SPML Infra Ltd
SPMLINFRASPML Infra Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +41.3% in a year against a −23.7% price move.
The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −154% 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 building a base (8 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 45th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +125.0% year on year, and −154% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.
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.
SPML Infra Ltd trades at ₹206, building a base and 8 weeks into that stage. That is +3.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 35% of a 52-week range of ₹160 to ₹292. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (6 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is building a base — week 8 of stage 1. At ₹206 it trades +3.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 35% of its 52-week range (₹160–₹292).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +228% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — 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 45th 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.
SPML Infra Ltd trades at 22.6× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (45th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 26.0×, 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 22.6× is mid-range by its own standards (45th percentile), against a long-run median of 26.0× 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 +41.3% against a −23.7% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 10y, of the +7.0%/yr price move, ~+32.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−25.7 pp from the multiple (compressing). 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 unremarkable 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: No read 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).
SPML Infra Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 10 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.
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.
Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |

| EPS | +41.3% | +372.1% | — | — |

4-Factor Sector Score
57.0/100 — rank 4 of 17 in Infra - Construction & Contracting · 74% evidence confidence
SPML Infra Ltd scores 57.0 out of 100 against the 17 companies it is compared with in Infra - Construction & Contracting, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 25.9 + 8.5 + 10.2 + 12.4 = 57. 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.
SPML Infra Ltd reported ₹291 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +54.0% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at −8.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹868 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹867 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹868 Cr (+12.6% on the year), capping 10 years at −8.2% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹291 Cr, +54.0% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +13.1% growth against the decade's −8.2% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +12.2% over the last 4 quarters against −18.9%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 7.0% 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.
SPML Infra Ltd's operating margin is 7.0% 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 −1.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
SPML Infra Ltd's operating margin is 7.0% 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 −1.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 7.0%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −1.0%–11.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.5 pp year on year while gross margin went +3.7 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +125.0% 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.
SPML Infra Ltd earned ₹27.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +125.0% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹75.0 Cr. That is 9.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹12.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹27.0 Cr, +125.0% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹75.0 Cr (+56.3%).
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +54.0% and the margin +2.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +58.2% vs revenue +13.1%. 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: −154% 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 −154% of SPML Infra Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−113 Cr of operating cash against ₹75.0 Cr of profit. After ₹103 Cr of capital spending, ₹−216 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹−113 Cr against reported profit of ₹75.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−216 Cr after ₹103 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −154% 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 −154%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.
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 −39-day cycle and ₹−73.0 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).
SPML Infra Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −39 days in FY26, down from −36 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹−73.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹868 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹2.4 Cr, so roughly ₹−93.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 216 days, inventory at 63 days — roughly 2.1 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −39 days, tighter than FY21's −36.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 63 days to sell; customers pay about 216 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 318 days — netting out to the −39-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹868 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹2.4 Cr — so the −39-day loop keeps roughly ₹−93.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹−73.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹5.0 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹64.0 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 −6.0 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
SPML Infra Ltd earns a ROCE of 7% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 1% in FY22. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −6.0 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 8.6% net margin on 0.38× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 7%, recovered from a FY22 trough of 1% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 8.6% net margin × 0.38× asset turns × 2.42× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 7.9% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 6.0% − 12.0% = a −6.0 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 0.38.
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
SPML Infra Ltd carries total debt of ₹358 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹948 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.38. On the annual view that ratio went from 5.54 in FY22 to 0.38 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹358 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹948 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.38. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 5.54 (FY22) to 0.38 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Promoters added 6.1 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.
Promoters added 6.1 points of SPML Infra Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 40.9% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.4 points over the same window, to 0.3%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Promoters: +6.1 points over 8 quarters to 40.9%; Foreign institutions: −0.4 points over 8 quarters to 0.3%; Domestic institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 1.8%.
Why the register moved: promoters drove it (+6.1 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.
→ 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.
SPML Infra 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 SPML Infra Ltd's capex?
SPML Infra Ltd spent ₹−73.0 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 ₹103 Cr, with ₹64.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.
What is SPML Infra Ltd's cash flow?
SPML Infra Ltd generated ₹−113 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−216 Cr of free cash flow after ₹103 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹75.0 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.
Is SPML Infra Ltd's profit real cash?
Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, −154% of SPML Infra Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−113 Cr against reported profit of ₹75.0 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 SPML Infra Ltd in its business cycle?
SPML Infra Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 8.0%, against a 13-year band of −1.0%–11.0%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran 7.0%. 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 SPML Infra Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −154% 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 SPML Infra Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: SPML Infra Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +41.3% in a year against a −23.7% price move. 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.
