Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd earned ₹12.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +140.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹27.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 2.1% a year on average. That is 3.0% 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 ₹5.0 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹27.0 Cr (−32.5% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +7.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +3.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +99.5% and revenue −0.7%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd reported ₹396 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +7.3% 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 9.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,432 Cr.

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

The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,460 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹1,432 Cr, −4.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −0.7% on average, against 9.7% 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 −0.8%, against +0.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +6.3%, against −19.9% a year (accelerating).

Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd's operating margin was 8.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 3.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 6.0% and 14.0%. 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 +2.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +4.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 128% of Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹4.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹27.0 Cr of profit. After ₹4.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹0.0 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 128% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 26 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.

Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 105 days in FY26, up from 79 days in FY21. It spent ₹84.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 24 days to pay, and stock sits for 108 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 ₹1,432 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹3.9 Cr, so roughly ₹412 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 24 days to pay and stock sat for 108 days, about 3.6 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 105 days, longer than FY21's 79.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 108 days. Customers pay about 24 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 27 days. Together that makes the 105-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹84.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹105 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 ₹12.0 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.

Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd's P/E is 14.6×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 60% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.4×, over 10 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.
