RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd
533285RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +84.4% in a year against a −57.5% price move.
The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −318% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.
The price is in a downtrend (13 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 81st percentile of its own 9-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +273.3% year on year, and −318% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.
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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd trades at ₹21.7, in a downtrend and 13 weeks into that stage. That is −47.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 0% of a 52-week range of ₹22 to ₹86. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (22 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 13 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹21.7 it trades −47.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 0% of its 52-week range (₹22–₹86).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +709% while the NIFTY 500 moved +271% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (22 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-02-20) — 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 81st 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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd trades at 38.9× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (81st percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 11.5×, measured across 9.4 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 38.9× is at the pricey end of its own range (81st percentile), against a long-run median of 11.5× measured over 9.4 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 +84.4% against a −57.5% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +45.9%/yr price move, ~+7.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+38.3 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 full 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).
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −60.3% at the trough to +124.9%, a 3-quarter improving streak, ROCE lifting at 7.0%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 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.
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.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +18.5% | −0.3% | +17.6% | +11.8% |
| Profit | +100.0% | −11.0% | +24.6% | — |
| EPS | +84.4% | −15.6% | +20.7% | +30.9% |
| Share price | −57.5% | +57.3% | +45.9% | +21.7% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
42.8/100 — rank 9 of 12 in Construction & Contracting · 72% evidence confidence
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd scores 42.8 out of 100 against the 12 companies it is compared with in Construction & Contracting, ranking 9. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -47.5% and the one-year return is -55%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 22.9 + 10.8 + 9.1 + 0 = 42.8. 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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd reported ₹21.9 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +7.7% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 11.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹128 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹128 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹128 Cr (+18.5% on the year), capping 10 years at 11.8% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹21.9 Cr, +7.7% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +16.6% growth against the decade's 11.8% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +18.6% over the last 4 quarters against +7.6%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +124.9% vs −22.3%/yr — accelerating.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 3.1% this quarter (−1.4 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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd's operating margin is 3.1% in the Mar 26 quarter, −1.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −7.0% to 43.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd's operating margin is 3.1% in the Mar 26 quarter, −1.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −7.0% to 43.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 3.1%, −1.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −7.0%–43.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +287.3 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +273.3% 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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd earned ₹4.3 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +273.3% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹12.0 Cr. That is 19.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹1.2 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹4.3 Cr, +273.3% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹12.0 Cr (+100.0%).
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +7.7% and the margin −1.4 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +143.9% vs revenue +16.6%. 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: −318% 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 −318% of RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−88.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹12.0 Cr of profit. After ₹0.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−88.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹−88.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹12.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−88.0 Cr after ₹0.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −318% 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 −318%: the cash cycle stretched 2,331 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.
Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 2,331 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.
→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 2,389-day cycle, in money terms.
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).
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 2,389 days in FY26, up from 58 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹5.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹128 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.4 Cr, so roughly ₹838 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 176 days, inventory at 2,385 days — roughly 78.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 2,389 days, looser than FY21's 58.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 2,385 days to sell; customers pay about 176 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 171 days — netting out to the 2,389-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹128 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.4 Cr — so the 2,389-day loop keeps roughly ₹838 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹5.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹6.0 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.
→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 7%.
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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd earns a ROCE of 7% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 1% in FY16. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 9.4% net margin on 0.35× asset turns.
FY25 ROCE is 7%, recovered from a FY16 trough of 1% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 9.4% net margin × 0.35× asset turns × 1.39× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 4.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.21.
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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd carries ₹57.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹266 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.21. Operating profit covers the interest bill 2×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹299 Cr to ₹57.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹5.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.
FY26: borrowings of ₹57.0 Cr against equity of ₹266 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.21. Operating profit covers the interest bill 2×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹299 Cr to ₹57.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹5.0 Cr in just the last 3 — the build-out is being paid for out of cash, not debt.
→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Promoters cut 3.9 points over 8 quarters.
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.
Promoters cut 3.9 points of RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 66.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +2.1 points over the same window, to 2.1%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Promoters: −3.9 points over 8 quarters to 66.5%; Foreign institutions: +2.1 points over 8 quarters to 2.1%.
🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−3.9 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (+2.1 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.
→ 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.
RDB Infrastructure and Power 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.
