Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals is on 2 of our India lists: Momentum stocks and Pharma stocks. - [Momentum stocks Market cap cr: 11828.653136531364](https://www.sectoralpha.in/momentum-stocks-india) - [Pharma stocks Market value (₹ crore): 11828.653136531364](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sectors/pharma-stocks-india) ## Is Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals profitable? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd earned ₹101 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +55.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹256 Cr. Over 11 years profit has grown 17.6% a year on average. That is 8.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹65.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹256 Cr (−25.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +14.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −5.8% and revenue +9.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals make, and is it growing? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd reported ₹1,167 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +14.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 11 years it has grown 10.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,359 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,503 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹4,359 Cr, +5.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.3% on average, against 10.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +9.2%, against +3.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −15.8%, against +8.3% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals keep? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd's operating margin was 15.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 9 years it has been between −2.4% and 12.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.5 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 357% of Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,181 Cr of operating cash against ₹256 Cr of profit. After ₹228 Cr of spending on assets, ₹953 Cr was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 357% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle. What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.0× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals' cash go? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 89 days in FY26, down from 90 days in FY21. It spent ₹867 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 67 days to pay, and stock sits for 110 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹4,359 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹11.9 Cr, so roughly ₹1,063 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 67 days to pay and stock sat for 110 days, about 3.6 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 89 days, shorter than FY21's 90. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 110 days. Customers pay about 67 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 87 days. Together that makes the 89-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹867 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹434 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 ₹177 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. 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 Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd's P/E is 38.8×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 73% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 27.2×, 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. 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 ₹18.53. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −24.6% while the price moved +65.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 4.7% on reported income across 13 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Is the Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals business getting better or worse? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals 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 9 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. 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. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals earn on its capital? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd earned a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a low of −16% in FY22. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 5.9% net margin and 0.80× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 5.9% net margin × 0.80× asset turnover × 1.64× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The quarterly return lines and the return-on-capital-used (ROIC) line, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 4.7% on reported income across 13 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals have too much debt? Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd had ₹157 Cr of borrowings against ₹3,314 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.05× its equity. Its operating profit is 6 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹130 Cr to ₹157 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹867 Cr on assets. Part of the spending on assets is being paid for with borrowed money. The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 4.7% on reported income across 13 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## What is the Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions raised their stake in Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd by 3.6 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 11.1% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −2.8 points over the same period, to 4.5%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +3.6 points over 8 quarters, to 11.1%; Foreign institutions: −2.8 points over 8 quarters, to 4.5%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 75.3%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −2.8 points and domestic institutions +3.6 points over 8 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. ## How far is Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals from balance-sheet trouble? For Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals 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. ## How does Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals rank in its industry? 50.9 out of 100, rank 22 of 44 in Pharma - Formulators, with 71% of the evidence available. Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd scores 50.9 out of 100 against the 44 companies it is compared with in Pharma - Formulators, ranking 22. Relative strength against the index is 34.1%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 13.5 + 10.9 + 9.8 + 16.7 = 50.9. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals compared with?

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 Sep 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.
