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

Indoco Remedies Ltd

INDOCO
Pharma - Formulators

Indoco Remedies Ltd is strength at full price. The numbers are improving — and a P/E at the 98th percentile of its own range says the market knows.

The sharpest disagreement: the engine is strong, but at the 98th percentile of its own range you are paying full price for it.

The price is in a downtrend (37 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 98th percentile of its own 9-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving, and 129% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the earnings grow into the multiple.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 7.8% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the quarterly PEG curve, the quarterly return curves, the annual return-on-invested-capital overlay, the total-debt and debt-to-equity series and the F-score and the return-on-invested-capital reading are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data. The quarterly history also begins where the primary source begins: 6 earlier quarters the second source carries are not spliced in front of it. Extending a reported profit series is stricter than showing a ratio chart — it needs a source that has been checked.
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.

Indoco Remedies Ltd trades at ₹247, in a downtrend and 37 weeks into that stage. That is +5.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 58% of a 52-week range of ₹173 to ₹302. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 13 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 37 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹247 it trades +5.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 58% of its 52-week range (₹173–₹302).

Jul 26: ₹247 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 (544 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 −12% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 13 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 98th 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.

Indoco Remedies Ltd trades at 125.3× P/E, about the priciest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 31.8×, measured across 8.8 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 125.3× is about the priciest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 31.8× measured over 8.8 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

98th percentile of 9y

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the −11.0%/yr price move, ~−1.5%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−9.5 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 full 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 disagree by up to 7.8% on reported income across 14 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.

03 · Stage: No read

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).

Indoco Remedies 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 10 quarters across 2 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. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. Base-effect spikes shown pinned (▲). A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

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.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

39.5/100 — rank 35 of 43 in Pharma - Formulators · 56% evidence confidence

Indoco Remedies Ltd scores 39.5 out of 100 against the 43 companies it is compared with in Pharma - Formulators, ranking 35. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 20.1 + 4.5 + 10 + 4.9 = 39.5. 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.

Indoco Remedies Ltd reported ₹476 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +22.1% year on year. That is the 4th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 6.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,845 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,846 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +11.1% growth against the decade's 6.3% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +10.9% over the last 4 quarters against +0.8%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating.

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

Indoco Remedies Ltd's operating margin is 10.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +10.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0% to 21.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Indoco Remedies Ltd's operating margin is 10.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +10.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0% to 21.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 10.0%, +10.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0%–21.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +10.6 pp year on year while gross margin went −2.5 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit null 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.

Indoco Remedies Ltd posted a net loss of ₹24.0 Cr in the Mar 26 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹99.0 Cr. That loss is 5.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹41.0 Cr. 7 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 129% 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 129% of Indoco Remedies Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹192 Cr of operating cash against ₹−99.0 Cr of profit. After ₹91.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹101 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹192 Cr against reported profit of ₹−99.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹101 Cr after ₹91.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 129% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹192 Cr vs profit ₹−99.0 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.

317%255%194%133%71%%162%FY16FY21FY26

Why conversion sits at 129%: the cash cycle tightened 35 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.5× 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: ₹823 Cr of building over 3 years.

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).

Indoco Remedies Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 162 days in FY26, down from 197 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹823 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,845 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹5.1 Cr, so roughly ₹819 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 97 days, inventory at 273 days — roughly 9.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 162 days, tighter than FY21's 197.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 273 days to sell; customers pay about 97 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 208 days — netting out to the 162-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,845 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹5.1 Cr — so the 162-day loop keeps roughly ₹819 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

FY26: a 162-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 ₹823 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹332 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹28.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹91.0 Cr, work-in-progress ₹28.0 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 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 1%.

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.

Indoco Remedies Ltd earns a ROCE of 1% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 0% in FY25. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is −5.4% net margin on 0.71× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 1%, recovered from a FY25 trough of 0% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): −5.4% net margin × 0.71× asset turns × 2.76× balance-sheet leverage ≈ −10.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

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 7.8% on reported income across 14 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 1.16.

11 · Debt

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.

Indoco Remedies Ltd carries ₹1,090 Cr of borrowings against ₹939 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 1.16. Operating profit covers the interest bill 1×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹267 Cr to ₹1,090 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹823 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹1,090 Cr against equity of ₹939 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 1.16. Operating profit covers the interest bill 1×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹267 Cr to ₹1,090 Cr while capital spending ran ₹823 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 7.8% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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.

Domestic institutions cut 1.0 points of Indoco Remedies Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 17.7% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.2 points over the same window, to 1.3%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −1.0 points over 8 quarters to 17.7%; Foreign institutions: −0.2 points over 8 quarters to 1.3%; Promoters: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 58.9%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−1.0 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +0.1 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

→ 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.

Indoco Remedies 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 Indoco Remedies Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Indoco Remedies Ltd is strength at full price. The numbers are improving — and a P/E at the 98th percentile of its own range says the market knows.
