S P Apparels Ltd
SPALS P Apparels 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 96th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (11 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 96th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −36.7% year on year, and 116% 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.
S P Apparels Ltd trades at ₹992, in a confirmed uptrend and 11 weeks into that stage. That is +21.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 68% of a 52-week range of ₹636 to ₹1,160. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 25 straight weeks.
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 11 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹992 it trades +21.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 68% of its 52-week range (₹636–₹1,160).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 9.9 years the stock moved +193% while the NIFTY 500 moved +207% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 25 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 96th 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.
S P Apparels Ltd trades at 25.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (96th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 15.9×, measured across 9.9 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 25.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (96th percentile), against a long-run median of 15.9× measured over 9.9 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 +5.8% against a +22.9% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +26.6%/yr price move, ~+19.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+7.6 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +11.3%/yr price move, ~+5.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+6.0 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: Consistent 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).
S P Apparels Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROCE at 18.3% and holding. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +13.2% | +13.5% | +19.4% | +11.5% |
| Profit | +6.3% | +6.8% | +18.6% | +18.2% |
| EPS | +5.8% | +6.8% | +19.0% | +13.8% |
| Share price | +22.9% | +27.0% | +26.6% | +11.3% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
58.1/100 — rank 6 of 26 in Textiles - Readymade Apparel · 96% evidence confidence
S P Apparels Ltd scores 58.1 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Textiles - Readymade Apparel, ranking 6. Price leads the evidence: RS versus the benchmark is 27.2%, but earnings trajectory is weak. Wait for revenue and profit confirmation.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 15.1 + 13.3 + 11.5 + 18.2 = 58.1. 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.
S P Apparels Ltd reported ₹365 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −8.5% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 11.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,579 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,578 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,579 Cr (+13.2% on the year), capping 10 years at 11.5% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹365 Cr, −8.5% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +18.0% growth against the decade's 11.5% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +13.2% over the last 4 quarters against +20.5%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +8.5% vs +6.5%/yr — stabilising.
→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 12.0% this quarter (−2.0 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.
S P Apparels Ltd's operating margin is 12.0% in the Mar 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 18.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
S P Apparels Ltd's operating margin is 12.0% in the Mar 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 18.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 12.0%, −2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0%–18.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.7 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.5 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −36.7% 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.
S P Apparels Ltd earned ₹19.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −36.7% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹101 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 18.2%. That is 5.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹30.0 Cr.
S P Apparels Ltd earned ₹19.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −36.7% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹101 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 18.2%. That is 5.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹30.0 Cr.
Mar 26 profit was ₹19.0 Cr, −36.7% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹101 Cr (+6.3%), and the 10-year compound rate is 18.2%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed −8.5% and the margin −2.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +12.9% vs revenue +18.0%. 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: 116% 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 116% of S P Apparels Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹209 Cr of operating cash against ₹101 Cr of profit. After ₹112 Cr of capital spending, ₹97.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹209 Cr against reported profit of ₹101 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹97.0 Cr after ₹112 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 116% 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 116%: the cash cycle tightened 113 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.
Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.7× 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: ₹350 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).
S P Apparels Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 156 days in FY26, down from 269 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹350 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,579 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹4.3 Cr, so roughly ₹675 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 59 days, inventory at 167 days — roughly 5.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 156 days, tighter than FY21's 269.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 167 days to sell; customers pay about 59 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 69 days — netting out to the 156-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,579 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹4.3 Cr — so the 156-day loop keeps roughly ₹675 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹350 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹129 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 14% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −2.4 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.
S P Apparels Ltd earns a ROCE of 14% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 10% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −2.4 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 6.4% net margin on 0.99× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 14%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 10% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 6.4% net margin × 0.99× asset turns × 1.68× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 10.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 9.6% − 12.0% = a −2.4 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 0.44.
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.
S P Apparels Ltd carries total debt of ₹419 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹940 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.45. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.37 in FY22 to 0.45 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹419 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹940 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.45. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.37 (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: Domestic institutions cut 3.1 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.
Domestic institutions cut 3.1 points of S P Apparels Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 16.1% of the company. Promoters moved −0.1 points over the same window, to 61.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −3.1 points over 8 quarters to 16.1%; Promoters: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 61.8%; Foreign institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 1.5%.
🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−3.1 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.
S P Apparels 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.

What is S P Apparels Ltd's capex?
S P Apparels Ltd spent ₹350 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 ₹112 Cr, with ₹4.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

The latest quarter ran 12.0%. 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 S P Apparels Ltd story?
Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 96th 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 S P Apparels Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: S P Apparels 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.
