Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd
KECLKirloskar Electric Company Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +125.0% in a year against a −13.3% price move.
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +125.0% against a −13.3% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (9 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 83rd percentile of its own 7-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving, and 377% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.
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.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd trades at ₹119, in a confirmed uptrend and 9 weeks into that stage. That is +6.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 68% of a 52-week range of ₹77 to ₹139. 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 9 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹119 it trades +6.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 68% of its 52-week range (₹77–₹139).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +398% while the NIFTY 500 moved +280% — ahead of 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 2026-06-17) — 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 83rd 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.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd trades at 95.1× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (83rd percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 32.8×, measured across 6.7 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 95.1× is at the pricey end of its own range (83rd percentile), against a long-run median of 32.8× measured over 6.7 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 +125.0% against a −13.3% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the −1.6%/yr price move, ~−34.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+33.0 pp from the multiple (expanding). 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 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.
Stage: Turning around 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).
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −73.4% at the trough to +270.9%, a 3-quarter improving streak, ROCE holding at 15.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.
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.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +8.3% | +7.5% | +16.2% | +0.7% |
| Profit | +100.0% | −36.3% | — | — |
| EPS | +125.0% | −35.4% | — | — |
| Share price | −13.3% | −1.6% | +41.6% | +9.5% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
49.5/100 — rank 9 of 19 in Capital Goods - Electric General · 68% evidence confidence
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd scores 49.5 out of 100 against the 19 companies it is compared with in Capital Goods - Electric General, ranking 9. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.5 + 12.6 + 8.9 + 6.5 = 49.5. 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.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd reported ₹164 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +26.7% year on year. That is the 2nd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 0.7% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹589 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹589 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹589 Cr (+8.3% on the year), capping 10 years at 0.7% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹164 Cr, +26.7% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +10.0% growth against the decade's 0.7% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +8.4% over the last 4 quarters against +2.8%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +270.9% vs −0.7%/yr — accelerating.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 3.9% this quarter (+3.4 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.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's operating margin is 3.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +3.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −15.0% to 8.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's operating margin is 3.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +3.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −15.0% to 8.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 3.9%, +3.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −15.0%–8.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +3.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.5 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.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd posted a net loss of ₹0.6 Cr in the Mar 26 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹8.0 Cr. That loss is 0.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹3.9 Cr. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd posted a net loss of ₹0.6 Cr in the Mar 26 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹8.0 Cr. That loss is 0.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹3.9 Cr. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Mar 26 profit was ₹−0.6 Cr, null year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹8.0 Cr (+100.0%).
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +212.4% vs revenue +10.0%. 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: 377% 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 377% of Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹25.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹8.0 Cr of profit. After ₹−5.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹30.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹25.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹8.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹30.0 Cr after ₹−5.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 377% 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 377%: the cash cycle stretched 51 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 −63-day cycle and ₹11.0 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).
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −63 days in FY26, up from −114 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹11.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹589 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.6 Cr, so roughly ₹−102 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 52 days, inventory at 49 days — roughly 1.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −63 days, looser than FY21's −114.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 49 days to sell; customers pay about 52 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 164 days — netting out to the −63-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹589 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.6 Cr — so the −63-day loop keeps roughly ₹−102 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹11.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹14.0 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 15% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +8.1 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.⚠ unverified
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −27% in FY15. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +8.1 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 1.4% net margin on 0.93× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a FY15 trough of −27% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 1.4% net margin × 0.93× asset turns × 4.84× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 6.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 20.1% − 12.0% = a +8.1 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.
→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.76.
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
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd carries total debt of ₹100 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹132 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.76. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.87 in FY22 to 0.76 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹100 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹132 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.76. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.87 (FY22) to 0.76 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
→ 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 Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Promoters moved +0.2 points over the same window, to 49.7%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −0.4 points over 8 quarters to 1.3%; Promoters: +0.2 points over 8 quarters to 49.7%; Foreign institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 4.1%.
→ 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.
Kirloskar Electric Company 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.

It is moderate — Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.76, and operating profit covers the interest bill 1×. FY26 borrowings were ₹100 Cr against equity of ₹131 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 24 July 2026.
What is Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's capex?
Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd spent ₹11.0 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation.

Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd generated ₹25.0 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹30.0 Cr of free cash flow after ₹−5.0 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹8.0 Cr, so operating cash ran ahead of profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.
Is Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's profit real cash?
Yes — over the last 3 fiscal years, 377% of Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹25.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹8.0 Cr.

The latest quarter ran 3.9%. 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 Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +125.0% against a −13.3% 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 Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +125.0% in a year against a −13.3% price move. The sharpest open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
