Sun TV Network Ltd trades at ₹591.4 as of 2026-11-02 with a market cap of ₹23,674.63 crore and a PE of 15.24x. The company is virtually debt-free with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01, but faces a divergence between steady revenue growth (10-year sales CAGR of 6%) and declining profitability (3-year profit CAGR of -4%), while its ROE has moderated from a 10-year average of 20% to 12% in the last year.

Bull Case 8
  • The company is virtually debt-free with a debt-to-equity ratio of just 0.01, providing significant financial flexibility and insulation from interest rate risks.
  • TTM revenue growth has accelerated to 13%, meaningfully above the 5-year compounded sales growth of 6%, suggesting improving top-line momentum.
  • The stock trades at a PE of 15.24x as of 2026-11-02, which is modest relative to its 10-year average ROE of 20%, indicating the valuation is not stretched on a historical earnings-power basis.
  • The company maintains a healthy dividend payout of 34.4% with a current dividend yield of 1.44%, offering a tangible cash return to shareholders.
  • The stock has delivered a 1-year return CAGR of 13%, outperforming its longer-term 10-year CAGR of 2%, indicating renewed investor interest.
  • ROCE stands at 15.31% as of 2026-11-02, reflecting the company's ability to generate reasonable returns on capital employed even during a period of profit decline.
  • The stock is trading at ₹591.4, approximately 32% above its 52-week low of ₹447.2, showing a meaningful recovery from its trough.
  • A price-to-book ratio of 1.73x is relatively undemanding for a media company with a long operating track record and a 10-year compounded sales growth of 6%.
Bear Case 8
  • TTM profit has declined by 8%, and the 3-year compounded profit growth stands at -4%, indicating a sustained contraction in earnings despite revenue growth.
  • ROE has deteriorated sharply from a 10-year average of 20% to just 12% in the last year, signaling a structural decline in profitability and capital efficiency.
  • The 5-year compounded profit growth is 0%, meaning profits have stagnated over half a decade even as sales grew at 6% compounded, pointing to persistent margin erosion.
  • Five-year compounded sales growth of approximately 6% reflects sluggish top-line expansion for a media business operating in a large and growing market.
  • The current ROE of 11.38% as of 2026-11-02 is well below the 5-year average of 17%, suggesting the business is generating diminishing returns on shareholder equity.
  • The stock trades 12.3% below its 52-week high of ₹673.95, indicating the recent rally has lost momentum and the stock has failed to hold higher levels.
  • The 10-year stock CAGR of just 2% has significantly lagged broader market returns over the same period, reflecting long-term underperformance in shareholder wealth creation.
  • The growing divergence between 13% TTM sales growth and -8% TTM profit decline implies cost pressures or margin headwinds that are absorbing revenue gains.

AI News Digest

19d ago

TL;DR: The only news item is a routine AGM where all resolutions passed, which shows normal governance and continued dividend payouts. It says nothing about operations, ad revenue, subscriptions or valuation, so it doesn't point to any clear positives or risks. The director re-appointment keeps the board under promoter family control as before, with no sign of shareholder pushback. Investors should look to upcoming quarterly results, ad-revenue trends and OTT/IPL franchise performance for a clearer direction.

Neutral 1
  • 41st AGM resolutions passed Sep 18

    Sun TV Network held its 41st AGM on September 18, 2026, where shareholders approved the FY26 financials and the interim dividends. They also re-appointed director Ms. Kaviya Kalanithi Maran.

For AI agents and developers

Reading this as an AI agent, LLM or automated pipeline? Every page on Tapetide is also published as clean Markdown — no navigation, no scripts, just the data. Fetch https://tapetide.com/stocks/SUNTV.md for Sun TV Network Ltd: dated key facts, then this page's sections in order: latest price, key fundamentals, peer comparison, the Tapetide Score, technical indicators, analyst ratings, growth rates, analyst forecasts, the AI analysis and news digest (labelled as AI-generated), financial statements, shareholding pattern, documents and the FAQ.

Append .md to any Tapetide URL for the same treatment. A full index of what we publish is at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt. For live, structured queries instead of documents, use our Indian stock market MCP server.
