The Sandesh Limited's board approved standalone and consolidated unaudited financial results for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025). Standalone revenue from operations came in at Rs. 7,289.86 lakhs, slightly lower than Rs. 7,536.13 lakhs in Q1 FY25. Profit before tax was Rs. 2,062.93 lakhs (vs Rs. 2,327.27 lakhs YoY), but profit after tax rose to Rs. 1,605.52 lakhs from Rs. 1,367.81 lakhs, helped by lower tax outflow and a small Rs. 24.54 lakh exceptional gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. EPS stood at Rs. 12.91 vs Rs. 11.07. The board fixed August 22, 2025 as the record date for the final dividend of Rs. 2.50 per share (recommended for FY25). Mr. Hardik Joshi was appointed as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Smt. Pannaben F. Patel was re-appointed as a non-executive director, and the continuation of Chairman & MD Shri Falgunbhai C. Patel beyond age 70 was approved, subject to shareholder nod. Auditor Manubhai & Shah LLP issued an unqualified review report.
Mixed signals for shareholders: PAT growth of about 17% YoY is positive, but a mild revenue dip and PBT compression suggest margin pressure in the core media business. The Rs. 2.50 final dividend (subject to AGM approval) offers steady income, while key leadership appointments signal continuity. Stock may react neutrally to modestly weak top-line but stronger bottom-line.
