DAPS Advertising FY26 income hits Rs 2,271 lakh, profit up
Board recommends Rs 0.25 per share dividend for shareholders
KANPUR: In the fast-paced world of marketing, DAPS Advertising Limited has proven it can sell its own success just as effectively as its clients’ products. Following a comprehensive board meeting on 8th May 2026, the Kanpur-based agency released a suite of financial results that suggest the business is operating at full aperture, outperforming its previous year’s benchmarks across nearly every key metric.
The company’s total income for the financial year ended 31st March 2026 reached a robust Rs 2,271.40 Lakhs, a significant climb from the Rs 1,958.83 Lakhs recorded in 2025. This upward trajectory was mirrored in the profit before tax, which rose to Rs 181.23 Lakhs compared to Rs 158.51 Lakhs the prior year. After accounting for tax expenses of Rs 45.78 Lakhs, DAPS netted a final profit of Rs 135.45 Lakhs. For investors, this translated into an earning per equity share of Rs 2.62, up from Rs 2.29.
The board isn’t just celebrating on paper; they are sharing the gains with shareholders. A final dividend of Rs 0.25 per equity share (on a face value of Rs 10) has been recommended, pending approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. If approved, this will result in a total cash outflow of approximately Rs 12.94 Lakhs.
On the leadership front, the firm opted for continuity by re-appointing Mrs Ratna Tiwari as the Internal Auditor for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. A law graduate and member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), Tiwari is described by the board as a “result-oriented” professional tasked with overseeing company law functions.
The company’s total assets have grown to Rs 2,398.45 Lakhs, supported by trade receivables valued at Rs 947.33 Lakhs. Despite the complexities of the advertising sector, DAPS remains exempt from the compulsory adoption of IND-AS due to its listing on the SME platform, continuing instead with standard Indian Accounting Standards.
For a firm that spends its days making others look good, DAPS Advertising has managed to capture its own best side in the 2026 fiscal year.
