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

GOCL Corporation Ltd

GOCLCORP
Lubricants

GOCL Corporation Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 6th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse.

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +868.2% against a +2.1% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (8 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 6th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating, and 1% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have 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. PEG is the exception: the quarterly curve is not drawn at all. PEG asks what is being paid for growth — both sides of that division come from the source that could not be checked, so it is withheld instead of marked.
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.

GOCL Corporation Ltd trades at ₹404, in a confirmed uptrend and 8 weeks into that stage. That is +20.0% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 83% of a 52-week range of ₹236 to ₹438. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 22 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 8 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹404 it trades +20.0% versus its 200-day average and sits at 83% of its 52-week range (₹236–₹438).

Jul 26: ₹404 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
Feb 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +221% 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 22 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 6th 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.

GOCL Corporation Ltd trades at 7.3× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 6% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 24.4×, 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 7.3× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 6% of the time, against a long-run median of 24.4× 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.

6th percentile of 10y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +868.2% against a +2.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +8.0%/yr price move, ~+27.9%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−19.9 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +9.0%/yr price move, ~+28.1%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−19.1 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.

A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — 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.

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).

GOCL Corporation Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — revenue growth is lifting off its trough at −40.0% while eps growth is decelerating from its peak at +868.2% — the curves disagree, so the per-curve reads carry the story. 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.

The latest quarter’s profit carries a one-off item larger than the operating base, so the profit curve is shown but does not vote in 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.

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

51.1/100 — rank 3 of 4 in Lubricants · 78% evidence confidence

GOCL Corporation Ltd scores 51.1 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Lubricants, ranking 3. Price leads the evidence: RS versus the benchmark is 22.4%, but earnings trajectory is weak. Wait for revenue and profit confirmation.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 12.3 + 12.3 + 13 + 13.5 = 51.1. 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.

GOCL Corporation Ltd reported ₹2.0 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −33.3% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at −32.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹10.0 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹9.0 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −37.9% growth against the decade's −32.2% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −40.0% over the last 4 quarters against −88.5%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +875.6% vs +463.1%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: −348.0% this quarter (−179.0 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.

GOCL Corporation Ltd's operating margin is −348.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −179.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −322.0% to 8.0%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.

GOCL Corporation Ltd's operating margin is −348.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −179.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −322.0% to 8.0%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is −348.0%, −179.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −322.0%–8.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −179.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +13.5 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +226.1% 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.

GOCL Corporation Ltd earned ₹75.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter. That quarter carries a one-off item larger than its own revenue, so the year-on-year figure is an artefact rather than a trading result. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,522 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 49.7%. That is 3,750.0% of the quarter's revenue.

GOCL Corporation Ltd earned ₹75.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter. That quarter carries a one-off item larger than its own revenue, so the year-on-year figure is an artefact rather than a trading result. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,522 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 49.7%. That is 3,750.0% of the quarter's revenue.

Mar 26 profit was ₹75.0 Cr, +226.1% year on year — the 6th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹1,522 Cr (+869.4%), and the 10-year compound rate is 49.7%.

🚨 Read this profit with care: at ₹75.0 Cr it is larger than the whole quarter's revenue of ₹2.0 Cr — no operating business earns more than it sells, so this is a one-off item (a debt-to-equity conversion, a tax write-back or an asset sale), not money the business earned. The underlying operations are running at −348.0% operating margin; the year-on-year jump and any P/E built on this number are artefacts of the one-off, not a real earnings turn.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 1% 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 1% of GOCL Corporation Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−34.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹1,522 Cr of profit. After ₹−97.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹63.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−34.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹1,522 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹63.0 Cr after ₹−97.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 1% 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 1%: the cash cycle tightened 8,055 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

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 −7,990-day cycle and ₹−205 Cr of building.

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).

GOCL Corporation Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −7,990 days in FY26, down from 65 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹−205 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹10.0 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.0 Cr, so roughly ₹−219 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 37 days, inventory at 260 days — roughly 8.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −7,990 days, tighter than FY21's 65.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 260 days to sell; customers pay about 37 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 8,287 days — netting out to the −7,990-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹10.0 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.0 Cr — so the −7,990-day loop keeps roughly ₹−219 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

FY26: a −7,990-day cash cycle Debtor days, inventory days, payable days and the cash conversion cycle by fiscal year. 13-year window.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹−205 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹20.0 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹1.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹−97.0 Cr, work-in-progress ₹1.0 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: 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% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −12.9 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.⚠ unverified

GOCL Corporation Ltd earns a ROCE of 13% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 4% in FY15. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −12.9 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 15,220.0% net margin on 0.00× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 13%, recovered from a FY15 trough of 4% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 15,220.0% net margin × 0.00× asset turns × 1.13× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 0.0% 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: −0.9% − 12.0% = a −12.9 pp spread.

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 5.2 points of GOCL Corporation Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 5.3% of the company. Promoters moved −5.0 points over the same window, to 67.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: +5.2 points over 8 quarters to 5.3%; Promoters: −5.0 points over 8 quarters to 67.8%; Domestic institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 1.3%.

Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (+5.2 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (−5.0 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.

GOCL Corporation Ltd: the Z-score reads 4.51. 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 4.51 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 4.51.

Related companies · same sector · Lubricants 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 GOCL Corporation Ltd's capex?

GOCL Corporation Ltd spent ₹−205 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 ₹−97.0 Cr, with ₹1.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the GOCL Corporation Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +868.2% against a +2.1% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery. 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 GOCL Corporation Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: GOCL Corporation Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 6th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse.
