State Trading Corporation of India Ltd earned ₹2.8 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −71.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹646 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 43.1% a year on average. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹9.8 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

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

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹646 Cr (+2,384.6% on the year before).

State Trading Corporation of India Ltd reported ₹0.0 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹0.0 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹0.0 Cr. A growth rate over several years is not shown, because there are too few years of figures to work one out properly.

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

Is growth speeding up? Profit over the last 12 months grew +7,972.8%, against +192.2% a year (accelerating).

We do not have a clean operating margin for State Trading Corporation of India Ltd. Its accounts do not report the operating-profit line this section uses, which is common for lenders and holding companies. The other sections show what its filings do report.

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 −1,745.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −38.3 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 3 years State Trading Corporation of India Ltd's operations used more cash than they brought in, so cash conversion was −19%, a gap worth watching. In FY26 it brought in ₹52.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹646 Cr of profit. After ₹0.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹52.0 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: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: it spends almost nothing on new assets, so the cash goes on running the business. The next section shows the spending figures.

State Trading Corporation of India Ltd's customer, stock and supplier day counts come out in the thousands of days on sales this small (₹0.0 Cr in FY26), so no cash-cycle chart is drawn and this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent ₹0.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years.

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.

Spending on assets: ₹0.0 Cr over the last 3 years. Work still in progress is ₹0.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: almost nothing is being spent on new assets, so the cash goes on running the business.

State Trading Corporation of India Ltd's P/E is 15.0×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 27% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 18.1×, over 9.2 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.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +2,407.9% while the price moved −19.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −3.9% a year; about +11.8% a year came from earnings growth and about −15.7 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 low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

State Trading Corporation of India Ltd's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −50.7% at its low to +7972.8%, improving for 4 quarters in a row. This is based on 10 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it.

The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone.

This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the share price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

State Trading Corporation of India Ltd earned a ROCE of 8% in FY26. That is up from a low of −7% in FY21. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a −3,300.0% net margin and 0.00× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it, from shareholders and lenders together. It is the best single test of whether growth adds value or just size.
