Sakar Healthcare Ltd

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.

Sakar Healthcare Ltd trades at ₹878, in a confirmed uptrend and 58 weeks into that stage. That is +50.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹332 to ₹878. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 44 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 58 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹878 it trades +50.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹332–₹878).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 9.5 years the stock moved +1,388% 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 44 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 66th 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.

Sakar Healthcare Ltd trades at 49.5× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (66th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 39.8×, measured across 5.1 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 49.5× is mid-range by its own standards (66th percentile), against a long-run median of 39.8× measured over 5.1 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 +71.9% against a +148.4% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +37.9%/yr price move, ~+18.8%/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.

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: Improving 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).

Sakar Healthcare Ltd reads as improving on its fundamental arc. Improving — profit growth bottomed 7 quarters ago at −20.0% and has held its recovery at +71.4%, ROCE lifting at 13.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: a sustained climb off the trough is the setup this page is built to catch — the question moves to what you pay for 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.

→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.

4-Factor Sector Score

69.0/100 — rank 2 of 19 in Hospitals · 87% evidence confidence

Sakar Healthcare Ltd scores 69.0 out of 100 against the 19 companies it is compared with in Hospitals, ranking 2. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 32.2 + 13.2 + 6.8 + 16.8 = 69. 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.

Sakar Healthcare Ltd reported ₹73.0 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +37.7% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 19.9% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹252 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹272 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹252 Cr (+41.6% on the year), capping 10 years at 19.9% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹73.0 Cr, +37.7% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +44.3% growth against the decade's 19.9% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +43.9% over the last 4 quarters against +32.5%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +71.4% vs +80.9%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 29.0% this quarter (+5.0 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.

Sakar Healthcare Ltd's operating margin is 29.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 20.0% to 28.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

Sakar Healthcare Ltd's operating margin is 29.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 20.0% to 28.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 29.0%, +5.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 20.0%–28.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +5.0 pp year on year while gross margin went +7.5 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +100.0% 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.

Sakar Healthcare Ltd earned ₹10.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +100.0% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹30.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 31.1%. That is 13.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹5.0 Cr.

The 10-year compound rate is 31.1%. That is 13.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹5.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹10.0 Cr, +100.0% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹30.0 Cr (+66.7%), and the 10-year compound rate is 31.1%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +37.7% and the margin +5.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +70.8% vs revenue +44.3%. 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: 178% 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 178% of Sakar Healthcare Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹49.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹30.0 Cr of profit. After ₹28.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹21.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹49.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹30.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹21.0 Cr after ₹28.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 178% 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 178%: the cash cycle stretched 108 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 1.9× 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: ₹120 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).

Sakar Healthcare Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 127 days in FY26, up from 19 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹120 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹252 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.7 Cr, so roughly ₹88.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 73 days, inventory at 207 days — roughly 6.8 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 127 days, looser than FY21's 19.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 207 days to sell; customers pay about 73 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 153 days — netting out to the 127-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹252 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.7 Cr — so the 127-day loop keeps roughly ₹88.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹120 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹63.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹4.0 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 13% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −2.1 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

Sakar Healthcare Ltd earns a ROCE of 13% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 7% in FY24. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −2.1 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 11.9% net margin on 0.52× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 13%, recovered from a FY24 trough of 7% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 11.9% net margin × 0.52× asset turns × 1.48× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 9.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 9.9% − 12.0% = a −2.1 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. 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 0.17.

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

Sakar Healthcare Ltd carries total debt of ₹71.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹324 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.22 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.73 in FY22 to 0.22 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹71.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹324 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.22. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.73 (FY22) to 0.22 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Foreign institutions cut 1.4 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.

Foreign institutions cut 1.4 points of Sakar Healthcare Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 12.1% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +0.8 points over the same window, to 11.4%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −1.4 points over 8 quarters to 12.1%; Domestic institutions: +0.8 points over 8 quarters to 11.4%; Promoters: −0.6 points over 8 quarters to 52.5%.

🚨 Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (−1.4 points), absorbed on the other side by domestic institutions (+0.8 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.

Sakar Healthcare 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.
