₹24.56 cr Q1 net profit, more than double QoQ but down 21% YoY

What's new

Net profit jumped to ₹24.56 cr from ₹11.25 cr in Q4 FY26
Revenue rose to ₹565.10 cr from ₹545.85 cr sequentially
Cable segment loss continues; broadband marginally profitable

Why this matters

The QoQ recovery is welcome, but the YoY decline from ₹31.03 cr shows core business pressure. With a ₹3,201.93 cr DoT notice unresolved, the balance sheet risk stays material.

What we're watching

Resolution of DoT show-cause notice for ₹3,201.93 cr
Trend in broadband profitability, still only marginal
Q2 revenue momentum after modest QoQ growth

The full read

Hathway Cable posted a net profit of ₹24.56 cr for the June quarter, more than double the ₹11.25 cr of Q4 FY26, but below the ₹31.03 cr reported a year ago. Revenue inched up sequentially to ₹565.10 cr. The cable TV business remains in the red; the broadband arm is only marginally profitable. The big overhang is a ₹3,201.93 cr demand from the DoT that the company is contesting with no provision booked. At a market cap of just ₹2,076 cr, that potential liability is existential, but it is not new. The quarter is a routine update: earnings are mixed, the trajectory is unclear, and the material story hasn't changed.
