The full read
Prime Focus posted a consolidated net profit of ₹302.4 crore for FY26, a reversal from the ₹458.3 crore loss recorded in the previous year. This recovery followed a 30% jump in revenue to ₹4,587.3 crore. The standalone picture is different. The company reported a net loss of ₹2.7 crore on a standalone basis, compared to a profit of ₹185.9 crore in the prior year that included a one-time exceptional gain. Auditors provided an unmodified opinion, yet they flagged the ongoing insolvency proceedings currently before the NCLAT. With legal uncertainty looming, the board opted against a dividend. The company is prioritizing debt reduction and legal resolution over cash returns. The next test is the NCLAT ruling.
