Sector Alpha — machine-written from the numbers · Data as of 2026-07-24

Bharat Bijlee Ltd

BBL
Capital Goods - Transformers

Bharat Bijlee Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.

The sharpest disagreement: Foreign institutions moved +2.2 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.

The price is in a downtrend (1 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 54th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −22.0% year on year, and 84% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour.

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.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd trades at ₹2,668, in a downtrend and 1 weeks into that stage. That is −3.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 46% of a 52-week range of ₹2,135 to ₹3,300. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (2 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 1 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹2,668 it trades −3.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 46% of its 52-week range (₹2,135–₹3,300).

Jul 26: ₹2,668 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.

Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +615% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (2 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-03) — 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 54th 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.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd trades at 23.7× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (54th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 23.1×, measured across 10.3 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 23.7× is mid-range by its own standards (54th percentile), against a long-run median of 23.1× measured over 10.3 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

PEG 1.12 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock.

not derivable — 3-year earnings growth unavailable

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −10.1% against a −20.3% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +31.2%/yr price move, ~+35.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−4.5 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +18.8%/yr price move, ~+28.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−9.6 pp from the multiple (compressing). 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.

03 · Stage: Deteriorating

Stage: Deteriorating 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).

Bharat Bijlee Ltd reads as deteriorating on its fundamental arc. Deteriorating — profit and EPS growth are shrinking (profit growth −10.4% latest against +68.9% at its 12-quarter best), ROCE holding at 8.2%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full 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. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

34.8/100 — rank 9 of 12 in Capital Goods - Transformers · 96% evidence confidence

Bharat Bijlee Ltd scores 34.8 out of 100 against the 12 companies it is compared with in Capital Goods - Transformers, ranking 9. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.5 + 7.6 + 7.8 + 2.9 = 34.8. 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.

05 · Revenue

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

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +19.6% growth against the decade's 13.6% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +19.5% over the last 4 quarters against +10.2%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit −10.4% vs −4.7%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 7.0% this quarter (−3.0 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.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd's operating margin is 7.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −3.0% to 9.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 7.0%, −3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −3.0%–9.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −3.0 pp year on year while gross margin went −4.6 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −22.0% 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.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd earned ₹39.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −22.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹120 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 32.9%. That is 5.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹50.0 Cr.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +23.9% and the margin −3.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +0.8% vs revenue +19.6%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 84% 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 84% of Bharat Bijlee Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹−92.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹120 Cr of profit. After ₹107 Cr of capital spending, ₹−199 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−92.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹120 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−199 Cr after ₹107 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 84% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹−92.0 Cr vs profit ₹120 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 11-year window, annual resolution.

206%127%49%−30%−109%%−77%FY16FY21FY26

Why conversion sits at 84%: the cash cycle tightened 58 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 3.1× 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: ₹174 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).

Bharat Bijlee Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 120 days in FY26, down from 178 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹174 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹2,274 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹6.2 Cr, so roughly ₹748 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 93 days, inventory at 107 days — roughly 3.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 120 days, tighter than FY21's 178.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 107 days to sell; customers pay about 93 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 79 days — netting out to the 120-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹2,274 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹6.2 Cr — so the 120-day loop keeps roughly ₹748 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹174 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹56.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹83.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹107 Cr, work-in-progress ₹83.0 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 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 8% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −7.1 pp.

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.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd earns a ROCE of 8% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −3% in FY15. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −7.1 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 5.3% net margin on 0.73× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 8%, recovered from a FY15 trough of −3% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.3% net margin × 0.73× asset turns × 1.53× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 5.9% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 4.9% − 12.0% = a −7.1 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

FY26: ROCE 8% Return on capital employed by fiscal year, % (line); ROIC by fiscal year, % (line). 13-year window, dips included. Dashed line = the 12.0% cost of capital used on this page.

11 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd carries total debt of ₹307 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,029 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.15 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.26 in FY22 to 0.15 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹307 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,029 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.15. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.26 (FY22) to 0.15 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

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.

Domestic institutions added 2.9 points of Bharat Bijlee Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 15.6% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +2.2 points over the same window, to 5.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +2.9 points over 8 quarters to 15.6%; Foreign institutions: +2.2 points over 8 quarters to 5.8%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 33.6%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+2.9 points), alongside foreign institutions (+2.2 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.

Bharat Bijlee Ltd: the Z-score reads 3.22. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.22 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 3.22.

Related companies · same sector · Capital Goods - Transformers 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.

What is Bharat Bijlee Ltd's capex?

Bharat Bijlee Ltd spent ₹174 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 ₹107 Cr, with ₹83.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the Bharat Bijlee Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: Foreign institutions moved +2.2 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced. 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 Bharat Bijlee Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Bharat Bijlee Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it. The sharpest open question: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
