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.
