On the call for April to June 2026, held on 6 August 2026, Ajax Engineering's management guided: Nearly 60% of revenue typically falls in H2; Q2 seasonally soft and H2 customer sentiment and demand expected to improve.
“A 12.5% margin looks challenging at this point in time from a second-quarter perspective. As we move into the third quarter, and hopefully as volumes improve, some of that will start playing out, and we will return to the corridor of about 12-12.5%.”Shubhabrata Saha, on the call for April to June 2026
What management guided
- Operating margin: Q2 at 12-12.5% described as challenging; Q3 return to 12-12.5% as volumes improve; longer-term 12-15% corridor.
- Non-SLCM growth planned at 10-15% on a year earlier from the low base, with H2 better than H1 and B2B efforts contributing over the next 2 or 3 quarters.
- Export business expected to grow at a 30% yearly growth or more over the next 3 years through distribution, product availability and additional variants.
- Another calibrated price increase to be initiated within the current quarter; timing and quantum depend on the market environment.

Why profit moved: revenue changed +1.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.
On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −4.8% and revenue +7.2%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +7.2% on average, against 19.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.
How much of every ₹100 of sales does Ajax Engineering keep?
Ajax Engineering Ltd's operating margin was 12.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 years it has been between 12.0% and 18.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.
Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.
Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.4 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Is Ajax Engineering's profit turning into cash?
Over the last 3 years, 88% of Ajax Engineering Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹377 Cr of operating cash against ₹225 Cr of profit. After ₹30.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹347 Cr was left over as free cash.
The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.
Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.
FY26: operating cash ₹377 Cr against profit ₹225 Cr; 88% of 3 years' profit came in as cash
- Operating cash ₹377
- Net profit ₹225
- Free cash ₹347
| Quarter | Operating cash | Net profit | Free cash |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY20 | ₹131 | ₹100 | – |
| FY21 | ₹72 | ₹97 | −₹48 |
| FY22 | ₹85 | ₹66 | ₹26 |
| FY23 | ₹185 | ₹136 | ₹167 |
| FY24 | ₹207 | ₹225 | ₹186 |
| FY25 | ₹43 | ₹260 | ₹19 |
| FY26 | ₹377 | ₹225 | ₹347 |
FY26: operating cash was 168% of profit (88% over three years)
- Operating cash as % of profit 168%
- Break-even line 100%
| Quarter | Operating cash as % of profit | Break-even line |
|---|---|---|
| FY20 | 131% | 100% |
| FY21 | 74% | 100% |
| FY22 | 129% | 100% |
| FY23 | 136% | 100% |
| FY24 | 92% | 100% |
| FY25 | 17% | 100% |
| FY26 | 168% | 100% |
Why 88% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 103 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner.
What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.4× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.
Where does Ajax Engineering's cash go?
Ajax Engineering Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 12 days in FY26, down from 115 days in FY21. It spent ₹75.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 31 days to pay, and stock sits for 38 days on average.
Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.
At FY26 sales of ₹2,103 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹5.8 Cr, so roughly ₹69.0 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.
FY26: customers took 31 days to pay and stock sat for 38 days, about 1.3 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 12 days, shorter than FY21's 115.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 38 days. Customers pay about 31 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 57 days. Together that makes the 12-day cycle.
FY26: a 12-day cash cycle, −103 days compared with FY21
- Cash cycle 12d
- Inventory days 38d
- Debtor days 31d
- Payable days 57d
| Quarter | Cash cycle | Inventory days | Debtor days | Payable days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY20 | 74d | 108d | 28d | 62d |
| FY21 | 115d | 186d | 29d | 101d |
| FY22 | 102d | 115d | 26d | 39d |
| FY23 | 29d | 76d | 24d | 71d |
| FY24 | 24d | 65d | 18d | 60d |
| FY25 | 37d | 62d | 29d | 54d |
| FY26 | 12d | 38d | 31d | 57d |
Spending on assets: ₹75.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹31.0 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹35.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.
FY26: capex ₹30.0 Cr, work in progress ₹35.0 Cr, a build-out
- Capex ₹30.0
- Work-in-progress ₹35.0
| Quarter | Capex | Work-in-progress |
|---|---|---|
| FY21 | ₹120 | ₹1 |
| FY22 | ₹59 | ₹7 |
| FY23 | ₹18 | ₹6 |
| FY24 | ₹21 | ₹17 |
| FY25 | ₹24 | ₹21 |
| FY26 | ₹30 | ₹35 |
In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.
What is Ajax Engineering's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history?
Ajax Engineering Ltd's P/E is 27.8×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 36% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 28.8×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.
P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.
The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹19.92.

PEG 1.67: above 1.0, so the P/E is bigger than the earnings growth rate
- PEG 1.67×

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −13.4% while the price moved −5.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range.
In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.
Is the Ajax Engineering business getting better or worse?
Ajax Engineering Ltd's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 8 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps.
Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.
One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.
There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

How much does Ajax Engineering earn on its capital?
Ajax Engineering Ltd earned a ROCE of 24% in FY26. That is up from a low of 17% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 43.2 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 10.7% net margin and 1.20× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).
Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it, from shareholders and lenders together. It is the best single test of whether growth adds value or just size.
Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 10.7% net margin × 1.20× asset turnover × 1.26× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 16.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed.
The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 55.2% − 12.0% = +43.2 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each rupee put back into the business creates more than a rupee of value.
The 55.2% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 47.3%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Does Ajax Engineering have too much debt?
Ajax Engineering Ltd has total debt of ₹2.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,392 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.00× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.01 in FY24 to 0.00 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money.
Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

What is the Ajax Engineering shareholding pattern?
Domestic institutions raised their stake in Ajax Engineering Ltd by 3.3 percentage points over 6 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 11.2% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −1.9 points over the same period, to 4.1%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings.
Who owns the company each quarter: promoters (the founders or controlling owners), foreign institutions, domestic institutions such as mutual funds, and the public. When people close to the business steadily raise their stake, that is worth noticing; a quiet list is also an answer.
Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +3.3 points over 6 quarters, to 11.2%; Foreign institutions: −1.9 points over 6 quarters, to 4.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 6 quarters, to 80.0%.
Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −1.9 points and domestic institutions +3.3 points over 6 quarters, while promoters stayed about the same. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company.
Year ends: domestic institutions +2.2 points from Mar 2025 to Mar 2026

How far is Ajax Engineering from balance-sheet trouble?
For Ajax Engineering Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date.
The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
