Prime Focus delivered a remarkable financial turnaround in Q4 FY26, posting a consolidated net profit of ₹82.35 crore compared to a net loss of nearly ₹231 crore in the same quarter last year. According to reports from Business Standard, this represents a significant improvement in the post-production and visual effects company's financial performance. Sequentially, the net profit grew more than 16% from the ₹71 crore reported in the third quarter of FY26, demonstrating consistent quarter-on-quarter growth. For the full year FY26, the company achieved a net profit of ₹218.76 crore compared to a net loss of ₹377.11 crore in the previous year.
The company's revenue from operations jumped more than 42% year-on-year to ₹1,375.47 crore during the January-March quarter of FY26, as reported by Business Standard. This substantial revenue growth was a key driver of the overall financial turnaround. The company's operating profit margin (OPM) improved significantly to 35.51% in Q4 FY26 from 24.00% in the year-ago period, indicating enhanced operational efficiency. However, profit before tax and exceptional items declined nearly 29% YoY to ₹87.78 crore in Q4 FY26 from ₹122.83 crore in Q4 FY25, indicating mixed performance metrics despite the strong bottom-line results.
For the full financial year FY26, Prime Focus achieved remarkable growth with revenue rising 30% to ₹4,587.32 crore compared to ₹3,537.91 crore in the previous year, according to Business Standard. The company's annual profit before tax (PBT) increased 114% to ₹358.87 crore from ₹30.56 crore in FY25. The earnings per share (EPS) rose to ₹1.14 in Q4 FY26 from a negative ₹7.70 in the year-ago period, after exceptional items, reflecting the company's ability to manage costs effectively while achieving strong revenue growth across the full year.
Prime Focus has a market capitalisation of more than ₹18,639 crore and has been in focus following reports of actor Ranbir Kapoor investing between ₹15–20 crore in Prime Focus Studio through a preferential issue of shares. As reported by The Economic Times, the company had earlier approved the issuance of over 46 crore shares, with Kapoor among the proposed allottees aiming to acquire about 12.5 lakh shares, although independent verification of the final allotment has not yet been confirmed.
Founded by Namit Malhotra in 1997, Prime Focus has grown into a global leader in visual effects and post-production. Its subsidiary, Double Negative (DNEG), has won multiple Academy Awards for work on films such as TENET, Dune: Part One, and Dune: Part Two, bringing its Oscar tally to eight. According to The Economic Times, the group is also producing Ramayana, a two-part adaptation directed by Nitesh Tiwari and backed by Namit Malhotra, which is being positioned as one of the most ambitious and expensive Indian film projects to date.
