Den Networks Shares Crash After Reporting Weak Q4FY26 Results

Synopsis: With both its cable distribution and broadband segments posting operating losses for the full year, DEN Networks Limited’s FY26 consolidated net profit attributable to owners declined 17 percent year-on-year to Rs. 165.77 crore.

The BSE-listed mass media and cable distribution company came into focus on April 14, 2026, after its Board of Directors approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026. 

With a market capitalization of Rs. 1,369.63, the shares of Den Networks were trading at Rs.28.70, down 1.37 percent from its previous close of 29.10. It is trading at a P/E of 8.42

On a consolidated basis, revenue from operations for Q4 FY26 stood at Rs. 240.57 crore, down 3 percent from Rs. 248.10 crore in Q4 FY25. Net profit attributable to owners came in at Rs. 38.40 crore, a sharp 38.2 percent decline from Rs. 62.18 crore in the year-ago quarter. Diluted EPS for the quarter was Rs. 0.81, against Rs. 1.30 a year prior.

Standalone Q4 PAT, however, showed more resilience; Rs. 28.91 crore versus Rs. 23.99 crore in Q4 FY25, a gain of roughly 20.5 percent, helped by tighter cost management and lower employee benefit expenses.

For the full year FY26, consolidated revenue from operations declined 3.1 percent to Rs. 974.28 crore from Rs. 1,005.41 crore in FY25. Consolidated net profit attributable to owners fell to Rs. 165.77 crore from Rs. 200.06 crore, a 17.1 percent drop. Diluted EPS came in at Rs. 3.48 for FY26, against Rs. 4.20 in FY25. On a standalone basis, the full-year picture was relatively steadier: revenue from operations edged up 1.2 percent to Rs. 1,000.92 crore, and standalone PAT rose 4.6 percent to Rs. 122.75 crore from Rs. 117.40 crore.
