Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd

MBAPL
Fertilisers

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +161.8% in a year against a −67.9% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 50% 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 (78 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 81st percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +17.9% year on year, and 50% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

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.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd trades at ₹136, in a confirmed uptrend and 78 weeks into that stage. That is +39.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 6% of a 52-week range of ₹106 to ₹593. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 3 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 78 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹136 it trades +39.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 6% of its 52-week range (₹106–₹593).

Jul 26: ₹136 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
Jan 17Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 9.5 years the stock moved +968% while the NIFTY 500 moved +215% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 3 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 81st 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.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd trades at 41.9× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (81st percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 20.8×, measured across 9.5 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 41.9× is at the pricey end of its own range (81st percentile), against a long-run median of 20.8× measured over 9.5 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 41.9× vs a 20.8× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 9.5-year window; loss-period spikes above 62× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

PEG 0.30 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 7 quarters.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +161.8% against a −67.9% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +34.4%/yr price move, ~+50.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−16.0 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 full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ 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).

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: revenue growth has eased from +76.3% at its peak to +47.6% but is still expanding, ROCE lifting at 33.9%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full 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.

4-Factor Sector Score

49.0/100 — rank 9 of 15 in Fertilisers · 100% evidence confidence

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd scores 49.0 out of 100 against the 15 companies it is compared with in Fertilisers, ranking 9. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -59.5% and the one-year return is -67.9%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 24.7 + 13.3 + 4.9 + 6.1 = 49. 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.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +53.0% growth against the decade's 39.9% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +47.6% over the last 4 quarters against +46.9%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +109.5% vs +135.3%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 16.0% this quarter (+2.0 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.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's operating margin is 16.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0% to 28.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 16.0%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0%–28.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.9 pp year on year while gross margin went +5.2 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd earned ₹33.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +17.9% year on year. It is the 7th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹150 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 32.5%. That is 7.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹28.0 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +1.5% 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 +134.7% vs revenue +53.0%. 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: 50% 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 50% of Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−127 Cr of operating cash against ₹150 Cr of profit. After ₹397 Cr of capital spending, ₹−524 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−127 Cr against reported profit of ₹150 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−524 Cr after ₹397 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 50% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹−127 Cr vs profit ₹150 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. FY26 reflects an acquisition year — point shown clipped.

🚨 Why conversion sits at 50%: the cash cycle tightened 37 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: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 6.1× 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: ₹610 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).

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 144 days in FY26, down from 181 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹610 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,867 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹5.1 Cr, so roughly ₹737 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 83 days, inventory at 96 days — roughly 3.2 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 144 days, tighter than FY21's 181.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 96 days to sell; customers pay about 83 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 36 days — netting out to the 144-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,867 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹5.1 Cr — so the 144-day loop keeps roughly ₹737 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹610 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹100 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹277 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹397 Cr, work-in-progress ₹277 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 19% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +1.3 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.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd earns a ROCE of 19% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 9% in FY16. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +1.3 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 8.0% net margin on 1.11× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 19%, recovered from a FY16 trough of 9% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 8.0% net margin × 1.11× asset turns × 3.06× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 27.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 13.3% − 12.0% = a +1.3 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. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.

→ 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.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products 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 · Fertilisers 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.

Does Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd have too much debt?

It carries real leverage — Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's debt-to-equity is 1.56, and operating profit covers the interest bill 7×. FY26 borrowings were ₹856 Cr against equity of ₹550 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's capex?

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd spent ₹610 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 ₹397 Cr, with ₹277 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd generated ₹−127 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−524 Cr of free cash flow after ₹397 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹150 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.

Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, 50% of Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−127 Cr against reported profit of ₹150 Cr.

What could break the Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 50% 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 Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +161.8% in a year against a −67.9% price move. 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.
