The full read
UFO Moviez just had its best year in recent memory. The company, which runs India's largest in-cinema advertising network across over 3,700 screens, posted consolidated net profit of ₹24.91 crore for the year to March 2026, up from ₹9.56 crore in FY25. Annual revenue grew 14% to ₹482 crore. The fourth quarter was the clear driver. Revenue jumped 43% to ₹133.22 crore, driven by a mix of higher ad-share revenue and equipment sales, swinging the quarter from a ₹0.71 crore loss to a ₹4.48 crore profit.
