Fractal Analytics Ltd

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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd trades at ₹787, in a confirmed uptrend and 12 weeks into that stage. That is −10.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 0% of a 52-week range of ₹787 to ₹1,072. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (7 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 12 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹787 it trades −10.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 0% of its 52-week range (₹787–₹1,072).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4 months the stock moved −5% while the NIFTY 500 moved +1% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (7 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-19) — 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 52nd 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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd trades at 40.7× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (52nd percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 20.8×, measured across 0.4 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 40.7× is mid-range by its own standards (52nd percentile), against a long-run median of 20.8× measured over 0.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

The PEG ratio, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 7.3% on reported income across 5 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ 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: No read 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).

Fractal Analytics Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 4 quarters across 1 curve, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

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.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.

4-Factor Sector Score

53.6/100 — rank 5 of 6 in IT Enabled Services/Business Process Outsourcing · 39% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers

Fractal Analytics Ltd scores 53.6 out of 100 against the 6 companies it is compared with in IT Enabled Services/Business Process Outsourcing, ranking 5. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 19.7 + 13 + 10.9 + 10 = 53.6. 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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd reported ₹912 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +20.0% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 6 years it has compounded at 27.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,300 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,450 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹3,300 Cr (+19.3% on the year), capping 6 years at 27.5% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹912 Cr, +20.0% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +19.2% growth against the decade's 27.5% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 13.0% this quarter (+2.0 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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −6.0% to 13.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.0%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −6.0%–13.0%, and FY26's 13.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.5 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.0 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 +89.5% 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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd earned ₹72.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +89.5% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹287 Cr. That is 7.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹38.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹72.0 Cr, +89.5% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹287 Cr (+29.9%).

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +20.0% and the margin +2.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +68.4% vs revenue +19.2%. 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: 110% 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 110% of Fractal Analytics Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹409 Cr of operating cash against ₹287 Cr of profit. After ₹235 Cr of capital spending, ₹174 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹409 Cr against reported profit of ₹287 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹174 Cr after ₹235 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 110% 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 110%: the cash cycle stretched 20 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: a 79-day cycle and ₹114 Cr of building.

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).

Fractal Analytics Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 79 days in FY26, up from 59 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹114 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹3,300 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹9.0 Cr, so roughly ₹714 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 79 days (an asset-light business — no inventory to speak of) — for a full cycle of 79 days, looser than FY21's 59.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹3,300 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹9.0 Cr — so the 79-day loop keeps roughly ₹714 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹114 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹321 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 13%.

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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd earns a ROCE of 13% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −12% in FY22. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 8.7% net margin on 0.75× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 13%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −12% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 8.7% net margin × 0.75× asset turns × 1.38× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 9.0% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 7.3% on reported income across 5 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.13.

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.

Fractal Analytics Ltd carries ₹418 Cr of borrowings against ₹3,185 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.13. Operating profit covers the interest bill 9×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹315 Cr to ₹418 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹114 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹418 Cr against equity of ₹3,185 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.13. Operating profit covers the interest bill 9×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹315 Cr to ₹418 Cr while capital spending ran ₹114 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 7.3% on reported income across 5 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: the register is quiet.

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.

No holder of Fractal Analytics Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

→ 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.

Fractal Analytics 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.
