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

NIBE Ltd

NIBE
Aerospace & Defence - Equipments

NIBE Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −9.7% in a year against EPS −79.8% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 25% 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 (6 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 86th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +211.1% year on year, and 25% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 9.5% on reported income across 13 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: 7 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.

NIBE Ltd trades at ₹1,509, in a confirmed uptrend and 6 weeks into that stage. That is +17.0% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 68% of a 52-week range of ₹871 to ₹1,816. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 17 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 6 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,509 it trades +17.0% versus its 200-day average and sits at 68% of its 52-week range (₹871–₹1,816).

Jul 26: ₹1,509 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
Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +18,394% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 17 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 86th 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.

NIBE Ltd trades at 414.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 131.2×, 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 414.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile), against a long-run median of 131.2× 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.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −79.8% against a −9.7% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +59.1%/yr price move, ~+16.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+42.9 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 disagree by up to 9.5% on reported income across 13 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: Turning around

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).

NIBE Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −100.0% at the trough to +211.1% off a 1-quarter-old trough (single-quarter readings), ROCE slipping at 5.0%. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 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: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

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.

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

33.8/100 — rank 20 of 24 in Aerospace & Defence - Equipments · 66% evidence confidence

NIBE Ltd scores 33.8 out of 100 against the 24 companies it is compared with in Aerospace & Defence - Equipments, 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: 9.6 + 9 + 8.5 + 6.7 = 33.8. 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.

NIBE Ltd reported ₹260 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +130.1% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 48.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹474 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹474 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −0.5% growth against the decade's 48.6% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −6.7% over the last 4 quarters against +29.6%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit −100.0% vs −100.0%/yr — stabilising.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 20.0% this quarter (+3.0 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.

NIBE Ltd's operating margin is 20.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −17.0% to 13.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 20.0%, +3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −17.0%–13.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.8 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.1 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.

NIBE Ltd earned ₹28.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +211.1% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹0.0 Cr. That is 10.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹9.0 Cr. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +130.1% and the margin +3.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −284.4% vs revenue −0.5%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 25% 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 25% of NIBE Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−35.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹0.0 Cr of profit. After ₹124 Cr of capital spending, ₹−159 Cr was left as free cash. Cash resolution here is annual, because quarterly cash statements are not published.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−35.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹0.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−159 Cr after ₹124 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 25% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹−35.0 Cr vs profit ₹0.0 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. FY24/FY26 reflects an acquisition year — point shown clipped.

🚨 Why conversion sits at 25%: the cash cycle tightened 1,211 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 5.2× 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: ₹273 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).

NIBE Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 92 days in FY26, down from 1,303 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹273 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹474 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.3 Cr, so roughly ₹119 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 178 days, inventory at 43 days — roughly 1.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 92 days, tighter than FY21's 1,303.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 43 days to sell; customers pay about 178 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 129 days — netting out to the 92-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹474 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.3 Cr — so the 92-day loop keeps roughly ₹119 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

1,8531,356858360−137days92d43d178d129dFY14FY20FY26

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹273 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹53.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹62.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹124 Cr, work-in-progress ₹62.0 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 5%.

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.

NIBE Ltd earns a ROCE of 5% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 0% in FY19. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 0.0% net margin on 0.73× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 5%, recovered from a FY19 trough of 0% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 0.0% net margin × 0.73× asset turns × 1.88× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 0.0% 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 9.5% on reported income across 13 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 0.34.

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.

NIBE Ltd carries ₹120 Cr of borrowings against ₹348 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.34. Operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹2.0 Cr to ₹120 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹273 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹120 Cr against equity of ₹348 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.34. Operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹2.0 Cr to ₹120 Cr while capital spending ran ₹273 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

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 3.7 points of NIBE Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 11.5% of the company. Promoters moved −1.6 points over the same window, to 51.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: +3.7 points over 8 quarters to 11.5%; Promoters: −1.6 points over 8 quarters to 51.5%; Domestic institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.6%.

Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (+3.7 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (−1.6 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +3.4 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.

NIBE 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 · Aerospace & Defence - Equipments 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.

This page publishes no price forecast for NIBE Ltd. What it measures instead: the share price is ₹1,509, the price is in a confirmed uptrend 6 weeks in. Its P/E of 414.0× sits at the 86th percentile of its own 10-year range. — as of 24 July 2026.

Does NIBE Ltd have too much debt?

It is moderate — NIBE Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.34, and operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. FY26 borrowings were ₹120 Cr against equity of ₹348 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 24 July 2026.

What is NIBE Ltd's capex?

NIBE Ltd spent ₹273 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 ₹124 Cr, with ₹62.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What is NIBE Ltd's cash flow?

NIBE Ltd generated ₹−35.0 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−159 Cr of free cash flow after ₹124 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹0.0 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.

Is NIBE Ltd's profit real cash?

Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, 25% of NIBE Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−35.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹0.0 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.

Where is NIBE Ltd in its business cycle?

NIBE Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 9.0%, against a 13-year band of −17.0%–13.0%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran 20.0%. 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 NIBE Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 25% 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 NIBE Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: NIBE Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −9.7% in a year against EPS −79.8% — the market is paying now for delivery later. 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.
