Companies: 3 Combined market value: ₹7.5K Cr ## 4-Factor Sector Score An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment. 1. CFF Fluid Control Ltd (543920): 73/100 — Favorable setup; evidence 63% - Growth & earnings 23.3/35 | Capital efficiency 22.0/25 | Valuation 11.0/20 | Relative strength 16.5/20 - Price stage: LEADER — Ahead of the benchmark 13 weeks or more running, and ahead over the past year. - Led NIFTY 500 by 5%+ over the prior 13 weeks in 12 of the last 12 weeks - Exact sum: 23.3 + 22 + 11 + 16.5 = 72.8 - Decision use: Confirmed research leader: earnings, capital efficiency and relative strength agree. Move to management, catalyst and risk diligence. 2. Marine Electricals (India) Ltd (MARINE): 66/100 — Favorable setup; evidence 97% - Growth & earnings 29.4/35 | Capital efficiency 15.3/25 | Valuation 11.9/20 | Relative strength 9.7/20 - Price stage: LEADER — Ahead of the benchmark 13 weeks or more running, and ahead over the past year. - Led NIFTY 500 by 5%+ over the prior 13 weeks in 12 of the last 12 weeks - Exact sum: 29.4 + 15.3 + 11.9 + 9.7 = 66.3 - Decision use: Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction. 3. Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd (KRISHNADEF): 64/100 — Mixed-positive evidence; evidence 76% - Growth & earnings 24.0/35 | Capital efficiency 21.5/25 | Valuation 12.5/20 | Relative strength 5.6/20 - Price stage: BREAKING OUT — Ahead of the benchmark five weeks or more running, with its lead holding or widening. - Led NIFTY 500 by 5%+ over the prior 13 weeks in 9 of the last 12 weeks - Exact sum: 24 + 21.5 + 12.5 + 5.6 = 63.6 - Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -6.6% and the one-year return is 46.4%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth. ## Market action CFF Fluid Control Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Shipping - Proxy at +50.5%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +40.6%. 3 of 3 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-07-31. ### Strongest one-year price performers 1. CFF Fluid Control Ltd (543920): 51% 2. Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd (KRISHNADEF): 46% 3. Marine Electricals (India) Ltd (MARINE): 40% ### Strongest relative strength versus NIFTY 500 1. CFF Fluid Control Ltd (543920): 41% 2. Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd (KRISHNADEF): 22% 3. Marine Electricals (India) Ltd (MARINE): 22% ## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability What the numbers say: Marine Electricals (India) Ltd is the scale leader at ₹876 crore, 146.8% ahead of CFF Fluid Control Ltd. CFF Fluid Control Ltd's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 100.6% from a ₹355 crore base, with 8 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: Marine Electricals (India) Ltd is the scale benchmark; CFF Fluid Control Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: Marine Electricals (India) Ltd's growth falls below CFF Fluid Control Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses. Evidence: Marine Electricals (India) Ltd · ₹876 crore | 146.8% versus #2 · CFF Fluid Control Ltd | 8/8 recent comparable periods | 3/3 companies · 38 observations Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress. ### Revenue — largest 1. Marine Electricals (India) Ltd (MARINE): ₹876 Cr 2. CFF Fluid Control Ltd (543920): ₹355 Cr 3.

Investor read: CFF Fluid Control Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

Evidence: CFF Fluid Control Ltd · 28% | 12% versus #2 · Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd | 3/6 recent comparable periods | 3/3 companies · 38 observations Definition: Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue.

CFF Fluid Control Ltd shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (133.3% uncapped) growth from a ₹63 crore profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.

Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +8.8 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability. Investor read: Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal. Evidence: Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd · 30.7% | 30.6% versus #2 · CFF Fluid Control Ltd | 5/8 recent comparable periods | 3/3 companies · 33 observations Definition: ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability. ### ROCE — highest 1. Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd (KRISHNADEF): 31% 2.

Only 1 of 3 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal. Evidence: Marine Electricals (India) Ltd · 1.09× | Not enough peers | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 1/3 companies · 11 observations Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing. ### PEG — lowest PEG 1.

The page keeps level and change separate for that reason. - A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment. - The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed. - An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion. - 1 company draws at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears. - Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings. ## Every company - Marine Electricals (India) Ltd (MARINE) — market value ₹3.7K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026 - CFF Fluid Control Ltd (543920) — market value ₹2.0K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026 - Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd (KRISHNADEF) — market value ₹1.8K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026; includes UNVERIFIED second-feed figures ## Source standing of each company Cross-checked: 1. Unverified: 2. Withheld: 0. Graded companies: 3. 1 of 3 companies draws at least one figure from a second data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source, because the two do not share enough reported history to compare. Those figures are marked unverified wherever they appear. - UNVERIFIED | KRISHNADEF | Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd | too little overlapping reported history to cross-check the second feed ## Methodology and freshness Fundamentals through Mar 2026; prices through 2026-07-31.

Marine Electricals (India) Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.09, among 1 of 3 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything. ### How much history does this Shipping - Proxy comparison include? The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Mar 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated. ### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated? The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral. ### What is the Nifty Shipping - Proxy index? The Nifty Shipping - Proxy index tracks India's listed Shipping - Proxy companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 3 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Shipping - Proxy sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Mar 2026. ### Which are the best Shipping - Proxy stocks in India? Ranked by this page's four-factor score, CFF Fluid Control Ltd places first among 3 listed Shipping - Proxy companies, followed by Marine Electricals (India) Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Mar 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser. ### How many Shipping - Proxy stocks are listed in India? This comparison covers 3 listed Shipping - Proxy companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Mar 2026. ### Which Shipping - Proxy company is the biggest? Marine Electricals (India) Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹876 crore, ahead of CFF Fluid Control Ltd at ₹355 crore. That covers 3 of 3 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026. ### Which Shipping - Proxy company has the best profit margins? CFF Fluid Control Ltd has the highest operating margin at 28%, from 3 of 3 comparable companies. Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +2 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking. ### Which Shipping - Proxy company makes the most profit? CFF Fluid Control Ltd earns the most, at ₹63 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 3 of 3 comparable companies. CFF Fluid Control Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed. ### Which Shipping - Proxy company earns the highest return on capital? Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 30.7%, across 3 of 3 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year. ### Which Shipping - Proxy stock is the cheapest? On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Marine Electricals (India) Ltd screens cheapest at 1.09×. Only 1 of 3 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own. ### Is the Shipping - Proxy sector beating the market? Shipping - Proxy has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 51.3% over the last 52 weeks and 13.8% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 3 of 3 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it. ### Which Shipping - Proxy stock has the strongest price momentum? CFF Fluid Control Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all. ### Which Shipping - Proxy company scores highest for research priority? CFF Fluid Control Ltd scores 72.8 out of 100 with 62.6% evidence confidence, from 23.3 points on growth and earnings, 22 on capital efficiency, 11 on valuation and 16.5 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research. ### How many Shipping - Proxy companies does this comparison cover, and over what period? It compares 3 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Mar 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### What is the total market cap of the Shipping - Proxy sector? The 3 Shipping - Proxy companies on this page carry ₹7,507 crore of combined market value. Marine Electricals (India) Ltd is the largest at ₹3,723 crore, about 50% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-05. ### How is the Shipping - Proxy sector performing? 3 of the 3 covered Shipping - Proxy companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 51.3% ahead of NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-05. ### Why are some values on this page blank? A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad. ### Is this investment advice? No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
