3M India Ltd
3MINDIA3M India Ltd is strength at full price. The numbers are improving — and a P/E at the 82nd percentile of its own range says the market knows.
The sharpest disagreement: the engine is strong, but at the 82nd percentile of its own range you are paying full price for it.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (5 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 82nd percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +30.9% year on year, and 96% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the earnings grow into the multiple.
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.
3M India Ltd trades at ₹35,340, in a confirmed uptrend and 5 weeks into that stage. That is +5.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 74% of a 52-week range of ₹29,135 to ₹37,505. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 7 straight weeks.
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 5 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹35,340 it trades +5.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 74% of its 52-week range (₹29,135–₹37,505).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +228% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 7 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.
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.
3M India Ltd trades at 90.3× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (82nd percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 72.5×, measured across 10.0 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 90.3× is at the pricey end of its own range (82nd percentile), against a long-run median of 72.5× measured over 10.0 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 +9.7% against a +16.4% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +8.0%/yr price move, ~+15.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−7.2 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +10.4%/yr price move, ~+7.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+3.1 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.
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).
3M India Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −17.0% at the trough to +16.1%, a 3-quarter improving streak, ROCE lifting at 47.5%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
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.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +14.5% | +10.9% | +16.0% | +9.1% |
| Profit | +9.7% | +7.9% | +28.5% | +10.3% |

4-Factor Sector Score
54.6/100 — rank 6 of 20 in Diversified · 94% evidence confidence
3M India Ltd scores 54.6 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Diversified, ranking 6. Strong business, demanding price: keep it on the quality list, but require either earnings upgrades or valuation compression.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.3 + 18.8 + 4.3 + 10.2 = 54.6. 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.
3M India Ltd reported ₹1,423 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +19.0% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 9.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹5,090 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,316 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹5,090 Cr (+14.5% on the year), capping 10 years at 9.1% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹1,423 Cr, +19.0% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +15.6% growth against the decade's 9.1% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +15.7% over the last 4 quarters against +13.5%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +16.1% vs −1.9%/yr — accelerating.
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.
3M India Ltd's operating margin is 17.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0% to 19.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 17.0%, −3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0%–19.0%, and FY26's 19.0% is the top of that band — a record year.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −3.5 pp year on year while gross margin went −4.7 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
3M India Ltd earned ₹233 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +30.9% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹522 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 10.3%. That is 16.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹178 Cr.
Jun 26 profit was ₹233 Cr, +30.9% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹522 Cr (+9.7%), and the 10-year compound rate is 10.3%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +19.0% and the margin −3.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +30.5% vs revenue +15.6%. 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.
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 96% of 3M India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹514 Cr of operating cash against ₹522 Cr of profit. After ₹135 Cr of capital spending, ₹379 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹514 Cr against reported profit of ₹522 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹379 Cr after ₹135 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 96% 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 96%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.
Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 1.9× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.
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).
3M India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 60 days in FY26, down from 60 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹323 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹5,090 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹13.9 Cr, so roughly ₹837 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 60 days, inventory at 102 days — roughly 3.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 60 days, tighter than FY21's 60.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 102 days to sell; customers pay about 60 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 102 days — netting out to the 60-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹5,090 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹13.9 Cr — so the 60-day loop keeps roughly ₹837 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹323 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹171 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹14.0 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.
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.
3M India Ltd earns a ROCE of 50% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 9% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +38.8 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 10.3% net margin on 1.62× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 50%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 9% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 10.3% net margin × 1.62× asset turns × 1.77× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 29.5% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 50.8% − 12.0% = a +38.8 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.
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.
3M India Ltd carries total debt of ₹170 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,768 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.10 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.01 in FY22 to 0.10 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹170 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,768 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.10. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.01 (FY22) to 0.10 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
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.
No holder of 3M India Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Domestic institutions moved −0.1 points over the same window, to 8.2%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 3.5%; Domestic institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 8.2%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 75.0%.
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.
3M India 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.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Will 3M India Ltd's share price go up?
This page publishes no price forecast for 3M India Ltd. What it measures instead: the share price is ₹35,340, the price is in a confirmed uptrend 5 weeks in. Its P/E of 90.3× sits at the 82nd percentile of its own 10-year range. — as of 14 August 2026.

Promoters hold 75.0% of 3M India Ltd, foreign institutions 3.5%, domestic institutions 8.2% and the public 13.3% (latest quarter). No holder moved a full point over the last two years — the register is quiet. — as of 14 August 2026.
Does 3M India Ltd have too much debt?
No — 3M India Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.10, and operating profit covers the interest bill 22×. FY26 borrowings were ₹170 Cr against equity of ₹1,768 Cr. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 14 August 2026.
What is 3M India Ltd's capex?
3M India Ltd spent ₹323 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 ₹135 Cr, with ₹14.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 14 August 2026.
What is 3M India Ltd's cash flow?
3M India Ltd generated ₹514 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹379 Cr of free cash flow after ₹135 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹522 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 14 August 2026.
Is 3M India Ltd's profit real cash?
Yes — over the last 3 fiscal years, 96% of 3M India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹514 Cr against reported profit of ₹522 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 14 August 2026.
Where is 3M India Ltd in its business cycle?
3M India Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 19.0%, against a 13-year band of 6.0%–19.0%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran 17.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 14 August 2026.
What could break the 3M India Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: the engine is strong, but at the 82nd percentile of its own range you are paying full price for it. 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 14 August 2026.
Is 3M India Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: 3M India Ltd is strength at full price. The numbers are improving — and a P/E at the 82nd percentile of its own range says the market knows. The sharpest open question: whether the earnings grow into the multiple. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 14 August 2026.
