Sun TV Network 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.

Yes. Sun TV Network Ltd paid out 34% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in each of its last 13 reported years.

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

Sun TV Network is on 3 of our India lists: Momentum stocks, Dividend stocks and Small & mid cap stocks.

Sun TV Network Ltd earned ₹365 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +2.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,441 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 4.6% a year on average. That is 38.8% 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 ₹355 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹1,441 Cr (−15.4% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −27.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved −10.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −7.2% and revenue −4.3%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace.

Sun TV Network Ltd reported ₹940 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, −27.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 5.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,335 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,143 Cr.

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

FY26 revenue was ₹4,335 Cr, +7.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −4.3% on average, against 5.8% 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 −5.0%, against +0.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −4.9%, against −8.5% a year (accelerating).

Sun TV Network Ltd's operating margin was 48.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 10.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 49.0% and 70.0%. The latest quarter is below 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 −10.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 111% of Sun TV Network Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,802 Cr of operating cash against ₹1,441 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 ₹2,226 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹424 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 111% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 44 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 1.9× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Sun TV Network Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 121 days in FY26, down from 165 days in FY21. It spent ₹3,362 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.

At FY26 sales of ₹4,335 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹11.9 Cr, so roughly ₹1,437 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

Spending on assets: ₹3,362 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹1,796 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 ₹888 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.

Sun TV Network Ltd's P/E is 14.9×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 57% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 14.2×, 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 ₹39.05.
