The full read

S Chand's FY26 numbers are a confirmation, not a surprise. Revenue hit ₹7,987 crore, up 11% year-on-year, and net profit rose 21% to ₹731 crore. The EBITDA margin of 18.1% was within the guided band. The 62% jump in digital revenues to ₹318 crore shows the channel shift is gaining pace. The company also completed its first international deal, CPD Singapore, in January. This was a routine earnings release, but management is pointing to the next cycle: the launch of new textbooks for higher classes should drive a growth inflection in FY27-28. The core data was already priced in, but the strategic push into digital and the new syllabus are the two vectors to watch.

The full read

S Chand finished FY26 with a consolidated net profit of ₹731.36 million, up from ₹602.32 million in the prior year. Growth stems from the CPD Singapore acquisition and the divestment of a printing unit rather than the standalone business. Standalone Q4 revenue reached ₹2,058.77 million on seasonal demand, yet full-year standalone profit fell to ₹112.52 million from ₹157.37 million. Management attributes the drop to competitive pricing and new provisions. The company holds ₹8,575 million in equity and ₹459 million in cash. Shareholders get an interim dividend of ₹4 per share. These results track with prior disclosures and seasonal expectations. The path forward remains unchanged.
