Acutaas Chemicals Ltd

543349
Pharma - API & CRAMS

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. +200.8% in a year against EPS +124.5% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +200.8% in a year while annual EPS moved +124.5% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (116 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 75th percentile of its own 5-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +70.5% year on year, and 95% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

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.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd trades at ₹3,619, in a confirmed uptrend and 116 weeks into that stage. That is +51.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 97% of a 52-week range of ₹1,358 to ₹3,695. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 58 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 116 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹3,619 it trades +51.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 97% of its 52-week range (₹1,358–₹3,695).

Jul 26: ₹3,619 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
Sep 21Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4.8 years the stock moved +496% while the NIFTY 500 moved +56% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 58 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.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd trades at 69.1× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (75th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 59.4×, measured across 4.9 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 69.1× is at the pricey end of its own range (75th percentile), against a long-run median of 59.4× measured over 4.9 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 +124.5% against a +200.8% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +83.2%/yr price move, ~+60.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+22.9 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: Mixed

Stage: Mixed 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).

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: profit growth has eased from +228.6% at its peak to +103.7% but is still expanding, ROCE lifting at 32.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 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. Base-effect spikes shown pinned (▲). A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

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

75.9/100 — rank 1 of 24 in Pharma - API & CRAMS · 83% evidence confidence

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd scores 75.9 out of 100 against the 24 companies it is compared with in Pharma - API & CRAMS, ranking 1. Confirmed research leader: earnings, capital efficiency and relative strength agree. Move to management, catalyst and risk diligence.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 32 + 20.3 + 7.3 + 16.3 = 75.9. 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.

05 · Revenue

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

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd reported ₹330 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +59.4% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 9 years it has compounded at 26.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,339 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,462 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +41.7% growth against the decade's 26.6% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +41.0% over the last 4 quarters against +40.6%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +103.7% vs +203.6%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 34.0% this quarter (+9.0 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.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's operating margin is 34.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +9.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 14.0% to 36.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's operating margin is 34.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +9.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 14.0% to 36.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 34.0%, +9.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 14.0%–36.0%, and FY26's 36.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +9.7 pp year on year while gross margin went +4.7 pp — the gain 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 held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +70.5% 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.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd earned ₹75.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +70.5% year on year. It is the 7th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹356 Cr. The 9-year compound rate is 45.7%. That is 22.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹44.0 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +59.4% and the margin +9.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +102.1% vs revenue +41.7%. 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: 95% 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 95% of Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹292 Cr of operating cash against ₹356 Cr of profit. After ₹413 Cr of capital spending, ₹−121 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹292 Cr against reported profit of ₹356 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−121 Cr after ₹413 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 95% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹292 Cr vs profit ₹356 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 10-year window, annual resolution.

Why conversion sits at 95%: the cash cycle stretched 69 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 11.0× 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: ₹867 Cr of building over 3 years.

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).

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 149 days in FY26, up from 80 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹867 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,339 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹3.7 Cr, so roughly ₹547 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 99 days, inventory at 149 days — roughly 4.9 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 149 days, looser than FY21's 80.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 149 days to sell; customers pay about 99 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 99 days — netting out to the 149-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,339 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹3.7 Cr — so the 149-day loop keeps roughly ₹547 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

FY26: a 149-day cash cycle Debtor days, inventory days, payable days and the cash conversion cycle by fiscal year. 10-year window.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹867 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹79.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹332 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 32%.

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.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd earns a ROCE of 32% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 16% in FY24. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 26.6% net margin on 0.67× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 32%, recovered from a FY24 trough of 16% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 26.6% net margin × 0.67× asset turns × 1.20× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 21.4% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; 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 0.02.

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.

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd carries ₹36.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹1,654 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.02. Operating profit covers the interest bill north of 100×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹137 Cr to ₹36.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹867 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

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.

Foreign institutions added 8.7 points of Acutaas Chemicals Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 21.6% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +4.7 points over the same window, to 19.6%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: +8.7 points over 8 quarters to 21.6%; Domestic institutions: +4.7 points over 8 quarters to 19.6%; Promoters: −3.3 points over 8 quarters to 32.7%.

Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (+8.7 points), alongside domestic institutions (+4.7 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

→ 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.

Acutaas Chemicals 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 · Pharma - API & CRAMS 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.

Does Acutaas Chemicals Ltd have too much debt?

No — Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.02, and operating profit covers the interest bill north of 100×. FY26 borrowings were ₹36.0 Cr against equity of ₹1,654 Cr. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's capex?

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd spent ₹867 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY26 alone that was ₹413 Cr, with ₹332 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's cash flow?

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd generated ₹292 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−121 Cr of free cash flow after ₹413 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹356 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's profit real cash?

Yes — over the last 3 fiscal years, 95% of Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹292 Cr against reported profit of ₹356 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.

Where is Acutaas Chemicals Ltd in its business cycle?

Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 36.0%, against a 10-year band of 14.0%–36.0%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran 34.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the Acutaas Chemicals Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +200.8% in a year while annual EPS moved +124.5% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Acutaas Chemicals Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. +200.8% in a year against EPS +124.5% — the market is paying now for delivery later. The sharpest open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
