Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd compounds quietly. Returns above 15% and growth without drama — priced like it.

Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 76th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (6 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 76th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +19.3% year on year, and 77% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.

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.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd trades at ₹2,614, in a confirmed uptrend and 6 weeks into that stage. That is +28.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹1,558 to ₹2,614. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 17 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 6 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹2,614 it trades +28.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹1,558–₹2,614).

Jul 26: ₹2,614 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.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (547 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the NIFTY 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the NIFTY 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +1,173% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 17 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 76th 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.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd trades at 29.2× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 22.3×, measured across 10.4 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 29.2× is at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile), against a long-run median of 22.3× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 29.2× vs a 22.3× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 10.4-year window; loss-period spikes above 46× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

PEG 0.91 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. Last 12 quarters.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +19.6% against a +24.3% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +30.5%/yr price move, ~+21.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+9.1 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +28.4%/yr price move, ~+26.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+2.1 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: Consistent

Stage: Consistent 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).

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROCE at 24.4% and holding. 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

70.3/100 — rank 3 of 43 in Pharma - Formulators · 96% evidence confidence

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd scores 70.3 out of 100 against the 43 companies it is compared with in Pharma - Formulators, ranking 3. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 20.1 + 19.8 + 12.3 + 18.1 = 70.3. 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 +12.8% growth against the decade's 24.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +12.9% over the last 4 quarters against +13.6%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +20.1% vs +18.7%/yr — stabilising.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 34.0% this quarter (+1.0 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.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd's operating margin is 34.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 21.0% to 36.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd's operating margin is 34.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 21.0% to 36.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 34.0%, +1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 21.0%–36.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.6 pp year on year while gross margin went −0.8 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +19.3% 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.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd earned ₹173 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +19.3% year on year. It is the 12th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹650 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 30.3%. That is 28.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹145 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +19.5% and the margin +1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +20.2% vs revenue +12.8%. 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: 77% 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 77% of Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 that was ₹523 Cr of operating cash against ₹650 Cr of profit. After ₹197 Cr of capital spending, ₹326 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹523 Cr against reported profit of ₹650 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹326 Cr after ₹197 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 77% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹523 Cr vs profit ₹650 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.

Why conversion sits at 77%: the cash cycle stretched 28 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 28 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 194-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).

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 194 days in FY26, up from 166 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹505 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹2,187 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹6.0 Cr, so roughly ₹1,162 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 138 days, inventory at 181 days — roughly 6.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 194 days, looser than FY21's 166.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 181 days to sell; customers pay about 138 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 125 days — netting out to the 194-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹2,187 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹6.0 Cr — so the 194-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,162 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹505 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹192 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹209 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹197 Cr, work-in-progress ₹209 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 25% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +11.1 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.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd earns a ROCE of 25% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +11.1 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 29.7% net margin on 0.54× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 25%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 29.7% net margin × 0.54× asset turns × 1.13× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 18.1% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 23.1% − 12.0% = a +11.1 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.

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.

Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd carries total debt of ₹5.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹3,631 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.00 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.00 in FY22 to 0.00 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than 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.

Foreign institutions added 2.4 points of Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 5.8% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +1.0 points over the same window, to 2.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: +2.4 points over 8 quarters to 5.8%; Domestic institutions: +1.0 points over 8 quarters to 2.5%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 70.6%.

Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (+2.4 points), alongside domestic institutions (+1.0 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.

Caplin Point Laboratories 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 - Formulators 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.

Is Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Caplin Point Laboratories Ltd compounds quietly. Returns above 15% and growth without drama — priced like it.
