Andhra Paper Ltd
ANDHRAPAPAndhra Paper Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −8.1% in a year against EPS −79.0% — the market is paying now for delivery later.
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved −8.1% in a year while annual EPS moved −79.0% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.
The price is in a downtrend (99 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 89th percentile of its own 11-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +42.9% year on year, and 82% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.
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.
Andhra Paper Ltd trades at ₹73.4, in a downtrend and 99 weeks into that stage. That is +11.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 77% of a 52-week range of ₹59 to ₹78. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 2 straight weeks.
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 99 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹73.4 it trades +11.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 77% of its 52-week range (₹59–₹78).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +21% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 2 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.
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.
Andhra Paper Ltd trades at 52.8× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (89th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 11.6×, 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 52.8× is at the pricey end of its own range (89th percentile), against a long-run median of 11.6× 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.
🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −79.0% against a −8.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +9.7%/yr price move, ~−9.9%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+19.6 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +2.4%/yr price move, ~+1.8%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+0.6 pp from the multiple (roughly flat). 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 full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — the gap is a decision, not missing data.
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, Andhra Paper Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 34.7% a year. Profit itself has compounded −6.4% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 52.8× P/E, the 89th percentile of its own 11-year range.
What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is above 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.
Stage: Turning around 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).
Andhra Paper Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −84.2% at the trough to −66.3%, a 2-quarter improving streak, ROCE slipping at 0.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.
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.

4-Factor Sector Score
39.1/100 — rank 8 of 11 in Paper · 80% evidence confidence
Andhra Paper Ltd scores 39.1 out of 100 against the 11 companies it is compared with in Paper, ranking 8. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 11.8 + 6.5 + 8.5 + 12.3 = 39.1. 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.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Andhra Paper Ltd reported ₹394 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.3% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 4.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,701 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,702 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,701 Cr (+10.4% on the year), capping 10 years at 4.2% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹394 Cr, +0.3% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +5.5% growth against the decade's 4.2% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +5.2% over the last 4 quarters against +1.9%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit −66.3% vs −66.4%/yr — stabilising.
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.
Andhra Paper Ltd's operating margin is 12.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0% to 35.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 12.0%, +3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.0%–35.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +3.9 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.2 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Andhra Paper Ltd earned ₹30.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +42.9% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹19.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is −6.4%. That is 7.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹21.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Jun 26 profit was ₹30.0 Cr, +42.9% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹19.0 Cr (−78.7%), and the 10-year compound rate is −6.4%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +0.3% and the margin +3.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −30.3% vs revenue +5.5%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.
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 82% of Andhra Paper Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹104 Cr of operating cash against ₹19.0 Cr of profit. After ₹332 Cr of capital spending, ₹−228 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹104 Cr against reported profit of ₹19.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−228 Cr after ₹332 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 82% 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 82%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.
Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 3.6× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.
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).
Andhra Paper Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 68 days in FY26, up from 66 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹934 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,701 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹4.7 Cr, so roughly ₹317 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 33 days, inventory at 87 days — roughly 2.9 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 68 days, looser than FY21's 66.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 87 days to sell; customers pay about 33 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 53 days — netting out to the 68-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,701 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹4.7 Cr — so the 68-day loop keeps roughly ₹317 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹934 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹261 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹279 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.
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
Andhra Paper Ltd earns a ROCE of 0% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −1% in FY14. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −13.8 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 1.1% net margin on 0.67× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 0%, recovered from a FY14 trough of −1% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 1.1% net margin × 0.67× asset turns × 1.31× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 1.0% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: −1.8% − 12.0% = a −13.8 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. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.
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
Andhra Paper Ltd carries total debt of ₹232 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,939 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.12 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.05 in FY22 to 0.12 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹232 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,939 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.12. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.05 (FY22) to 0.12 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
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.
Domestic institutions added 2.9 points of Andhra Paper Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 5.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −2.0 points over the same window, to 0.3%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +2.9 points over 8 quarters to 5.5%; Foreign institutions: −2.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.3%; Promoters: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 72.5%.
Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions −2.0 points against domestic institutions +2.9 points over 8 quarters, with promoters holding steady — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.
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.
Andhra Paper 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.
