WPIL Ltd

WPIL
Pumps

WPIL Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +19.7% in a year against a +3.1% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −33% 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 in a confirmed uptrend (7 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 71st percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +126.9% year on year, and −33% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 24% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the quarterly PEG curve, the quarterly return curves, the annual return-on-invested-capital overlay, the total-debt and debt-to-equity series and the F-score and the return-on-invested-capital reading are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data. The quarterly history also begins where the primary source begins: 6 earlier quarters the second source carries are not spliced in front of it. Extending a reported profit series is stricter than showing a ratio chart — it needs a source that has been checked.
01 · Price story

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.

WPIL Ltd trades at ₹462, in a confirmed uptrend and 7 weeks into that stage. That is +7.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 68% of a 52-week range of ₹365 to ₹507. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 27 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 7 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹462 it trades +7.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 68% of its 52-week range (₹365–₹507).

Jul 26: ₹462 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +1,086% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 27 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 71st percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

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.

WPIL Ltd trades at 25.9× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (71st percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 19.2×, 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 25.9× is at the pricey end of its own range (71st percentile), against a long-run median of 19.2× 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.

P/E 25.9× vs a 19.2× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 10.4-year window; loss-period spikes above 58× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

71st percentile of 10y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +19.7% against a +3.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +33.7%/yr price move, ~+15.1%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+18.6 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +30.0%/yr price move, ~+24.8%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+5.2 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 disagree by up to 24% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — 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.

03 · Stage: Turning around

Stage: Turning around 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).

WPIL Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −84.1% at the trough to +114.7%, a 3-quarter improving streak, ROCE slipping at 15.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm 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.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

63.5/100 — rank 1 of 4 in Pumps · 73% evidence confidence

WPIL Ltd scores 63.5 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Pumps, ranking 1. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 22.5 + 15.7 + 10 + 15.3 = 63.5. 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.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

WPIL Ltd reported ₹501 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +32.2% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 9.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,855 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,977 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +12.4% growth against the decade's 9.8% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +8.4% over the last 4 quarters against +7.7%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +114.7% vs −41.6%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 15.0% this quarter (+2.0 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

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.

WPIL Ltd's operating margin is 15.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 7.0% to 20.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 15.0%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 7.0%–20.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.0 pp year on year while gross margin went +3.5 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +126.9% in the latest quarter.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

WPIL Ltd earned ₹59.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +126.9% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹200 Cr. That is 11.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹26.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +32.2% 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 +68.9% vs revenue +12.4%. 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: −33% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

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 −33% of WPIL Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−93.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹200 Cr of profit. After ₹185 Cr of capital spending, ₹−278 Cr was left as free cash. Cash resolution here is annual, because quarterly cash statements are not published.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−93.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹200 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−278 Cr after ₹185 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −33% 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 −33%: the cash cycle stretched 126 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 126 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 246-day cycle, in money terms.

09 · Where the cash goes

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).

WPIL Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 246 days in FY26, up from 120 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹284 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,855 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹5.1 Cr, so roughly ₹1,250 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 196 days, inventory at 285 days — roughly 9.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 246 days, looser than FY21's 120.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 285 days to sell; customers pay about 196 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 236 days — netting out to the 246-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,855 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹5.1 Cr — so the 246-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,250 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹284 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹104 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹2.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹185 Cr, work-in-progress ₹2.0 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 15%.

10 · Return on capital

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.

WPIL Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 7% in FY16. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 10.8% net margin on 0.57× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a FY16 trough of 7% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 10.8% net margin × 0.57× asset turns × 2.05× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 12.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 24% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.32.

11 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

WPIL Ltd carries ₹502 Cr of borrowings against ₹1,591 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.32. Operating profit covers the interest bill 7×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹312 Cr to ₹502 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹284 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹502 Cr against equity of ₹1,591 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.32. Operating profit covers the interest bill 7×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹312 Cr to ₹502 Cr while capital spending ran ₹284 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

13 · 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.

WPIL 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.

Related companies · same sector · Pumps Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.

What is WPIL Ltd's capex?

WPIL Ltd spent ₹284 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 ₹185 Cr, with ₹2.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

WPIL Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 17.0%, against a 13-year band of 7.0%–20.0%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran 15.0%. 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 WPIL Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −33% 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 WPIL Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: WPIL Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +19.7% in a year against a +3.1% 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.
