Textiles - Readymade Apparel

SBC Exports Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. +134.1% in a year against EPS +25.0% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −264% 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 confirmed uptrend (31 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 75th percentile of its own 7-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +181.0% year on year, and −264% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified.
01 · Price story

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.

SBC Exports Ltd trades at ₹32.3, in a confirmed uptrend and 31 weeks into that stage. That is +32.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹12 to ₹32. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 39 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 31 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹32.3 it trades +32.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹12–₹32).

Mar 26: ₹32.3 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Jul 19Mar 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 6.7 years the stock moved +5,887% while the NIFTY 500 moved +139% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 39 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 75th percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

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.

SBC Exports Ltd trades at 58.3× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (75th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 46.5×, measured across 6.7 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 58.3× is at the pricey end of its own range (75th percentile), against a long-run median of 46.5× measured over 6.7 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 +25.0% against a +134.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +104.2%/yr price move, ~+94.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+9.5 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.

03 · Stage: Turning around

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).

SBC Exports Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −4.9% at the trough to +181.0% off a 2-quarter-old trough (single-quarter readings), ROCE slipping at 16.0%. The read is built from 9 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

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.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

No sector-relative score — SBC Exports Ltd is not present in the sector comparison for Textiles - Readymade Apparel.

The score is a rank WITHIN a peer set: every metric is scored by percentile against the other members. Without the peer set there is no score to state, so none is invented here.

05 · Revenue

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

SBC Exports Ltd reported ₹70.5 Cr of revenue in the Dec 25 quarter, +40.9% year on year. That is the 7th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 30.6% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at ₹231 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹273 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +25.8% growth against the decade's 30.6% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +24.9% over the last 4 quarters against +18.8%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +55.8% vs +47.6%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 13.9% this quarter (+10.8 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

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.

SBC Exports Ltd's operating margin is 13.9% in the Dec 25 quarter, +10.8 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 0.0% to 9.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

SBC Exports Ltd's operating margin is 13.9% in the Dec 25 quarter, +10.8 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 0.0% to 9.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.9%, +10.8 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 0.0%–9.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +10.8 pp year on year while gross margin went +6.8 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +181.0% in the latest quarter.

07 · Net profit

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

SBC Exports Ltd earned ₹9.4 Cr of net profit in the Dec 25 quarter, +181.0% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was ₹12.0 Cr. That is 13.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹3.4 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +40.9% and the margin +10.8 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +61.5% vs revenue +25.8%. 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: −264% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

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 −264% of SBC Exports Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY25 that was ₹−65.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹12.0 Cr of profit. After ₹4.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−69.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of ₹−65.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹12.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−69.0 Cr after ₹4.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −264% 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 −264%: the cash cycle stretched 177 days between FY20 and FY25 — 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 177 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 206-day cycle, in money terms.

09 · Where the cash goes

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).

SBC Exports Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 206 days in FY25, up from 29 days in FY20. Capital spending ran ₹24.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY25 sales of ₹231 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.6 Cr, so roughly ₹130 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY25: debtors at 134 days, inventory at 168 days — roughly 5.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 206 days, looser than FY20's 29.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 168 days to sell; customers pay about 134 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 96 days — netting out to the 206-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY25 sales of ₹231 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.6 Cr — so the 206-day loop keeps roughly ₹130 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹24.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹3.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹3.0 Cr (FY25) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY25: capex ₹4.0 Cr, work-in-progress ₹3.0 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

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 16%.

10 · Return on capital

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.

SBC Exports Ltd earns a ROCE of 16% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 12% in FY20. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 5.2% net margin on 0.90× asset turns.

FY25 ROCE is 16%, recovered from a FY20 trough of 12% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 5.2% net margin × 0.90× asset turns × 4.65× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 21.8% 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 2.36.

11 · Debt

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.

SBC Exports Ltd carries ₹130 Cr of borrowings against ₹55.0 Cr of equity in FY25, a debt-to-equity of 2.36. Operating profit covers the interest bill 2×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹7.0 Cr to ₹130 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹24.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY25: borrowings of ₹130 Cr against equity of ₹55.0 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 2.36. Operating profit covers the interest bill 2×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹7.0 Cr to ₹130 Cr while capital spending ran ₹24.0 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: Promoters cut 15.6 points over 8 quarters.

12 · Ownership

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 15.6 points of SBC Exports Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 50.4% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +2.0 points over the same window, to 2.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −15.6 points over 8 quarters to 50.4%; Foreign institutions: +2.0 points over 8 quarters to 2.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−15.6 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (+2.0 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −8.0 pts from Mar 23 to Mar 25 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

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

13 · 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.

SBC Exports 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.

Related companies · same sector · Textiles - Readymade Apparel Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.
