AB Cotspin India Ltd
ABCOTSAB Cotspin India Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
The sharpest disagreement: Promoters moved +17.6 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.
The price is topping out (16 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 76th percentile of its own 1-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −19.7% year on year, and −282% of the last 2 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour.
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.
AB Cotspin India Ltd trades at ₹403, losing momentum at the top and 16 weeks into that stage. That is −2.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 24% of a 52-week range of ₹384 to ₹465. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 10 straight weeks.
Today the stock is losing momentum at the top — week 16 of stage 3, confirmed. At ₹403 it trades −2.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 24% of its 52-week range (₹384–₹465).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4.2 years the stock moved +764% while the NIFTY 500 moved +39% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 10 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.
AB Cotspin India Ltd trades at 67.2× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 48.9×, measured across 1.3 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 67.2× is at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile), against a long-run median of 48.9× measured over 1.3 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 −4.5% against a −13.5% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
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 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.
What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.
At its price on 13 June 2026, AB Cotspin India Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 33.1% a year. Profit itself has compounded 123.6% a year over the past 2 years. The market pays that at 67.2× P/E, the 76th percentile of its own 1-year range.
What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered. Both readings sit on the same earnings, so they are one reading rather than two.
How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements. Every other number on this page is read off the live quote.
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).
AB Cotspin India 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 5 quarters across 0 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.

4-Factor Sector Score
49.0/100 — rank 1 of 2 in Textiles - Spinning/Cotton/Blended · 63% evidence confidence
AB Cotspin India Ltd scores 49.0 out of 100 against the 2 companies it is compared with in Textiles - Spinning/Cotton/Blended, 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: 16.4 + 11.9 + 10 + 10.7 = 49. 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.
AB Cotspin India Ltd reported ₹77.2 Cr of revenue in the Dec 25 quarter, +30.4% year on year. Over 2 years it has compounded at 32.8% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at ₹298 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹280 Cr.
FY25 revenue came in at ₹298 Cr (+16.4% on the year), capping 2 years at 32.8% compound. The latest quarter (Dec 25) printed ₹77.2 Cr, +30.4% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −0.9% growth against the decade's 32.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
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.
AB Cotspin India Ltd's operating margin is 12.2% in the Dec 25 quarter, −2.8 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 3 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0% to 10.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 12.2%, −2.8 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 3 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0%–10.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −2.8 pp year on year while gross margin went −2.2 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
AB Cotspin India Ltd earned ₹3.3 Cr of net profit in the Dec 25 quarter, −19.7% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was ₹10.0 Cr. The 2-year compound rate is 123.6%. That is 4.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹4.1 Cr.
Dec 25 profit was ₹3.3 Cr, −19.7% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed ₹10.0 Cr (+42.9%), and the 2-year compound rate is 123.6%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +30.4% and the margin −2.8 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +45.4% vs revenue −0.9%. 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 2 fiscal years −282% of AB Cotspin India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY25 that was ₹−16.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹10.0 Cr of profit. After ₹36.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−52.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of ₹−16.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹10.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−52.0 Cr after ₹36.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 2 fiscal years the conversion rate is −282% 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 −282%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY24 and FY25 — 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: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 4.0× 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).
AB Cotspin India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 182 days in FY25, up from 174 days in FY24. Capital spending ran ₹36.0 Cr over the last 1 years. At FY25 sales of ₹298 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.8 Cr, so roughly ₹149 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY25: debtors at 59 days, inventory at 127 days — roughly 4.2 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 182 days, looser than FY24's 174.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 127 days to sell; customers pay about 59 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 3 days — netting out to the 182-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY25 sales of ₹298 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.8 Cr — so the 182-day loop keeps roughly ₹149 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹36.0 Cr over the last 1 fiscal years against ₹9.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹33.0 Cr (FY25) — 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.⚠ unverified
AB Cotspin India Ltd earns a ROCE of 10% in FY25. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −5.5 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 3.4% net margin on 1.03× asset turns.
FY25 ROCE is 10%.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 3.4% net margin × 1.03× asset turns × 2.59× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 9.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 6.5% − 12.0% = a −5.5 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. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.
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
AB Cotspin India Ltd carries total debt of ₹147 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹153 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.96. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.79 in FY22 to 0.96 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹147 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹153 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.96. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.79 (FY22) to 0.96 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
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 17.6 points of AB Cotspin India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 52.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +0.1 points over the same window, to 0.1%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Promoters: +17.6 points over 8 quarters to 52.5%; Foreign institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.1%.
Why the register moved: promoters drove it (+17.6 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.
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.
AB Cotspin 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.

What is AB Cotspin India Ltd's cash flow?
AB Cotspin India Ltd consumed ₹16.0 Cr of operating cash in FY25 — cash flowed out rather than in (free cash flow: ₹−52.0 Cr). Operating cash was negative while the company reported a profit of ₹10.0 Cr. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 14 August 2026.

At its price on 13 June 2026, AB Cotspin India Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 33.1% a year. Profit itself has compounded 123.6% a year over the past 2 years. The figure reads the multiple backwards: the growth a buyer at that price was already paying for. — as of 14 August 2026.
What could break the AB Cotspin India Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: Promoters moved +17.6 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced. 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 AB Cotspin India Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: AB Cotspin India Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it. The sharpest open question: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 14 August 2026.
