Precision Camshafts Ltd
PRECAMPrecision Camshafts Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew −5.3% in a year against a −29.7% price move.
Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 70th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.
The price is in a downtrend (71 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 70th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit −75.0% year on year, and 272% 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.
Precision Camshafts Ltd trades at ₹142, in a downtrend and 71 weeks into that stage. That is −11.0% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 25% of a 52-week range of ₹113 to ₹228. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (6 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 71 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹142 it trades −11.0% versus its 200-day average and sits at 25% of its 52-week range (₹113–₹228).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved −5% while the NIFTY 500 moved +266% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (6 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-19) — 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 70th 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.
Precision Camshafts Ltd trades at 53.4× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (70th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 34.6×, 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 53.4× is at the pricey end of its own range (70th percentile), against a long-run median of 34.6× 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 −5.3% against a −29.7% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +9.0%/yr price move, ~+30.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−21.0 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +0.8%/yr price move, ~−10.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+11.1 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.
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: 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).
Precision Camshafts Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — revenue growth is lifting off its trough at −10.6% while profit growth is falling at −5.6% — the curves disagree, so the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
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 | −10.6% | −10.5% | +1.7% | +5.8% |
| Profit | −5.6% | +3.5% | — | −3.0% |
| EPS | −5.3% | +3.5% | +86.4% | −2.9% |
| Share price | −29.7% | −13.5% | +9.0% | +0.8% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
33.3/100 — rank 19 of 20 in Auto Ancillaries - Diversified · 77% evidence confidence
Precision Camshafts Ltd scores 33.3 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Diversified, ranking 19. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 9.7 + 10.4 + 9.6 + 3.6 = 33.3. 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.
Precision Camshafts Ltd reported ₹201 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +5.8% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 5.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹773 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹773 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹773 Cr (−10.6% on the year), capping 10 years at 5.8% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹201 Cr, +5.8% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −9.5% growth against the decade's 5.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −10.6% over the last 4 quarters against −13.4%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit −5.6% vs +14.4%/yr — rolling over.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 13.0% this quarter (+0.0 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.
Precision Camshafts Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 27.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
Precision Camshafts Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 27.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0%–27.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −0.4 pp year on year while gross margin went −8.5 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −75.0% 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.
Precision Camshafts Ltd earned ₹10.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −75.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹51.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is −3.0%. That is 5.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹40.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹10.0 Cr, −75.0% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹51.0 Cr (−5.6%), and the 10-year compound rate is −3.0%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +5.8% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +15.3% vs revenue −9.5%. 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: 272% 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 272% of Precision Camshafts Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹120 Cr of operating cash against ₹51.0 Cr of profit. After ₹73.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹47.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹120 Cr against reported profit of ₹51.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹47.0 Cr after ₹73.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 272% 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 272%: the cash cycle tightened 32 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.
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 64-day cycle and ₹163 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).
Precision Camshafts Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 64 days in FY26, down from 96 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹163 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹773 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹2.1 Cr, so roughly ₹136 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 59 days, inventory at 113 days — roughly 3.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 64 days, tighter than FY21's 96.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 113 days to sell; customers pay about 59 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 108 days — netting out to the 64-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹773 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹2.1 Cr — so the 64-day loop keeps roughly ₹136 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹163 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹184 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹65.0 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 7% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −1.3 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
Precision Camshafts Ltd earns a ROCE of 7% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 0% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −1.3 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 6.6% net margin on 0.74× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 7%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 0% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 6.6% net margin × 0.74× asset turns × 1.25× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 6.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 10.7% − 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. 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 0.06.
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
Precision Camshafts Ltd carries total debt of ₹54.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹836 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.06 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.21 in FY22 to 0.06 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹54.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹836 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.06. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.21 (FY22) to 0.06 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
→ 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 Precision Camshafts Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Domestic institutions moved −0.1 points over the same window, to 0.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.3%; Domestic institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 65.4%.
→ 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.
Precision Camshafts 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 Precision Camshafts Ltd have too much debt?
No — Precision Camshafts Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.06, and operating profit covers the interest bill 10×. FY26 borrowings were ₹54.0 Cr against equity of ₹836 Cr. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 24 July 2026.
What is Precision Camshafts Ltd's capex?
Precision Camshafts Ltd spent ₹163 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 ₹73.0 Cr, with ₹65.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

Precision Camshafts Ltd generated ₹120 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹47.0 Cr of free cash flow after ₹73.0 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹51.0 Cr, so operating cash ran ahead of profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.
Is Precision Camshafts Ltd's profit real cash?
Yes — over the last 3 fiscal years, 272% of Precision Camshafts Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹120 Cr against reported profit of ₹51.0 Cr. The cash then goes into a mix of the working-capital cycle and capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.
Where is Precision Camshafts Ltd in its business cycle?
Precision Camshafts Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 9.0%, against a 13-year band of 9.0%–27.0%: the low end of its own band, which is where recoveries start when they come. The latest quarter ran 13.0%. 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 Precision Camshafts Ltd story?
Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 70th 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 Precision Camshafts Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Precision Camshafts Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew −5.3% in a year against a −29.7% price move. 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.
