Optiemus Infracom Ltd
OPTIEMUSOptiemus Infracom Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 77th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.
The price is in a downtrend (31 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 77th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read mixed — profit +0.0% year on year, and 8% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.
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.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd trades at ₹588, in a downtrend and 31 weeks into that stage. That is +24.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 75% of a 52-week range of ₹312 to ₹681. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 16 straight weeks.
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 31 of stage 4. At ₹588 it trades +24.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 75% of its 52-week range (₹312–₹681).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +1,114% while the NIFTY 500 moved +266% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 16 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 77th 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.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd trades at 81.1× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (77th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 56.5×, 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 81.1× is at the pricey end of its own range (77th percentile), against a long-run median of 56.5× 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 +2.5% against a −3.2% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +28.3%/yr price move, ~−7.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+36.0 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +28.0%/yr price move, ~+8.9%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+19.1 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.
→ 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: 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).
Optiemus Infracom Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE slipping at 11.8% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | −6.4% | +14.6% | +57.6% | −0.8% |
| Profit | +4.8% | +16.3% | −7.0% | +17.6% |
| EPS | +2.5% | +15.1% | −7.6% | +17.3% |
| Share price | −3.2% | +35.7% | +28.3% | +28.0% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
34.8/100 — rank 14 of 18 in Telecom Services · 83% evidence confidence
Optiemus Infracom Ltd scores 34.8 out of 100 against the 18 companies it is compared with in Telecom Services, ranking 14. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 11.4 + 11.2 + 4.1 + 8.1 = 34.8. 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.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd reported ₹485 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +8.0% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at −0.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,769 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,768 Cr.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd reported ₹485 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +8.0% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at −0.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,769 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,768 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,769 Cr (−6.4% on the year), capping 10 years at −0.8% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹485 Cr, +8.0% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −6.3% growth against the decade's −0.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −6.5% over the last 4 quarters against +7.6%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +4.8% vs +8.6%/yr — rolling over.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 1.0% this quarter (−4.0 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.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd's operating margin is 1.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −4.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −54.0% to 8.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd's operating margin is 1.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −4.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −54.0% to 8.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 1.0%, −4.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −54.0%–8.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −3.6 pp year on year while gross margin went −3.3 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +0.0% 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.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd earned ₹22.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹66.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 17.6%. That is 4.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹22.0 Cr.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd earned ₹22.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹66.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 17.6%. That is 4.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹22.0 Cr.
Mar 26 profit was ₹22.0 Cr, +0.0% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹66.0 Cr (+4.8%), and the 10-year compound rate is 17.6%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +8.0% and the margin −4.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +6.6% vs revenue −6.3%. 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: 8% 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 8% of Optiemus Infracom Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−12.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹66.0 Cr of profit. After ₹312 Cr of capital spending, ₹−324 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹−12.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹66.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−324 Cr after ₹312 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 8% 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 8%: the cash cycle tightened 179 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 7.1× 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: ₹456 Cr of building over 3 years.
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).
Optiemus Infracom Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 14 days in FY26, down from 193 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹456 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,769 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹4.8 Cr, so roughly ₹68.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 61 days, inventory at 74 days — roughly 2.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 14 days, tighter than FY21's 193.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 74 days to sell; customers pay about 61 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 122 days — netting out to the 14-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,769 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹4.8 Cr — so the 14-day loop keeps roughly ₹68.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹456 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹64.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹300 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
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 11% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −6.8 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.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd earns a ROCE of 11% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −16% in FY20. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −6.8 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 3.7% net margin on 0.96× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 11%, recovered from a FY20 trough of −16% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 3.7% net margin × 0.96× asset turns × 2.37× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 8.4% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 5.2% − 12.0% = a −6.8 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.
→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.48.
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.
Optiemus Infracom Ltd carries total debt of ₹373 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹822 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.45. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.13 in FY22 to 0.45 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹373 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹822 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.45. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.13 (FY22) to 0.45 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Promoters cut 2.7 points over 8 quarters.
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.
Promoters cut 2.7 points of Optiemus Infracom Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 72.2% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +2.6 points over the same window, to 3.2%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Promoters: −2.7 points over 8 quarters to 72.2%; Foreign institutions: +2.6 points over 8 quarters to 3.2%; Domestic institutions: +0.7 points over 8 quarters to 1.0%.
🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−2.7 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (+2.6 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.
→ 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.
Optiemus Infracom 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.

Does Optiemus Infracom Ltd have too much debt?
It is moderate — Optiemus Infracom Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.48, and operating profit covers the interest bill 4×. FY26 borrowings were ₹373 Cr against equity of ₹777 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 24 July 2026.
What is Optiemus Infracom Ltd's capex?
Optiemus Infracom Ltd spent ₹456 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 ₹312 Cr, with ₹300 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.
What is Optiemus Infracom Ltd's cash flow?
Optiemus Infracom Ltd generated ₹−12.0 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−324 Cr of free cash flow after ₹312 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹66.0 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.
Is Optiemus Infracom Ltd's profit real cash?
Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, 8% of Optiemus Infracom Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−12.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹66.0 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.
Where is Optiemus Infracom Ltd in its business cycle?
Optiemus Infracom Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 6.0%, against a 13-year band of −54.0%–8.0%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran 1.0%. 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 Optiemus Infracom Ltd story?
Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 77th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work. 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 Optiemus Infracom Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Optiemus Infracom Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it. The sharpest open question: the next one or two quarters of delivery. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
