Q4 mein Network18 ka Number Check Karo!
Network18 Media & Investments Ltd ne haal hi mein apne Q4 FY26 ke results announce kiye hain. Sabse pehle numbers dekho toh, company ko ₹29.61 Crore ka net loss hua hai. Ye pichhle saal ke ₹29.09 Crore ke loss se thoda zyada hai. Lekin, ek achhi baat yeh hai ki inka revenue 9.7% badhkar ₹615.78 Crore ho gaya hai.
Is revenue growth ke peeche ka main reason hai ad inventory ka badhna. Company ne apni ad inventory ko 4.5% badhaya, jabki overall TV news ad market 10% gir raha tha. New business ventures ne bhi kam aati hui advertising ko thoda sambhala.
Operating EBITDA ki baat karein toh woh ₹30 Crore raha, jismein margin 4.9% tha. Matlab profit toh aa raha hai, par margins abhi bhi tight hain.
Media Market Ka Scene Kya Hai?
Indian media aur entertainment sector mein bade changes aa rahe hain. Saara naya ad ka paisa digital mein jaa raha hai. Estimates ke mutabik, Indian ad market 2026 tak ₹2 Lakh Crore ka ho jayega, aur iska 68.1% hissa digital se aayega. Traditional TV ad revenue 10% se zyada gir gaya hai, aur subscription se bhi income 8% kam hui hai.
Network18 ke digital platforms kaafi strong hain, jahan monthly 360 Million se zyada users aate hain. Yeh trend unke liye faydemand ho sakta hai. Lekin Zee Entertainment aur TV Today Network jaise competitors bhi digital mein zor laga rahe hain.
Profitability Aur Valuation Ki Chinta
Revenue toh badh raha hai, par lagatar ho raha net loss investors ke liye chinta ka vishay hai. Operating expenses bhi 6.47% badhkar ₹670.89 Crore ho gaye, jo EBITDA se zyada tezi se badhe hain, aur isi wajah se loss ho raha hai.
Stock ka performance bhi theek nahi raha hai. Pichhle ek saal mein stock 19.48% gir chuka hai, jo market mein caution dikhata hai. Shareholder capital bhi efficiently use nahi ho raha, jiska proof hai negative -9.29% Return on Equity (ROE).
Analyst bhi is stock ko lekar mix views de rahe hain. Kuch technical indicators mein upside dikh raha hai, par overall sentiment abhi bhi cautious hai. Asal mein, revenue growth ko sustainable profit mein badalna Network18 ke liye sabse bada challenge hoga.
