Cantabil Retail India 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.

Cantabil Retail India Ltd trades at ₹237, in a downtrend and 2 weeks into that stage. That is −3.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 27% of a 52-week range of ₹211 to ₹305. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 7 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 2 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹237 it trades −3.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 27% of its 52-week range (₹211–₹305).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.6 years the stock moved +1,638% while the NIFTY 500 moved +268% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 7 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.

Cantabil Retail India Ltd trades at 20.3× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 11% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 29.0×, measured across 10.6 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 20.3× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 11% of the time, against a long-run median of 29.0× measured over 10.6 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 +27.9% against a −6.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +14.4%/yr price move, ~+44.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−30.0 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +32.4%/yr price move, ~+35.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−3.3 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 low 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, Cantabil Retail India Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 10.9% a year. Profit itself has compounded 34.4% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 20.3× P/E, the 11th percentile of its own 11-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is low against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below 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 25 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: Consistent 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).

Cantabil Retail India Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROCE at 19.0% and holding. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.

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

No sector-relative score — Cantabil Retail India Ltd is score temporarily unavailable — [mlaSectorData] ambiguous sector slug "textiles-readymade-apparel": Textiles - Readymade Apparel, Textiles Readymade Apparel for undefined.

The score is a rank WITHIN a peer set: every metric is scored by percentile against the other members. Without the peer set there is no score to state, so none is invented here.

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Cantabil Retail India Ltd reported ₹179 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +12.6% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 18.9% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹853 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹872 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹853 Cr (+18.3% on the year), capping 10 years at 18.9% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹179 Cr, +12.6% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +15.7% growth against the decade's 18.9% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +15.8% over the last 4 quarters against +17.4%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +22.8% vs +26.1%/yr — rolling over.

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.

Cantabil Retail India Ltd's operating margin is 33.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −3.0% to 31.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 33.0%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −3.0%–31.0%, and FY26's 31.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.9 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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.

Cantabil Retail India Ltd earned ₹16.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +6.7% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹96.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 34.4%. That is 8.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹15.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹16.0 Cr, +6.7% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹96.0 Cr (+28.0%), and the 10-year compound rate is 34.4%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +12.6% and the margin +2.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +16.3% vs revenue +15.7%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.

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 207% of Cantabil Retail India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹199 Cr of operating cash against ₹96.0 Cr of profit. After ₹255 Cr of capital spending, ₹−56.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹199 Cr against reported profit of ₹96.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−56.0 Cr after ₹255 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 207% 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 207%: 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 2.5× 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).

Cantabil Retail India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 361 days in FY26, up from 359 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹612 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹853 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹2.3 Cr, so roughly ₹844 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 5 days, inventory at 449 days — roughly 14.8 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 361 days, looser than FY21's 359.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 449 days to sell; customers pay about 5 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 93 days — netting out to the 361-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹853 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹2.3 Cr — so the 361-day loop keeps roughly ₹844 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹612 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹242 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹12.0 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.⚠ unverified

Cantabil Retail India Ltd earns a ROCE of 19% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −4% in FY14. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +0.9 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 11.3% net margin on 0.73× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 19%, recovered from a FY14 trough of −4% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 11.3% net margin × 0.73× asset turns × 2.44× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 20.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 12.9% − 12.0% = a +0.9 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. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.

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

Cantabil Retail India Ltd carries total debt of ₹544 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹478 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 1.14. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.54 in FY22 to 1.14 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹544 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹478 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 1.14. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.54 (FY22) to 1.14 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

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.

Foreign institutions cut 2.3 points of Cantabil Retail India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 2.2% of the company. Promoters moved +0.4 points over the same window, to 74.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −2.3 points over 8 quarters to 2.2%; Promoters: +0.4 points over 8 quarters to 74.5%; Domestic institutions: +0.2 points over 8 quarters to 0.2%.

🚨 Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (−2.3 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

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.

Cantabil Retail India 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.
