Triton Valves Ltd

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Triton Valves Ltd trades at ₹1,144, in a confirmed uptrend and 21 weeks into that stage. That is +26.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 99% of a 52-week range of ₹668 to ₹1,148. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 3 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 21 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,144 it trades +26.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 99% of its 52-week range (₹668–₹1,148).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.2 years the stock moved +365% while the NIFTY 500 moved +252% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 3 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 36th percentile of its own range.

Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.

Triton Valves Ltd trades at 48.2× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (36th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 59.5×, measured across 6.1 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 48.2× is mid-range by its own standards (36th percentile), against a long-run median of 59.5× measured over 6.1 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +77.7% against a +69.3% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +24.5%/yr price move, ~+1.8%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+22.7 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

Stage: Turning around Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Triton Valves Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −3.7% at the trough to +634.7% off a 3-quarter-old trough (single-quarter readings), ROCE lifting at 11.0%. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.

4-Factor Sector Score

59.9/100 — rank 2 of 5 in Auto Ancillaries - Engine Parts · 76% evidence confidence

Triton Valves Ltd scores 59.9 out of 100 against the 5 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Engine Parts, ranking 2. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 27.1 + 5.1 + 8.5 + 19.2 = 59.9. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Triton Valves Ltd reported ₹159 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +11.9% year on year. That is the 7th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 6 years it has compounded at 18.0% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹578 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹578 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹578 Cr (+18.4% on the year), capping 6 years at 18.0% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹159 Cr, +11.9% year on year — the 7th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +18.9% growth against the decade's 18.0% — the current year is running in line with its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +18.4% over the last 4 quarters against +16.2%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +89.8% vs +86.0%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 7.2% this quarter (+1.6 pp YoY).

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Triton Valves Ltd's operating margin is 7.2% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.6 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Triton Valves Ltd's operating margin is 7.2% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.6 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 7.2%, +1.6 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0%–11.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.6 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.8 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +634.7% in the latest quarter.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Triton Valves Ltd earned ₹3.6 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +634.7% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹10.0 Cr. The 6-year compound rate is 12.2%. That is 2.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹0.5 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹3.6 Cr, +634.7% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹10.0 Cr (+100.0%), and the 6-year compound rate is 12.2%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +11.9% and the margin +1.6 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +194.2% vs revenue +18.9%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 167% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 167% of Triton Valves Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹18.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹10.0 Cr of profit. After ₹15.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹3.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹18.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹10.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹3.0 Cr after ₹15.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 167% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

Why conversion sits at 167%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.

Router verdict: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: a 106-day cycle and ₹32.0 Cr of building.

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Triton Valves Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 106 days in FY26, down from 108 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹32.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹578 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.6 Cr, so roughly ₹168 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 48 days, inventory at 104 days — roughly 3.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 106 days, tighter than FY21's 108.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 104 days to sell; customers pay about 48 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 46 days — netting out to the 106-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹578 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.6 Cr — so the 106-day loop keeps roughly ₹168 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹32.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹37.0 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹6.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 11%.

Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

Triton Valves Ltd earns a ROCE of 11% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 1% in FY23. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 1.7% net margin on 1.78× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 11%, recovered from a FY23 trough of 1% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 1.7% net margin × 1.78× asset turns × 2.54× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 7.7% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 1.03.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Triton Valves Ltd carries ₹132 Cr of borrowings against ₹128 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 1.03. Operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹98.0 Cr to ₹132 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹32.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹132 Cr against equity of ₹128 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 1.03. Operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹98.0 Cr to ₹132 Cr while capital spending ran ₹32.0 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: the register is quiet.

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

No holder of Triton Valves Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Foreign institutions moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 0.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −0.2 points over 8 quarters to 46.1%; Foreign institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Triton Valves Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.
