Techno Electric & Engineering Company 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd trades at ₹1,034, in a downtrend and 6 weeks into that stage. That is −10.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 22% of a 52-week range of ₹893 to ₹1,545. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (12 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 6 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹1,034 it trades −10.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 22% of its 52-week range (₹893–₹1,545).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 7.6 years the stock moved +317% while the NIFTY 500 moved +159% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (12 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-05-29) — 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 46th 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd trades at 25.7× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (46th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 27.6×, measured across 7.5 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 25.7× is mid-range by its own standards (46th percentile), against a long-run median of 27.6× measured over 7.5 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 +12.0% against a −32.3% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +27.2%/yr price move, ~+19.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+8.0 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 unremarkable 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).

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: profit growth has eased from +89.5% at its peak to +12.1% but is still expanding, ROCE holding at 15.0%. The read is built from 12 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.

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

4-Factor Sector Score

54.5/100 — rank 3 of 5 in Data Centre · 87% evidence confidence

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd scores 54.5 out of 100 against the 5 companies it is compared with in Data Centre, ranking 3. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 17.3 + 14.7 + 16.6 + 5.9 = 54.5. 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd reported ₹1,010 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +23.8% year on year. That is the 6th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 9 years it has compounded at 44.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,252 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,251 Cr.

Over 9 years it has compounded at 44.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,252 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,251 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹3,252 Cr (+43.3% on the year), capping 9 years at 44.3% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹1,010 Cr, +23.8% year on year — the 6th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +48.1% growth against the decade's 44.3% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +43.3% over the last 4 quarters against +47.1%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +12.1% vs +32.7%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 13.0% this quarter (−3.0 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 11.0% to 91.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 11.0% to 91.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.0%, −3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 11.0%–91.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −2.4 pp year on year while gross margin went −2.0 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −14.8% 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd earned ₹115 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −14.8% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹474 Cr. The 9-year compound rate is 26.8%. That is 11.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹135 Cr.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd earned ₹115 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −14.8% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹474 Cr. The 9-year compound rate is 26.8%. That is 11.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹135 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹115 Cr, −14.8% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹474 Cr (+12.1%), and the 9-year compound rate is 26.8%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +23.8% and the margin −3.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +14.7% vs revenue +48.1%. 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: −29% 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 −29% of Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−590 Cr of operating cash against ₹474 Cr of profit. After ₹87.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−677 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−590 Cr against reported profit of ₹474 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−677 Cr after ₹87.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −29% 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 −29%: the cash cycle tightened 82 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 13.3× 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: ₹439 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).

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 137 days in FY26, down from 219 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹439 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹3,252 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹8.9 Cr, so roughly ₹1,221 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 137 days, inventory at 0 days — roughly 0.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 137 days, tighter than FY21's 219.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹3,252 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹8.9 Cr — so the 137-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,221 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹439 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹33.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹72.0 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 15% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +9.5 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 8% in FY23. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +9.5 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 14.6% net margin on 0.55× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a FY23 trough of 8% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 14.6% net margin × 0.55× asset turns × 1.43× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.5% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 21.5% − 12.0% = a +9.5 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.02.

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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd carries total debt of ₹72.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹4,157 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.02 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.01 in FY25 to 0.02 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹72.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹4,157 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.02. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.01 (FY25) to 0.02 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Promoters cut 4.6 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 4.6 points of Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 56.9% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +3.7 points over the same window, to 8.1%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −4.6 points over 8 quarters to 56.9%; Foreign institutions: +3.7 points over 8 quarters to 8.1%; Domestic institutions: −1.2 points over 8 quarters to 21.6%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−4.6 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (+3.7 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.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company 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.
