Brahmaputra Infrastructure 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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd trades at ₹164, in a confirmed uptrend and 59 weeks into that stage. That is +17.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 41% of a 52-week range of ₹155 to ₹177. On relative strength it has no relative-strength read yet.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 59 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹164 it trades +17.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 41% of its 52-week range (₹155–₹177).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2 months the stock moved −3% while the NIFTY 500 moved +1% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: no trailing-13-week read yet — 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 27th 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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd trades at 8.0× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 27% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 11.1×, measured across 5.8 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 8.0× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 27% of the time, against a long-run median of 11.1× measured over 5.8 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: margins are the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Put together: the multiple is low 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: No read 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).

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 9 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

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.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

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

4-Factor Sector Score

63.8/100 — rank 4 of 13 in Construction - Civil/Turnkey · 68% evidence confidence

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd scores 63.8 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in Construction - Civil/Turnkey, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 22.9 + 15.5 + 13.5 + 11.9 = 63.8. 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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd reported ₹94.0 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −8.7% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 5.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹369 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹370 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹369 Cr (+52.5% on the year), capping 10 years at 5.1% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹94.0 Cr, −8.7% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +95.7% growth against the decade's 5.1% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +50.4% over the last 4 quarters against +29.1%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +106.9% vs +87.9%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 22.0% this quarter (−8.0 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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd's operating margin is 22.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −8.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 3.0% to 24.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 3.0% to 24.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 22.0%, −8.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 3.0%–24.0%, and FY26's 24.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −8.2 pp year on year while gross margin went +3.5 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −31.8% 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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd earned ₹15.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −31.8% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹60.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 50.6%. That is 16.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹22.0 Cr.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: −73% 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 −73% of Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹8.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹60.0 Cr of profit. After ₹21.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−13.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹8.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹60.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−13.0 Cr after ₹21.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −73% 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 −73%: the cash cycle tightened 2,506 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 19.5× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: ₹78.0 Cr of building over 3 years.

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).

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 82 days in FY26, down from 2,588 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹78.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹369 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.0 Cr, so roughly ₹83.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 19 days, inventory at 143 days — roughly 4.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 82 days, tighter than FY21's 2,588.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 143 days to sell; customers pay about 19 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 80 days — netting out to the 82-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹369 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.0 Cr — so the 82-day loop keeps roughly ₹83.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹78.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹4.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 18%.

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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd earns a ROCE of 18% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 4% in FY15. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 16.3% net margin on 0.51× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 18%, recovered from a FY15 trough of 4% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 16.3% net margin × 0.51× asset turns × 2.08× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 17.3% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.37.

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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd carries ₹127 Cr of borrowings against ₹345 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.37. Operating profit covers the interest bill 5×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹314 Cr to ₹127 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹78.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹127 Cr against equity of ₹345 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.37. Operating profit covers the interest bill 5×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹314 Cr to ₹127 Cr while capital spending ran ₹78.0 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: 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 Brahmaputra Infrastructure Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 74.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −0.4 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 74.0%.

→ 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.

Brahmaputra Infrastructure 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.
