CIE Automotive India Ltd
CIEINDIACIE Automotive India Ltd is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own 10-year range — the business is moving before the market.
Biggest watch item: the price is already 20 weeks into its uptrend — timing risk, not thesis risk.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (20 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +15.7% year on year, and 127% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.
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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd trades at ₹474, in a confirmed uptrend and 20 weeks into that stage. That is +5.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 84% of a 52-week range of ₹385 to ₹490. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 1 straight week.
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 20 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹474 it trades +5.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 84% of its 52-week range (₹385–₹490).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +188% while the NIFTY 500 moved +280% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 1 straight week — 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 18th 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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd trades at 17.5× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 18% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 23.3×, 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 17.5× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 18% of the time, against a long-run median of 23.3× 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.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +0.1% against a +10.4% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +13.6%/yr price move, ~+23.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−9.4 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +10.0%/yr price move, ~+19.6%/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 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: 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).
CIE Automotive India Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE holding at 14.8% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +4.9% | +2.4% | +9.2% | +5.4% |
| Profit | +0.0% | — | +50.8% | — |
| EPS | +0.1% | — | +50.7% | — |
| Share price | +10.4% | −4.4% | +13.6% | +10.0% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
49.7/100 — rank 12 of 19 in Castings, Forgings & Fastners · 100% evidence confidence
CIE Automotive India Ltd scores 49.7 out of 100 against the 19 companies it is compared with in Castings, Forgings & Fastners, ranking 12. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18.2 + 15.9 + 10 + 5.6 = 49.7. 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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd reported ₹2,621 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +10.6% year on year. That is the 5th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 8.9% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at ₹9,406 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹9,998 Cr.

FY25 revenue came in at ₹9,406 Cr (+4.9% on the year), capping 10 years at 8.9% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹2,621 Cr, +10.6% year on year — the 5th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +12.5% growth against the decade's 8.9% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +12.5% over the last 4 quarters against +4.0%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +14.3% vs −4.5%/yr — accelerating.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 15.0% this quarter (+1.0 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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd's operating margin is 15.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0% to 15.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
CIE Automotive India Ltd's operating margin is 15.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0% to 15.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 15.0%, +1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0%–15.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.6 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.8 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +15.7% 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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd earned ₹236 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +15.7% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was ₹828 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 26.8%. That is 9.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹204 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹236 Cr, +15.7% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY25 printed ₹828 Cr (+0.0%), and the 10-year compound rate is 26.8%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +10.6% and the margin +1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +14.1% vs revenue +12.5%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.
→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 127% 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 127% of CIE Automotive India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was ₹1,258 Cr of operating cash against ₹828 Cr of profit. After ₹765 Cr of capital spending, ₹493 Cr was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of ₹1,258 Cr against reported profit of ₹828 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹493 Cr after ₹765 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 127% 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 127%: the cash cycle tightened 17 days between FY20 and FY25 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.
Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 1.7× 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: ₹1,675 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).
CIE Automotive India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −33 days in FY25, down from −16 days in FY20. Capital spending ran ₹1,675 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY25 sales of ₹9,406 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹25.8 Cr, so roughly ₹−850 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY25: debtors at 24 days, inventory at 86 days — roughly 2.8 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −33 days, tighter than FY20's −16.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 86 days to sell; customers pay about 24 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 143 days — netting out to the −33-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY25 sales of ₹9,406 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹25.8 Cr — so the −33-day loop keeps roughly ₹−850 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹1,675 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹1,011 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹130 Cr (FY25) — 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 15% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +0.8 pp.
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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 0% in Mar 14. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +0.8 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 8.8% net margin on 0.88× asset turns.
FY25 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a Mar 14 trough of 0% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 8.8% net margin × 0.88× asset turns × 1.44× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 12.8% − 12.0% = a +0.8 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. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.
→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.06.
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.
CIE Automotive India Ltd carries total debt of ₹426 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹7,459 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.06 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.29 in FY22 to 0.06 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹426 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹7,459 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.06. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.29 (FY22) to 0.06 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Domestic institutions added 1.2 points over 8 quarters.
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 1.2 points of CIE Automotive India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 20.6% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.1 points over the same window, to 5.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +1.2 points over 8 quarters to 20.6%; Foreign institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 5.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 65.7%.
Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+1.2 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.
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.
CIE Automotive India 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.

What could break the CIE Automotive India Ltd story?
Biggest watch item: the price is already 20 weeks into its uptrend — timing risk, not thesis risk. 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 CIE Automotive India Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: CIE Automotive India Ltd is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own 10-year range — the business is moving before the market. The sharpest open question: the next one or two quarters of delivery. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
