Sun TV Network reports a 16% rise in profit after tax and a 13% revenue increase for the June quarter, leading to an interim dividend of ₹5 per share, signalling strong recovery and investor appeal.
Sun TV Network has declared an interim dividend of ₹5 a share, equal to 100% of face value, as the broadcaster reported stronger quarterly earnings for the three months to June 30, 2026. In a filing, the company said the board approved the payout at its meeting on Monday, alongside results that showed a clear improvement in profitability.
According to the company’s figures, revenue for the quarter rose 13% year on year to ₹1,423.39 crore, while profit after tax increased 16% to ₹611.97 crore. EBITDA, a closely watched measure of operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, climbed 19% to ₹732.99 crore. Advertisement income dipped slightly from a year earlier, but domestic subscription revenue edged higher, helping support the overall top-line gain. LiveMint reported slightly different quarterly figures for revenue and net profit, indicating a separate presentation of the same results set, while still showing a sharp improvement from the previous quarter.
Sun TV Network operates television channels in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bangla, Marathi and Hindi, runs FM radio stations across India and produces films. It also owns cricket franchises including SunRisers Hyderabad, SunRisers Eastern Cape and SunRisers Leeds, as well as the SunNXT streaming platform. The latest dividend adds to the company’s appeal for income-focused investors, coming after a quarter in which both sales and earnings recovered strongly from the previous period.
