Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers is on one of our India lists: Dividend stocks.

Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd earned ₹5.7 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹248 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown −0.5% a year on average. That is 0.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹7.4 Cr. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

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

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹248 Cr (+6,100.0% on the year before).

Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd reported ₹1,147 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +0.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown 6.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,645 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,649 Cr.

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

FY26 revenue was ₹4,645 Cr, +3.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +4.2% on average, against 6.7% 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 +2.9%, against +1.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising).

Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd's operating margin was 10.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 9.0% and 25.0%. 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 +1.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +2.0 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 345% of Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹596 Cr of operating cash against ₹248 Cr of profit. After ₹513 Cr of spending on assets, ₹83.0 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 345% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 41 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner.

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.

Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −53 days in FY26, down from −12 days in FY21. It spent ₹789 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 48 days to pay, and stock sits for 191 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 ₹4,645 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹12.7 Cr, so roughly −₹674 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 48 days to pay and stock sat for 191 days, about 6.3 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −53 days, shorter than FY21's −12.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 191 days. Customers pay about 48 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 292 days. Together that makes the −53-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹789 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹908 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 ₹473 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.

Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd's P/E is 3.7×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 3% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 8.4×, 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.
