Alkem Laboratories Ltd

ALKEM
Pharma - Formulators

Alkem Laboratories 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: Foreign institutions moved +1.7 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (6 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 37th percentile of its own 11-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −22.0% year on year, and 91% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 5.6% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, the quarterly return curves, the annual return-on-invested-capital overlay, the total-debt and debt-to-equity series and the F-score and the return-on-invested-capital reading are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data. The quarterly history also begins where the primary source begins: 6 earlier quarters the second source carries are not spliced in front of it. Extending a reported profit series is stricter than showing a ratio chart — it needs a source that has been checked.
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.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd trades at ₹5,088, in a confirmed uptrend and 6 weeks into that stage. That is −6.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 0% of a 52-week range of ₹5,088 to ₹5,837. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (5 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 6 of stage 2. At ₹5,088 it trades −6.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 0% of its 52-week range (₹5,088–₹5,837).

Sep 26: ₹5,088 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Mar 16Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +272% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (5 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-08-07) — 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.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd trades at 26.8× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (37th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 28.3×, measured across 10.5 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 26.8× is mid-range by its own standards (37th percentile), against a long-run median of 28.3× measured over 10.5 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 26.8× vs a 28.3× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 10.5-year window; loss-period spikes above 40× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

37th percentile of 11y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +6.3% against a −6.6% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +6.0%/yr price move, ~+6.8%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−0.8 pp from the multiple (roughly flat); over 10y, of the +12.2%/yr price move, ~+11.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+1.0 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 unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 5.6% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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, Alkem Laboratories Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 15.5% a year. Profit itself has compounded 12.1% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 26.8× P/E, the 37th percentile of its own 11-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is unremarkable against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is close to 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: Mixed

Stage: Mixed 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).

Alkem Laboratories Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE lifting at 21.0% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +13.5% in FY26, profit +6.1% 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: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

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.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

05 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

45.1/100 — rank 23 of 44 in Pharma - Formulators · 82% evidence confidence

Alkem Laboratories Ltd scores 45.1 out of 100 against the 44 companies it is compared with in Pharma - Formulators, ranking 23. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 14.6 + 17.4 + 11.6 + 1.5 = 45.1. 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.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd reported ₹3,740 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +10.9% year on year. That is the 7th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 11.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹14,712 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹15,081 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹14,712 Cr (+13.5% on the year), capping 10 years at 11.6% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹3,740 Cr, +10.9% year on year — the 7th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +13.4% growth against the decade's 11.6% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +13.4% over the last 4 quarters against +8.8%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit −5.5% vs +3.1%/yr — rolling over.

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.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd's operating margin is 20.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 12.0% to 22.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 20.0%, −2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 12.0%–22.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.6 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd earned ₹521 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, −22.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹2,351 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 12.1%. That is 13.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹668 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹521 Cr, −22.0% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹2,351 Cr (+6.1%), and the 10-year compound rate is 12.1%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +10.9% and the margin −2.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −7.8% vs revenue +13.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches 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 91% of Alkem Laboratories Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹1,963 Cr of operating cash against ₹2,351 Cr of profit. After ₹1,135 Cr of capital spending, ₹828 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹1,963 Cr against reported profit of ₹2,351 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹828 Cr after ₹1,135 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 91% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY26: CFO ₹1,963 Cr vs profit ₹2,351 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 11-year window, annual resolution.

Why conversion sits at 91%: the cash cycle tightened 44 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.1× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

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).

Alkem Laboratories Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 152 days in FY26, down from 196 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹2,185 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹14,712 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹40.3 Cr, so roughly ₹6,127 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 74 days, inventory at 239 days — roughly 7.9 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 152 days, tighter than FY21's 196.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 239 days to sell; customers pay about 74 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 161 days — netting out to the 152-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹14,712 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹40.3 Cr — so the 152-day loop keeps roughly ₹6,127 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹2,185 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹1,038 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹282 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.

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.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd earns a ROCE of 21% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 12% in FY15. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 16.0% net margin on 0.71× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 21%, recovered from a FY15 trough of 12% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 16.0% net margin × 0.71× asset turns × 1.51× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 17.2% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 5.6% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Alkem Laboratories Ltd carries ₹2,047 Cr of borrowings against ₹13,820 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.15. Operating profit covers the interest bill 19×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹1,707 Cr to ₹2,047 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹2,185 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹2,047 Cr against equity of ₹13,820 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.15. Operating profit covers the interest bill 19×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹1,707 Cr to ₹2,047 Cr while capital spending ran ₹2,185 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 5.6% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

13 · Ownership

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 cut 6.7 points of Alkem Laboratories Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 49.7% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +4.1 points over the same window, to 22.6%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −6.7 points over 8 quarters to 49.7%; Domestic institutions: +4.1 points over 8 quarters to 22.6%; Foreign institutions: +1.7 points over 8 quarters to 10.4%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−6.7 points), absorbed on the other side by domestic institutions (+4.1 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −5.5 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

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.

Alkem Laboratories 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 could break the Alkem Laboratories Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: Foreign institutions moved +1.7 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.

Is Alkem Laboratories Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Alkem Laboratories Ltd's three tracks disagree.
