Yes. West Coast Paper Mills Ltd paid out 13% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in 8 of its last 9 reported years. One of those years shows a negative figure because profit itself was negative. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.)

## Which stock lists is West Coast Paper Mills on? West Coast Paper Mills is on one of our India lists: Momentum stocks. [Momentum stocks Market cap cr: 5480.120424305598](https://www.sectoralpha.in/momentum-stocks-india)

## Is West Coast Paper Mills profitable? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd earned ₹142 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +136.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹156 Cr. Over 8 years profit has grown −4.4% a year on average. That is 13.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹60.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹156 Cr (−53.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +10.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved +7.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +2.7% and revenue +7.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does West Coast Paper Mills make, and is it growing? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd reported ₹1,051 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +10.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 8 years it has grown 12.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,279 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,375 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹4,279 Cr, +5.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +7.9% on average, against 12.1% 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 +7.8%, against +1.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −13.1%, against −38.5% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does West Coast Paper Mills keep? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd's operating margin was 19.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 7.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 years it has been between 10.0% and 33.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +7.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +6.6 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is West Coast Paper Mills' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 99% of West Coast Paper Mills Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹400 Cr of operating cash against ₹156 Cr of profit. After ₹422 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹22.0 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. Why 99% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 11 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: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.2× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does West Coast Paper Mills' cash go? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 109 days in FY26, up from 98 days in FY21. It spent ₹1,401 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 33 days to pay, and stock sits for 113 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹4,279 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹11.7 Cr, so roughly ₹1,278 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 33 days to pay and stock sat for 113 days, about 3.7 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 109 days, longer than FY21's 98. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 113 days. Customers pay about 33 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 37 days. Together that makes the 109-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹1,401 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹643 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 ₹290 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. ## What is West Coast Paper Mills' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd's P/E is 23.8×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 93% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 7.7×, over 8.2 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −51.6% while the price moved +83.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +26.7% a year; about +27.4% a year came from earnings growth and about −0.7 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source has, is not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 42% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Is the West Coast Paper Mills business getting better or worse? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −63.9% at its low to −13.1%, improving for 2 quarters in a row, with ROCE falling at 6.0%. This is based on 8 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. 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. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does West Coast Paper Mills earn on its capital? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd earned a ROCE of 6% in FY26. That is up from a low of 2% in FY21. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 3.6% net margin and 0.78× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 3.6% net margin × 0.78× asset turnover × 1.51× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 4.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The quarterly return lines and the return-on-capital-used (ROIC) line, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 42% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does West Coast Paper Mills have too much debt? West Coast Paper Mills Ltd had ₹345 Cr of borrowings against ₹3,608 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.10× its equity. Its operating profit is 10 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹662 Cr to ₹345 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹1,401 Cr on assets. The spending on assets is being paid for from cash, not new debt. The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 42% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## What is the West Coast Paper Mills shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions raised their stake in West Coast Paper Mills Ltd by 6.4 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 14.6% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −3.5 points over the same period, to 2.7%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +6.4 points over 8 quarters, to 14.6%; Foreign institutions: −3.5 points over 8 quarters, to 2.7%; Promoters: +0.4 points over 8 quarters, to 57.0%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −3.5 points and domestic institutions +6.4 points over 8 quarters, while promoters stayed about the same. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company. ## How far is West Coast Paper Mills from balance-sheet trouble? For West Coast Paper Mills 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. ## How does West Coast Paper Mills rank in its industry? 53.5 out of 100, rank 5 of 11 in Paper, with 78% of the evidence available. West Coast Paper Mills Ltd scores 53.5 out of 100 against the 11 companies it is compared with in Paper, ranking 5. Relative strength against the index is 64.1%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 13.7 + 13.8 + 6 + 20 = 53.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is West Coast Paper Mills compared with? West Coast Paper Mills ranks 5 of 11 Paper companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 53.5 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
