Paramount Communications reported standalone revenue of Rs 1,912.16 Crore for FY2026, up 22.8% from Rs 1,556.66 Crore in FY2025. However, profit after tax declined significantly to Rs 60.24 Crore from Rs 86.72 Crore in the prior year, a drop of about 30.5%. Q4 standalone PAT was Rs 20.52 Crore vs Rs 18.73 Crore in Q4 FY25. The company cited Rs 27.83 Crore in non-recurring other income from keyman insurance maturity. Finance costs nearly doubled to Rs 21.03 Crore, and trade receivables more than doubled to Rs 413.40 Crore. Operating cash flow turned negative at Rs 42 Crore versus positive Rs 102.10 Crore in FY2025. Current borrowings increased sharply to Rs 113.92 Crore from Rs 22.06 Crore.
Despite strong revenue growth, profit declined significantly due to higher finance costs and operating expenses. The sharp increase in working capital requirements and negative operating cash flow may concern investors. The stock could face pressure as earnings quality appears weak despite top-line growth.
