Hardwyn India Ltd

HARDWYN
Trading

Hardwyn India Ltd's multiple sits at its floor because earnings outran a 8× five-year rally — compression born of growth, not neglect. The quarters are still improving, and the P/E sits at the 22nd percentile of its own 3-year range.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 32% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (31 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 22nd percentile of its own 3-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +84.4% year on year, and 32% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

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.

Hardwyn India Ltd trades at ₹15.8, in a confirmed uptrend and 31 weeks into that stage. That is −21.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 25% of a 52-week range of ₹12 to ₹27. 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 confirmed uptrend — week 31 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹15.8 it trades −21.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 25% of its 52-week range (₹12–₹27).

Jul 26: ₹15.8 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
Apr 18Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 8.2 years the stock moved +4,294% while the NIFTY 500 moved +147% — 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 22nd 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.

Hardwyn India Ltd trades at 58.5× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 22% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 90.3×, measured across 2.9 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 58.5× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 22% of the time, against a long-run median of 90.3× measured over 2.9 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: margins are the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

P/E 58.5× vs a 90.3× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 2.9-year window; loss-period spikes above 167× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

22nd percentile of 3y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +17.4% against a +12.4% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the −18.6%/yr price move, ~+12.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−31.0 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: Improving

Stage: Improving 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).

Hardwyn India Ltd reads as improving on its fundamental arc. Improving — EPS growth bottomed 7 quarters ago at −12.0% and has held its recovery at +17.4%, ROCE holding at 5.0%. 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. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

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

49.4/100 — rank 20 of 48 in Trading · 83% evidence confidence

Hardwyn India Ltd scores 49.4 out of 100 against the 48 companies it is compared with in Trading, ranking 20. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 20.4 + 14.5 + 11.7 + 2.8 = 49.4. 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.

Hardwyn India Ltd reported ₹57.1 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +25.2% year on year. That is the 2nd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 8 years it has compounded at 35.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹200 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹200 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +8.5% growth against the decade's 35.1% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +8.3% over the last 4 quarters against +14.3%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +17.5% vs +13.6%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 10.0% this quarter (+3.5 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.

Hardwyn India Ltd's operating margin is 10.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +3.5 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Hardwyn India Ltd's operating margin is 10.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +3.5 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 10.0%, +3.5 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0%–11.0%, and FY26's 11.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +3.5 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.5 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 +84.4% 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.

Hardwyn India Ltd earned ₹3.4 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +84.4% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹13.0 Cr. That is 6.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹1.9 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +25.2% and the margin +3.5 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +52.0% vs revenue +8.5%. 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: 32% 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 32% of Hardwyn India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹7.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹13.0 Cr of profit. After ₹3.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹4.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹7.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹13.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹4.0 Cr after ₹3.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 32% 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 32%: the cash cycle stretched 57 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 57 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 115-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).

Hardwyn India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 115 days in FY26, up from 58 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹9.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹200 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.5 Cr, so roughly ₹63.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 84 days, inventory at 112 days — roughly 3.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 115 days, looser than FY21's 58.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 112 days to sell; customers pay about 84 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 81 days — netting out to the 115-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹200 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.5 Cr — so the 115-day loop keeps roughly ₹63.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹9.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹5.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹3.0 Cr, work-in-progress ₹0.0 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 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 5% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −8.7 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

Hardwyn India Ltd earns a ROCE of 5% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 2% in FY19. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −8.7 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 6.5% net margin on 0.43× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 5%, recovered from a FY19 trough of 2% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 6.5% net margin × 0.43× asset turns × 1.15× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 3.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 3.3% − 12.0% = a −8.7 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.

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.⚠ unverified

Hardwyn India Ltd carries total debt of ₹6.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹412 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.01 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.47 in FY22 to 0.01 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

→ 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.

Hardwyn 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.

Related companies · same sector · Trading 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.

The read comes from the last 12 quarters of growth (revenue growth +8.3% latest, profit growth +17.5% latest, eps growth +17.4% latest) plus the ROCE curve, classified by deterministic rules — a trajectory read, not a buy or sell call — as of 24 July 2026.

Yes — the price is in a confirmed uptrend (week 31 of stage 2), trading −21.9% versus its 200-day average and at 25% of its 52-week range. Price stages cycle base → advance → top → decline, and the stage names where this stock sits in that cycle — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Hardwyn India Ltd beating the market?

Not lately — on a trailing-13-week view Hardwyn India Ltd is currently behind the NIFTY 500 (2 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-03), the same metric the week-by-week ribbon on this page draws. Separately, on the cumulative view: over the last 8.2 years the stock moved +4,294% against the NIFTY 500's +147% — ahead of the index over the full window. — as of 24 July 2026.

Will Hardwyn India Ltd's share price go up?

This page publishes no price forecast for Hardwyn India Ltd. What it measures instead: the share price is ₹15.8, the price is in a confirmed uptrend 31 weeks in. Its P/E of 58.5× sits at the 22nd percentile of its own 3-year range. — as of 24 July 2026.

Who owns Hardwyn India Ltd?

Promoters hold 43.8% of Hardwyn India Ltd, foreign institutions 0.2%, domestic institutions null% and the public 55.5% (latest quarter). No holder moved a full point over the last two years — the register is quiet. — as of 24 July 2026.

Does Hardwyn India Ltd have too much debt?

No — Hardwyn India Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.01, and operating profit covers the interest bill 21×. FY26 borrowings were ₹6.0 Cr against equity of ₹406 Cr. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Hardwyn India Ltd's capex?

Hardwyn India Ltd spent ₹9.0 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 ₹3.0 Cr, with ₹0.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Hardwyn India Ltd's cash flow?

Hardwyn India Ltd generated ₹7.0 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹4.0 Cr of free cash flow after ₹3.0 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹13.0 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Hardwyn India Ltd's profit real cash?

Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, 32% of Hardwyn India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹7.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹13.0 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into the working-capital cycle. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.

Where is Hardwyn India Ltd in its business cycle?

Hardwyn India Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 11.0%, against a 9-year band of 1.0%–11.0%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran 10.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the Hardwyn India Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 32% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch. 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 Hardwyn India Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Hardwyn India Ltd's multiple sits at its floor because earnings outran a 8× five-year rally — compression born of growth, not neglect. The quarters are still improving, and the P/E sits at the 22nd percentile of its own 3-year range. The sharpest open question: whether the cash starts following the profit. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
