Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd

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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd trades at ₹116, in a confirmed uptrend and 7 weeks into that stage. That is +17.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 87% of a 52-week range of ₹78 to ₹122. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 6 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 7 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹116 it trades +17.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 87% of its 52-week range (₹78–₹122).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +811% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 6 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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd trades at 14.4× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (48th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 14.7×, measured across 9.9 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 14.4× is mid-range by its own standards (48th percentile), against a long-run median of 14.7× measured over 9.9 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 +0.1% against a +0.4% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the −1.5%/yr price move, ~−13.5%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+12.0 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +23.3%/yr price move, ~+28.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−5.3 pp from the multiple (compressing). 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.

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).

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE lifting at 26.0% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

4-Factor Sector Score

70.3/100 — rank 1 of 7 in Petrochem - Polymers · 87% evidence confidence

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd scores 70.3 out of 100 against the 7 companies it is compared with in Petrochem - Polymers, ranking 1. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.5 + 17.9 + 15.9 + 15 = 70.3. 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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd reported ₹472 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +53.2% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 9.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,276 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,440 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,276 Cr (−8.7% on the year), capping 10 years at 9.2% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹472 Cr, +53.2% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +7.0% growth against the decade's 9.2% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +5.4% over the last 4 quarters against +6.6%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +15.6% vs +5.1%/yr — accelerating.

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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd's operating margin is 17.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.1% to 35.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 17.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.1%–35.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.4 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.3 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd earned ₹66.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +43.5% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹180 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 27.4%. That is 14.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹46.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹66.0 Cr, +43.5% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹180 Cr (+0.0%), and the 10-year compound rate is 27.4%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +53.2% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +15.7% vs revenue +7.0%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to 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 94% of Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹168 Cr of operating cash against ₹180 Cr of profit. After ₹24.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹144 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹168 Cr against reported profit of ₹180 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹144 Cr after ₹24.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 94% 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 94%: the cash cycle tightened 37 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 1.9× 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).

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 86 days in FY26, down from 123 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹51.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,276 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹3.5 Cr, so roughly ₹301 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 73 days, inventory at 79 days — roughly 2.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 86 days, tighter than FY21's 123.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 79 days to sell; customers pay about 73 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 65 days — netting out to the 86-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,276 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹3.5 Cr — so the 86-day loop keeps roughly ₹301 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹51.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹27.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹31.0 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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd earns a ROCE of 24% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 18% in FY16. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +13.2 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 14.1% net margin on 0.99× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 24%, recovered from a FY16 trough of 18% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 14.1% net margin × 0.99× asset turns × 1.19× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 16.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 25.2% − 12.0% = a +13.2 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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd carries ₹0.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹1,083 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.00. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹0.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹51.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹0.0 Cr against equity of ₹1,083 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.00. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹0.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹51.0 Cr in just the last 3 — the build-out is being paid for out of cash, not debt.

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 Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Domestic institutions moved −0.1 points over the same window, to 0.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −0.7 points over 8 quarters to 1.4%; Domestic institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 57.5%.

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.

Bhansali Engineering Polymers 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.
