Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd (HMVL) is currently trading at 82.31 per share. Stock prices fluctuate during market hours on NSE and BSE based on demand, company updates, and overall market conditions. Refer to the live price chart above for the most recent price movement.
Hindustan Media Ventures Limited publishes the Hindi daily 'Hindustan', operates associated magazines and supplements, runs the OTT platform OTT Play and offers event solutions; the company is majority held by HT Media, prints at 17 locations with circa 0.78 million copies per hour capacity, and targets a c.9.9 million readership concentrated in key Hindi-speaking states. In Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue grew about 15% to INR 497 crore, EBITDA expanded nearly threefold to INR 90 crore with a 12 percentage point margin improvement, PAT improved to INR 47 crore and consolidated net cash stood at INR 922 crore, driven by print advertising strength and treasury gains reported during the quarter. Print remains the anchor: operating revenue for the print business was INR 376 crore, advertising revenue rose 15% to INR 295 crore and print operating EBITDA was INR 50 crore at a 13% margin; management emphasised yield improvement and disciplined cost controls despite elevated newsprint prices and a weaker rupee posing margin risk. Digital revenues were deliberately reset and declined about 28%, with operating EBITDA at a negative INR 3 crore as management prioritised a leaner, profitable digital portfolio; Radio revenue was broadly steady but is operating on a leaner footprint after surrendering non-viable licenses to improve sustainability. Management disclosed a group-level preferential issuance discussion to raise capital faster than a rights issue, with SEBI-formula pricing and intentions to retire material debt in indebted group entities; that plan generated investor debate around dilution, valuation and governance despite consolidated cash balances reported for the group.
