ANB Metal Cast Ltd
AMCLANB Metal Cast Ltd's multiple sits at its floor because earnings outran a hard multi-year rally — compression born of growth, not neglect. The quarters are still improving, and the P/E sits at the 15th percentile of its own 1-year range.
The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −114% 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 (44 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 15th percentile of its own 1-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +225.0% year on year, and −114% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.
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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd trades at ₹374, in a confirmed uptrend and 44 weeks into that stage. That is −1.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 60% of a 52-week range of ₹167 to ₹513. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (4 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 44 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹374 it trades −1.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 60% of its 52-week range (₹167–₹513).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 11 months the stock moved +124% while the NIFTY 500 moved +2% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (4 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-19) — 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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd trades at 20.6× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 15% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 27.5×, 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 20.6× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 15% of the time, against a long-run median of 27.5× 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 +52.7% against a +123.9% 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.
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).
ANB Metal Cast 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 4 quarters across 1 curve, 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
56.2/100 — rank 4 of 5 in Aluminium · 33% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers
ANB Metal Cast Ltd scores 56.2 out of 100 against the 5 companies it is compared with in Aluminium, ranking 4. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.8 + 19.4 + 10 + 10 = 56.2. 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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd reported ₹137 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +114.1% year on year. Over 4 years it has compounded at 44.9% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹225 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹388 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹225 Cr (+38.0% on the year), capping 4 years at 44.9% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹137 Cr, +114.1% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +51.5% growth against the decade's 44.9% — the current year is running faster 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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd's operating margin is 14.0% in the Mar 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 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0% to 14.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 14.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0%–14.0%, and FY26's 14.0% is the top of that band — a record year.
Why: the numbers show the operating margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.
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.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd earned ₹13.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +225.0% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹21.0 Cr. That is 9.5% of the quarter's revenue.
Mar 26 profit was ₹13.0 Cr, +225.0% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹21.0 Cr (+110.0%).
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 −114% of ANB Metal Cast Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−38.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹21.0 Cr of profit. After ₹6.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−44.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹−38.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹21.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−44.0 Cr after ₹6.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −114% 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 −114%: the cash cycle stretched 166 days between FY22 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 166 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.
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).
ANB Metal Cast Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 202 days in FY26, up from 36 days in FY22. Capital spending ran ₹16.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹225 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.6 Cr, so roughly ₹125 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 110 days, inventory at 138 days — roughly 4.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 202 days, looser than FY22's 36.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 138 days to sell; customers pay about 110 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 45 days — netting out to the 202-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹225 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.6 Cr — so the 202-day loop keeps roughly ₹125 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹16.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹3.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹6.0 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.
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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd earns a ROCE of 30% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 21% in FY23. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +5.3 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 9.3% net margin on 1.23× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 30%, recovered from a FY23 trough of 21% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 9.3% net margin × 1.23× asset turns × 1.85× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 21.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 17.3% − 12.0% = a +5.3 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.
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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd carries ₹47.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹99.0 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.47. Operating profit covers the interest bill 11×. Over 4 years borrowings went from ₹6.0 Cr to ₹47.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹16.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.
FY26: borrowings of ₹47.0 Cr against equity of ₹99.0 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.47. Operating profit covers the interest bill 11×. Over 4 years borrowings went from ₹6.0 Cr to ₹47.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹16.0 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.
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.
No holder of ANB Metal Cast Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

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.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd: the Z-score reads 5.63. 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 5.63 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 5.63.

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 ANB Metal Cast Ltd's capex?
ANB Metal Cast Ltd spent ₹16.0 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 ₹6.0 Cr, with ₹6.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 14 August 2026.
What is ANB Metal Cast Ltd's cash flow?
ANB Metal Cast Ltd consumed ₹38.0 Cr of operating cash in FY26 — cash flowed out rather than in (free cash flow: ₹−44.0 Cr). Operating cash was negative while the company reported a profit of ₹21.0 Cr. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 14 August 2026.
Is ANB Metal Cast Ltd's profit real cash?
No — operating cash was negative over the last 3 fiscal years: ANB Metal Cast Ltd consumed cash while reporting profit. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−38.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹21.0 Cr. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 14 August 2026.

ANB Metal Cast Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 14.0%, against a 5-year band of 1.0%–14.0%: 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 14.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 14 August 2026.
What could break the ANB Metal Cast Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −114% 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 14 August 2026.
Is ANB Metal Cast Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: ANB Metal Cast Ltd's multiple sits at its floor because earnings outran a hard multi-year rally — compression born of growth, not neglect. The quarters are still improving, and the P/E sits at the 15th percentile of its own 1-year range. The sharpest open question: whether the cash starts following the profit. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 14 August 2026.
