AI summary

Creative Newtech reported strong revenue and profit growth for FY26. Standalone revenue grew 55.7% to Rs 2,55,116 Lakhs while PAT increased 34.3% to Rs 3,434.75 Lakhs. Consolidated revenue rose 52.1% to Rs 2,69,977.25 Lakhs with PAT of Rs 7,029.29 Lakhs, up 32.4%. However, the company reported a significant negative operating cash flow of Rs 25,738.12 Lakhs (vs positive Rs 1,399.61 Lakhs in FY25), driven by sharp increases in trade receivables (Rs 55,138 Lakhs vs Rs 20,871 Lakhs) and inventories (Rs 13,188 Lakhs vs Rs 8,399 Lakhs). Short-term borrowings jumped nearly 5x to Rs 32,425 Lakhs. EPS stood at Rs 22.87 (standalone) and Rs 41.04 (consolidated). The Board also approved appointment of a new CFO and recommended dividend of Re 0.50 per share.

Likely market impact

While profit growth is strong, the sharp negative operating cash flow and heavy reliance on borrowings to fund working capital raise concerns about cash conversion quality. Investors should monitor receivables collection and inventory management.
