. A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source has, is not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 232% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Is the Network 18 Media & Investments business getting better or worse? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 9 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Network 18 Media & Investments earn on its capital? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd earned a ROCE of 3% in FY26. That is up from a low of −4% in FY15. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 7.3% net margin and 0.24× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 7.3% net margin × 0.24× asset turnover × 1.83× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The quarterly return lines and the return-on-capital-used (ROIC) line, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 232% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does Network 18 Media & Investments have too much debt? Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd had ₹3,288 Cr of borrowings against ₹4,918 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.67× its equity. Its operating profit is 0 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹2,554 Cr to ₹3,288 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it sold more assets than it bought, by ₹1,650 Cr. Part of the spending on assets is being paid for with borrowed money. The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 232% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## What is the Network 18 Media & Investments shareholding pattern? Promoters cut their stake in Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd by 18.1 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Promoters now own 56.9% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +0.4 points over the same period, to 2.8%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: −18.1 points over 8 quarters, to 56.9%; Foreign institutions: +0.4 points over 8 quarters, to 2.8%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 0.1%. Why the owners changed: promoters drove it (−18.1 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Network 18 Media & Investments from balance-sheet trouble? For Network 18 Media & Investments 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 Network 18 Media & Investments rank in its industry? 41.5 out of 100, rank 16 of 25 in Entertainment & Media, with 60% of the evidence available. Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd scores 41.5 out of 100 against the 25 companies it is compared with in Entertainment & Media, ranking 16. 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: 19.4 + 5.7 + 8.7 + 7.7 = 41.5. 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 Network 18 Media & Investments compared with? Network 18 Media & Investments ranks 16 of 25 Entertainment & Media companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 41.5 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.
