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

Three changes stood out: best operating margin in 16 quarters, profit up on a year earlier for 8 quarters in a row and indian funds and insurers (DIIs) raised their stake for 3 quarters in a row.

1. Best operating margin in 16 quarters

   Operating margin was 32% in the September 2026 quarter, against 12% a year earlier.

   Why: Margins rose because the company used more of its factory capacity and sold a better mix of products and customers, with more high value optical connectivity sales.

   Next results: check whether the margin holds at or above the Q2 level as management expects, with product mix and capacity use carrying through.

   From the earnings call on 23 Oct 2026.

2. Profit up on a year earlier for 8 quarters in a row

   In the September 2026 quarter profit was ₹517 crore, +12825% on a year earlier.

   Why: Profit rose because the company had its highest ever quarterly revenue and EBITDA, helped by more use of capacity and a higher value mix.

   Next results: check whether scheduled orders turn into revenue as planned and whether the margin holds.

   From the earnings call on 23 Oct 2026.

3. Indian funds and insurers (DIIs) raised their stake for 3 quarters in a row

   From 10.8% to 13.7% of the company by the September 2026 quarter.

Sterlite Technologies 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. The record date is the same day as the ex-date for every payment here.

Not in its latest year. Sterlite Technologies Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in FY26. It did pay a dividend in 8 of its last 13 reported years, so there is a history but no current dividend.

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

Sterlite Technologies Ltd earned ₹517 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +12,825.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹56.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown −10.0% a year on average. That is 20.4% 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 ₹4.0 Cr. 7 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Sterlite Technologies Ltd reported ₹2,529 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +144.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 8.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,745 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹7,137 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹4,745 Cr, +18.7% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +73.8% on average, against 8.3% 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 +73.9%, against +31.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating).

Sterlite Technologies Ltd's operating margin was 32.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 20.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 10.0% and 23.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

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 +19.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +7.2 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, 584% of Sterlite Technologies Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹520 Cr of operating cash against ₹56.0 Cr of profit. After ₹352 Cr of spending on assets, ₹168 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 584% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 107 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: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets.

Sterlite Technologies Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 16 days in FY26, up from −91 days in FY21. It spent ₹558 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 82 days to pay, and stock sits for 139 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 ₹4,745 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹13.0 Cr, so roughly ₹208 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 82 days to pay and stock sat for 139 days, about 4.6 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 16 days, longer than FY21's −91.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 139 days. Customers pay about 82 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 204 days. Together that makes the 16-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹558 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹943 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is spending about what it takes to replace what wears out, or less. Work still in progress is ₹19.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean.

Sterlite Technologies Ltd's P/E is 54.8×, about the highest it has ever been. 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.

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 Sep 2026 add up to ₹14.96.
