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. 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. ## How much revenue does RCF make, and is it growing? 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. 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). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does RCF keep? 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. 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. ## Is RCF's profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does RCF's cash go? 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. 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. ## What is RCF's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's P/E is 12.9×, 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. 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +76.5% while the price moved −34.8%. 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 +4.4% a year; about −2.6% a year came from earnings growth and about +7.0 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more); over 10 years the price moved +7.7% a year; about +9.4% a year came from earnings growth and about −1.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). 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 about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the RCF business getting better or worse? Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 8 quarters ago at −76.6% and has recovered to +56.8%, with ROCE rising at 13.7%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## How much does RCF earn on its capital? Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd earned a ROCE of 10% in FY26. That is up from a low of 4% in FY18. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.6 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.3% net margin and 1.11× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 2.3% net margin × 1.11× asset turnover × 3.26× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 8.3% 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: 5.4% − 12.0% = −6.6 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 5.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 7.8%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does RCF have too much debt? Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd has total debt of ₹4,128 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹5,121 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.81× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.77 in FY22 to 0.81 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the RCF shareholding pattern? No group of Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same period, to 75.0%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −0.9 points over 8 quarters, to 1.4%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 75.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 0.3%. ## How far is RCF from balance-sheet trouble? For Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers 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 RCF rank in its industry? 50.6 out of 100, rank 7 of 15 in Fertilisers, with 81% of the evidence available. Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd scores 50.6 out of 100 against the 15 companies it is compared with in Fertilisers, ranking 7. 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: 24.4 + 7.3 + 11.4 + 7.5 = 50.6. 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 RCF compared with? RCF ranks 7 of 15 Fertilisers companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 50.6 out of 100. 1.

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.
