Sun TV Network Ltd
SUNTVSun TV Network Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
The sharpest disagreement: Domestic institutions moved +3.1 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.
The price is in a downtrend (10 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 38th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −37.5% year on year, and 111% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Sun TV Network Ltd trades at ₹509, in a downtrend and 10 weeks into that stage. That is −8.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 14% of a 52-week range of ₹487 to ₹648. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (17 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 10 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹509 it trades −8.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 14% of its 52-week range (₹487–₹648).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +59% while the NIFTY 500 moved +282% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (17 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-05-08) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.
Sun TV Network Ltd trades at 13.4× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (38th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 14.3×, measured across 10.4 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 13.4× is mid-range by its own standards (38th percentile), against a long-run median of 14.3× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −15.5% against a −9.3% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the −2.6%/yr price move, ~−0.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−2.2 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +1.3%/yr price move, ~+6.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−5.4 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.
Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: Deteriorating Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Sun TV Network Ltd reads as deteriorating on its fundamental arc. Deteriorating — profit and EPS growth are shrinking (profit growth −15.5% latest against +12.9% at its 12-quarter best), ROCE slipping at 15.9%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
🚨 Why it matters: falling curves mean every cheap-looking ratio below needs a discount for direction.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +8.0% | +4.7% | +6.4% | +5.8% |
| Profit | −15.4% | −5.5% | −1.1% | +4.6% |
| EPS | −15.5% | −5.5% | −1.1% | +4.6% |
| Share price | −9.3% | −2.2% | −2.6% | +1.3% |
4-Factor Sector Score
54.5/100 — rank 6 of 25 in Entertainment & Media · 96% evidence confidence
Sun TV Network Ltd scores 54.5 out of 100 against the 25 companies it is compared with in Entertainment & Media, ranking 6. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.2 + 19.6 + 12.4 + 6.3 = 54.5. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Sun TV Network Ltd reported ₹883 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −6.3% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 5.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,335 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,335 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹4,335 Cr (+8.0% on the year), capping 10 years at 5.8% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹883 Cr, −6.3% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +8.7% growth against the decade's 5.8% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +7.8% over the last 4 quarters against +0.6%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit −15.5% vs −13.5%/yr — stabilising.
Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.
Sun TV Network Ltd's operating margin is 44.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 49.0% to 70.0%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 44.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 49.0%–70.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.3 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.0 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Sun TV Network Ltd earned ₹232 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −37.5% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,441 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 4.6%. That is 26.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹371 Cr.
Mar 26 profit was ₹232 Cr, −37.5% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹1,441 Cr (−15.4%), and the 10-year compound rate is 4.6%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed −6.3% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −16.8% vs revenue +8.7%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.
Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.
Over the last 3 fiscal years 111% of Sun TV Network Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹1,802 Cr of operating cash against ₹1,441 Cr of profit. After ₹2,233 Cr of capital spending, ₹−431 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹1,802 Cr against reported profit of ₹1,441 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−431 Cr after ₹2,233 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 111% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
Why conversion sits at 111%: the cash cycle tightened 44 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.
Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 1.9× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.
Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).
Sun TV Network Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 121 days in FY26, down from 165 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹3,360 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹4,335 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹11.9 Cr, so roughly ₹1,437 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 121 days (an asset-light business — no inventory to speak of) — for a full cycle of 121 days, tighter than FY21's 165.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹4,335 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹11.9 Cr — so the 121-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,437 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹3,360 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹1,794 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹31.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.
Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.
Sun TV Network Ltd earns a ROCE of 17% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +5.6 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 33.2% net margin on 0.31× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 17%.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 33.2% net margin × 0.31× asset turns × 1.09× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.2% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 17.6% − 12.0% = a +5.6 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.
Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.
Sun TV Network Ltd carries total debt of ₹106 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹12,660 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.01 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.01 in FY22 to 0.01 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹106 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹12,660 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.01. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.01 (FY22) to 0.01 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.
Domestic institutions added 3.1 points of Sun TV Network Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 11.3% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −2.1 points over the same window, to 5.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +3.1 points over 8 quarters to 11.3%; Foreign institutions: −2.1 points over 8 quarters to 5.8%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 75.0%.
Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions −2.1 points against domestic institutions +3.1 points over 8 quarters, with promoters holding steady — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Sun TV Network Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. 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 curve the sector itself 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 widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

What could break the Sun TV Network Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: Domestic institutions moved +3.1 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.

Is Sun TV Network Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Sun TV Network Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it. The sharpest open question: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 31 July 2026.
