Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
HMVL filed its Q1 FY26 investor presentation alongside parent HT Media. For HMVL standalone, total revenue grew 11% YoY to ₹210 crore, EBITDA more than doubled to ₹18 crore (up 105% YoY), and PAT jumped from ₹1 crore to ₹10 crore YoY. The Print business, which is HMVL's core, saw ad revenue grow 14% YoY supported by strong government spending, while circulation revenue dipped 2%. The Digital segment (Mosaic, Shine, OTTplay) posted 21% YoY revenue growth with narrowing losses. Radio remained a drag, with revenue falling 13% YoY and EBITDA worsening to a ₹7 crore loss. Net cash on the books stood strong at ₹976 crore, up 14% YoY.
Q1 shows a healthy YoY recovery, especially in Print and Digital, but sequential numbers are weak due to seasonal softness, with EBITDA margin falling from 20% in Q4 FY25 to 8%. The strong cash pile and improving core Print business are positives for shareholders, while ongoing Radio weakness and absence of fresh forward guidance may keep the stock rangebound in the near term.
