Advance Agrolife Ltd

ADVANCE
Pesticides/Agrochemicals

Advance Agrolife Ltd is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 34th percentile of its own 1-year range — the business is moving before the market.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −57% 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 (4 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 34th percentile of its own 1-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +155.6% year on year, and −57% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified.
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.

Advance Agrolife Ltd trades at ₹118, in a confirmed uptrend and 4 weeks into that stage. That is +3.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 46% of a 52-week range of ₹93 to ₹148. 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 in a confirmed uptrend — week 4 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹118 it trades +3.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 46% of its 52-week range (₹93–₹148).

Oct 25Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 11 months the stock moved +7% while the NIFTY 500 moved −2% — 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.

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.

Advance Agrolife Ltd trades at 15.5× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 34% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 17.5×, measured across 0.9 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 15.5× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 34% of the time, against a long-run median of 17.5× measured over 0.9 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: margins are the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −3.7% against a +6.9% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

Put together: the multiple is low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · What the price assumes

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.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, Advance Agrolife Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 10.0% a year. Profit itself has compounded 31.2% a year over the past 5 years. Today the market pays 15.5× P/E, the 34th percentile of its own 1-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is low against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. 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.

04 · Stage: No read

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).

Advance Agrolife 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 1 curve, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +28.2% in FY26, profit +34.6% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

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.

05 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

56.9/100 — rank 6 of 24 in Pesticides/Agrochemicals · 60% evidence confidence

Advance Agrolife Ltd scores 56.9 out of 100 against the 24 companies it is compared with in Pesticides/Agrochemicals, ranking 6. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.3 + 14.8 + 10.8 + 10 = 56.9. 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.

06 · Revenue

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

Advance Agrolife Ltd reported ₹330 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +95.3% year on year. That is the 5th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 5 years it has compounded at 25.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹636 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹800 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹636 Cr (+28.2% on the year), capping 5 years at 25.5% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹330 Cr, +95.3% year on year — the 5th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +44.6% growth against the decade's 25.5% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

07 · 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.

Advance Agrolife Ltd's operating margin is 11.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 6 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 11.0%, +1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0%–10.0%, and FY26's 10.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.5 pp year on year while gross margin went −2.2 pp — the gain 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.

08 · Net profit

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

Advance Agrolife Ltd earned ₹23.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +155.6% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹35.0 Cr. The 5-year compound rate is 31.2%. That is 7.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹9.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹23.0 Cr, +155.6% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹35.0 Cr (+34.6%), and the 5-year compound rate is 31.2%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +95.3% and the margin +1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +192.5% vs revenue +44.6%. 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.

09 · 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 −57% of Advance Agrolife Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−70.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹35.0 Cr of profit. After ₹39.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−109 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−70.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹35.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−109 Cr after ₹39.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −57% 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 −57%: the cash cycle stretched 28 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 28 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

10 · 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).

Advance Agrolife Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 110 days in FY26, up from 82 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹104 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹636 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.7 Cr, so roughly ₹192 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 113 days, inventory at 154 days — roughly 5.1 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 110 days, looser than FY21's 82.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 154 days to sell; customers pay about 113 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 156 days — netting out to the 110-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹636 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.7 Cr — so the 110-day loop keeps roughly ₹192 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹104 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹22.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹22.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

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

11 · 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.⚠ unverified

Advance Agrolife Ltd earns a ROCE of 20% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +3.4 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 5.5% net margin on 1.02× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 20%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.5% net margin × 1.02× asset turns × 2.02× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 15.4% − 12.0% = a +3.4 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. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.

12 · Debt

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

Advance Agrolife Ltd carries total debt of ₹98.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹310 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.32. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.79 in FY25 to 0.32 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

14 · 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.

Advance Agrolife Ltd: the Z-score reads 3.76. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.76 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 3.76.

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.

That is a percentile read against the stock's own past, not a price opinion or a direction call.

Will Advance Agrolife Ltd's share price go up?

This page publishes no price forecast for Advance Agrolife Ltd. What it measures instead: the share price is ₹118, the price is in a confirmed uptrend 4 weeks in. Its P/E of 15.5× sits at the 34th percentile of its own 1-year range. — as of 11 September 2026.

Who owns Advance Agrolife Ltd?

Promoters hold 69.9% of Advance Agrolife Ltd, foreign institutions 3.8%, domestic institutions 2.1% and the public 24.2% (latest quarter). No holder moved a full point over the last two years — the register is quiet. — as of 11 September 2026.

Does Advance Agrolife Ltd have too much debt?

It is moderate — Advance Agrolife Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.32, and operating profit covers the interest bill 7×. FY26 borrowings were ₹98.0 Cr against equity of ₹310 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 11 September 2026.

What is Advance Agrolife Ltd's capex?

Advance Agrolife Ltd spent ₹104 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 ₹39.0 Cr, with ₹22.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 11 September 2026.

What is Advance Agrolife Ltd's cash flow?

Advance Agrolife Ltd consumed ₹70.0 Cr of operating cash in FY26 — cash flowed out rather than in (free cash flow: ₹−109 Cr). Operating cash was negative while the company reported a profit of ₹35.0 Cr. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 11 September 2026.

Is Advance Agrolife Ltd's profit real cash?

No — operating cash was negative over the last 3 fiscal years: Advance Agrolife Ltd consumed cash while reporting profit. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−70.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹35.0 Cr. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 11 September 2026.

How financially safe is Advance Agrolife Ltd?

On the balance sheet, the Z-score reads 3.76 — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the distress zone. That sits well clear of trouble. — as of 11 September 2026.

Where is Advance Agrolife Ltd in its business cycle?

Advance Agrolife Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 10.0%, against a 6-year band of 6.0%–10.0%: 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 11.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 11 September 2026.

What growth does Advance Agrolife Ltd's price assume?

At its price on 13 June 2026, Advance Agrolife Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 10.0% a year. Profit itself has compounded 31.2% a year over the past 5 years. The figure reads the multiple backwards: the growth a buyer at that price was already paying for. — as of 11 September 2026.

What could break the Advance Agrolife Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −57% 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 11 September 2026.

Is Advance Agrolife Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Advance Agrolife Ltd is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 34th percentile of its own 1-year range — the business is moving before the market.
