Sunshine Pictures Ltd

SUNSHINE

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer.

Biggest thing to watch: margins are the best this company has ever reported. Every ratio looks better at a record, so the story depends on margins staying high.

The price has been between phases. Over the last four quarters, results have been mixed, and 31% of the last 3 years' profit came in as cash. What will decide it: the next one or two quarters of results.

Figures we could not check: Some figures on this page come from a second data source that we could not check against the main one, because the two do not cover enough of the same periods. They are shown because they are the only figures there are, and every section that uses one is marked unverified.
01 · Price story

Price story A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). The phase helps read everything below.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's share price was ₹454 at the close on 16 October 2026. That is 16.6% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹334 and ₹510, and today it sits 69% of the way up from that low.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the NIFTY 500, and it has been behind for 1 week running.

Oct 26: ₹454, 16.6% above its 200-day average. Weekly closing price (₹) with its 50-day and 200-day averages. The coloured bands show the phase: grey sideways, green rising, amber stalling, red falling. 1-year window.

Week by week since 2026: did it beat the NIFTY 500 over the past 13 weeks? Each square is one week, from 2026 to now (37 weeks). Green means the stock's return over the previous 13 weeks beat the NIFTY 500; red means it trailed. The colour is strongest at a gap of 25 percentage points or more. Grey means there is no reading for that week.
Aug 26Oct 26

Over the last 1 months the share price moved +23% while the NIFTY 500 moved −5%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 15 October 2026. The chart below shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

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

02 · Valuation

Valuation 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.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's P/E is 34.6×, with too little history to compare. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 34.7×, over 0.1 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 34.6× against a usual 34.7×: with too little history to compare P/E, weekly (left scale); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right scale). 0.1-year window. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

too little history to compare

In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

03 · Business trend

Business trend 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.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 4 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps.

Growth year by year: revenue −28.2% in FY26, profit +14.3% Growth on the year before, each year, %: revenue (left scale); net profit and EPS (right scale, because profit growth swings much more). Zero line drawn. Turnaround-year jumps are drawn at the edge (▲).

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

04 · Revenue

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

Sunshine Pictures Ltd reported ₹6.5 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +16,100.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 71.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹74.0 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹74.0 Cr, −28.2% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +16,100.0% on average, against 71.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

05 · Operating margin

Operating margin 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.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's operating margin was 14.5% in the Jun 26 quarter, 1,664.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between −32.0% and 77.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason.

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.

FY26: 77.0%, the highest in a range of −32.0% to 77.0% over 6 years Operating margin each year, % (left line); change on the year before, in percentage points (right line). 6-year window.

06 · Net profit

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

Sunshine Pictures Ltd earned ₹0.3 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹40.0 Cr. That is 3.9% of the quarter's revenue.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹40.0 Cr (+14.3% on the year before).

07 · Cash flow

Cash flow 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.

Over the last 3 years, 31% of Sunshine Pictures Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 its operations used ₹33.0 Cr of cash, against ₹40.0 Cr of profit. After ₹1.0 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was ₹−34.0 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.

FY26: operating cash ₹−33.0 Cr against profit ₹40.0 Cr; 31% of 3 years' profit came in as cash Operating cash flow and net profit each year, ₹ Cr. The line is free cash flow: operating cash minus spending on assets. 6-year window, yearly figures.

146%40%−67%−173%−279%%−83%FY21FY23FY26

🚨 Why 31% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 183 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives. When less than 70% of profit comes in as cash, it is the thing to watch on this page.

What to look at next: less of the profit turns into cash than it should, and the cash cycle is 183 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck.

08 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes 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.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 326 days in FY26, up from 143 days in FY21. It spent ₹3.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years.

At FY26 sales of ₹74.0 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹0.2 Cr, so roughly ₹66.0 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: a 326-day cash cycle, +183 days compared with FY21 Debtor days, inventory days, payable days and the full cash cycle, each year. 6-year window.

35225816368−26days326d172d326d35dFY21FY23FY26

Spending on assets: ₹3.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹8.0 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 ₹0.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

FY26: capex ₹1.0 Cr, work in progress ₹0.0 Cr, steady spending Capital spending each year, ₹ Cr (bars); work in progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending figures are not available for India, so this is yearly.

In short: cash is getting stuck in the daily cycle, so watch the cycle more than the profit.

09 · Return on capital

Return on capital 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.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd earned a ROCE of 41% in FY26. That is up from a low of 10% in FY23. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 54.1% net margin and 0.41× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 54.1% net margin × 0.41× asset turnover × 1.24× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 27.5% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed.

FY26: ROCE 41%, the climb back from FY23's 10% Return on capital employed each year, % (line). 5-year window, low years included. Dashed line = the 12.0% cost of capital used on this page.

10 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Interest cover shows how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low debt and high cover are the safe combination.

Sunshine Pictures Ltd had ₹9.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹145 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.06× its equity. Its operating profit is 29 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹9.0 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹3.0 Cr on assets.

Part of the spending on assets is being paid for with borrowed money.

11 · Ownership

Ownership Who owns the company each quarter: promoters (the founders or controlling owners), foreign institutions, domestic institutions such as mutual funds, and the public. When people close to the business steadily raise their stake, that is worth noticing; a quiet list is also an answer.

No group of Sunshine Pictures Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings.

12 · Balance-sheet safety

Balance-sheet safety The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

For Sunshine Pictures Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date.

Does Sunshine Pictures Ltd pay a dividend?

No. Sunshine Pictures Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in each of its last 6 reported years, so there is no payout history to show. That comes from the filed annual statements, not an estimate (as of 16 October 2026).

How is Sunshine Pictures Ltd performing?

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's latest readings are below. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the NIFTY 500, for 1 week running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 16 October 2026).

Not lately. Over the past 13 weeks Sunshine Pictures Ltd has done worse than the NIFTY 500, for 1 week running; it was last ahead in the week of 2026-10-15. Over the longer run, the last 1 months, the share price moved +23% against −5% for the NIFTY 500, so it is ahead of the index over that period (as of 16 October 2026).

Will Sunshine Pictures Ltd's share price go up?

No. Sunshine Pictures Ltd's debt is 0.06× its equity, and its operating profit is 29 times its interest bill. FY26 borrowings were ₹9.0 Cr against equity of ₹145 Cr. So the returns on this page come from the business, not borrowed money (as of 16 October 2026).

What is Sunshine Pictures Ltd's capex?

Sunshine Pictures Ltd spent ₹3.0 Cr on capital expenditure (new plants, machines and other long-term assets) over the last 3 years, worked out from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. Depreciation over the same years was ₹8.0 Cr (as of 16 October 2026).

What is Sunshine Pictures Ltd's cash flow?

Sunshine Pictures Ltd used ₹33.0 Cr of operating cash in FY26: more cash went out than came in (free cash flow: ₹−34.0 Cr). Operating cash was negative while the company reported a profit of ₹40.0 Cr. Indian companies report cash flow once a year (as of 16 October 2026).

Is Sunshine Pictures Ltd's profit real cash?

Not fully. Over the last 3 years, 31% of Sunshine Pictures Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from operations. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−33.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹40.0 Cr. Most of that cash then goes into the daily operating cycle. These are yearly figures (as of 16 October 2026).

Where is Sunshine Pictures Ltd in its business cycle?

Sunshine Pictures Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 77.0%, against a 6-year range of −32.0% to 77.0%: the top of its range, a record year. When profit is at a record, every ratio looks better than usual, and the story depends on margins staying high. The latest quarter was 14.5%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 16 October 2026).

What could break the Sunshine Pictures Ltd story?

Biggest thing to watch: margins are the best this company has ever reported. Every ratio looks better at a record, so the story depends on margins staying high. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 16 October 2026).

Is Sunshine Pictures Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

What the numbers show: Sunshine Pictures Ltd's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: the next one or two quarters of results. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 16 October 2026).
