Quint Digital revenue jumps 155% as its media-tech pivot matures
The company’s digital news business is now a single-digit revenue contributor after a year of heavy growth in media-tech and AI.
What's new
- Consolidated revenue reached ₹81.23 cr, climbing 155% year-on-year.
- A ₹121.87 cr mark-to-market gain from a 14.59% stake in Lee Enterprises boosted bottom-line figures.
- Quint Digital launched Time Out India and targeted a New Delhi market opening for late FY27.
Why it matters
The company’s pivot from a digital news house to a tech-platform business has reached its intended scale. With legacy news now accounting for less than 10% of revenue, the firm is successfully trading on higher-margin tech metrics rather than the volatile ad-spend cycles of traditional publishing.
What we're watching
- Execution of the Time Out Market in New Delhi during H2 FY27.
- Stability of the ₹121.87 cr unrealized gain on the Lee Enterprises investment.
- Growth rates of Quintype and ListenFirst Media as stand-alone revenue drivers.
The full read
Quint Digital has completed its structural shift from a news publisher into a media-tech and AI platform. FY26 consolidated revenue reached ₹81.23 crore, marking a 155% increase over the prior year, while net profit rose 225% to ₹41.55 crore. Much of this financial performance relies on the company’s tech-heavy business units, including Quintype and ListenFirst Media, which have effectively sidelined the legacy news operations. Beyond the operational results, the bottom line caught a lift from a ₹121.87 crore mark-to-market gain on a 14.59% stake in Lee Enterprises. With the core pivot now finished, the firm is expanding into experiential assets, evidenced by the recent launch of Time Out India and the planned Q3/Q4 opening of a Time Out Market in New Delhi. The numbers appear strong, but they follow prior board disclosures, suggesting the market has already digested the transition phase. Growth from here hinges on scaling its AI and market-based platforms.
