Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd earned ₹74.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +37.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹427 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 9.7% a year on average. That is 2.1% of the quarter's revenue.

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

The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹54.0 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹427 Cr (+76.4% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.3 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +57.7% and revenue +18.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd reported ₹3,586 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +6.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 8.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹18,480 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹18,696 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹18,480 Cr, +9.1% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +18.3% on average, against 8.4% 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 +17.5%, against +3.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +56.8%, against +63.1% a year (rolling over).

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's operating margin was 6.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 3.1% and 11.0%. 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 +1.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.4 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 165% of Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 its operations used ₹471 Cr of cash, against ₹427 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 ₹912 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹1,383 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 165% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 39 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 2.7× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 94 days in FY26, up from 55 days in FY21. It spent ₹2,138 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 93 days to pay, and stock sits for 52 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 ₹18,480 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹50.6 Cr, so roughly ₹4,759 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 93 days to pay and stock sat for 52 days, about 1.7 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 94 days, longer than FY21's 55.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 52 days. Customers pay about 93 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 50 days. Together that makes the 94-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹2,138 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹788 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 ₹810 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.

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's P/E is 13.3×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 37% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 20.4×, 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.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹8.09.
