Two changes stood out: profit fell in the September 2026 quarter and highest quarterly revenue in 16 quarters. 1. Profit fell in the September 2026 quarter Profit was ₹18 crore, -18.2% on a year earlier (₹22 crore), after 4 quarters of growth. Why: Profit fell because low-priced Chinese yarn squeezed prices and power costs at Bharuch and LNG rose. An earlier boost from low-cost stock also faded. Next results: check whether the second hybrid power unit starts cutting power costs from Q4 FY27. From the earnings call on 28 Oct 2026. 2. Highest quarterly revenue in 16 quarters Revenue of ₹558 crore in the September 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 16 quarters. Why: Revenue hit a record because festive demand lifted yarn sales and higher raw material costs raised the prices customers paid. Next results: check whether advance import bookings settle after this quarter. From the earnings call on 28 Oct 2026. ## What are Century Enka's latest quarterly results? For July to September 2026 (the quarter ended 30 September 2026), Century Enka reported revenue of ₹558 crore, up 36.4% from ₹409 crore a year earlier, and a profit of ₹18.0 crore, down 18.2% from ₹22.0 crore. ### Century Enka results: July to September 2026 against a year earlier

## What did Century Enka management say on the latest results call? On the call for July to September 2026, held on 28 October 2026, Century Enka's management guided: PTCF commercial sales to commence in January to March 2027. > “On the PTCF front, the approval process is progressing in the desired direction, and we expect to commence commercial sales in Q4 FY27.”
> Suresh Sodani, on the call for July to September 2026

### What management guided

- PTCF established capacity to reach very high to almost full utilisation in H2FY28. - Additional Bharuch hybrid to deliver around ₹10 crore annualised saving from January to March 2027. - Mother yarn Pune plus wraps and energy-saving capital spending to capitalise next financial year. - Value-added products to reach around 50% of NFY volumes near term. Management’s own plans and goals, from our notes of the call. A plan is not a result. Source: [the call transcript](https://files.tijorifinance.com/insight/india/205/Conference Call/CC-Oct26.pdf).

## What is the future of Century Enka? What is changing in the business? What is changing at Century Enka, from the latest results and calls: margin normalisation off the trough, renewable power cost-out (36% rising to 48%) and ptcf (polyester tyre cord fabric) commercialisation. - Margin normalisation off the trough. Operating margin expanded from 5% (Jun-2025) to 11.4% (Mar-2026) as gross margin rose 23.4% to 31.1%, raw-material pass-through plus low-cost inventory consumption plus operating leverage on reinforcement volume. ⚠ estimate
- Renewable power cost-out (36% rising to 48%). Renewable content of total power consumption was 36% in FY26 and is guided to 48% after phase-2 commissioning, a structural cost lever underpinning the raised 7-10% margin guide. ⚠ estimate
- PTCF (polyester tyre cord fabric) commercialisation. Roughly 100 Cr already spent on the PTCF facility; OEM approval at stage 2 of 3-4; commercial sales now guided to H2 FY27 after three prior slips, a diversification growth vector into passenger-car tyres. ⚠ estimate
- Anti-dumping duty on Chinese NFY imports. DGTR issued a favourable ruling (20-80 cents per kg, equal to 10-30% of FOB) on Chinese nylon filament yarn; Finance Ministry notification pending, would support pricing on the commodity 15-20% of volume. ⚠ estimate

We check 16 kinds of change in every company, such as costs spread over more sales, higher-value products, new orders, new regions or falling debt, against its reported numbers and what management said on its calls. Only changes the numbers back are shown. (Our read after the latest results, written 27 June 2026.)

## What could change the Century Enka story? What are the risks? Caprolactam inventory normalises and operating margin reverts toward the 7-8% guided floor before the value-added mix and renewable cost-out can keep the gain. ### Each change stops working if

- Margin normalisation off the trough: Caprolactam inventory normalises and operating margin reverts toward the 7-8% guided floor before the value-added mix and renewable cost-out can keep the gain. - Renewable power cost-out (36% rising to 48%): Phase-2 commissioning slips beyond October to December 2026 or grid tariffs fall, eroding the relative saving. - PTCF (polyester tyre cord fabric) commercialisation: OEM approval stalls past stage 3 or the H2 FY27 commercial date slips a fourth time. - Anti-dumping duty on Chinese NFY imports: Finance Ministry notification stalls or China cuts prices to absorb the duty. ### The main risks

- Chinese import dumping caps the commodity segment: Chinese imports are 20-25% of the domestic NFY market; the commodity 15-20% of volume faces structural pricing pressure pending anti-dumping relief. ✓ fact
- Revenue still shrinking, margin-led, not volume-led, recovery: FY26 revenue fell 15% on a year earlier and volume 6%; the EPS turn is margin-driven on a falling top line, which is fragile if margins normalise. ✓ fact
- Management execution and disclosure slippage: PTCF commercial launch slipped three times across four calls without acknowledgement; renewable baseline restated 15% to 36% one quarter apart. ⚠ estimate

First: PTCF commercial sales to start at flagged quarter - approval-to-sales conversion and first uptake check. - What to check (from the call)
- PTCF commercial sales to start at flagged quarter - approval-to-sales conversion and first uptake check. - Advance-booked import intake to normalise after current quarter - NTCF sales rebound and pricing discipline check. - Additional hybrid unit to begin cost relief at flagged quarter - grid-LNG pressure versus efficiency gains check. ## Which stock lists is Century Enka on?

## Is Century Enka profitable? Century Enka Ltd earned ₹18.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −18.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹101 Cr. Over 3 years profit has grown 3.9% a year on average. That is 3.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹22.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹101 Cr (+53.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +36.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +205.9% and revenue +16.7%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Century Enka make, and is it growing? Century Enka Ltd reported ₹558 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +36.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 3 years it has grown −6.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,705 Cr. Why this happened. The structural growth option distinct from the flat nylon tyre cord segment. Polyester serves passenger cars where demand grows faster, and roughly 80% of the domestic polyester tyre cord market is currently imported. But the launch has been pushed from Q4 FY26 to FY27 to H2 FY27 across three calls without management flagging the slippage, so it cannot be underwritten into the base case yet. The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,008 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹1,705 Cr, −14.8% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +16.7% on average, against −6.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +14.9%, against +0.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +146.6%, against +42.9% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Century Enka keep? Century Enka Ltd's operating margin was 6.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 2.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 4 years it has been between 4.6% and 9.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why this happened. The engine of the FY26 earnings turn. The Mar-2026 quarter delivered OPM 11.4% and PAT 39 Cr (up 479% YoY) on revenue of 484 Cr. The lift came from reinforcement volume recovery (Q4 reinforcement sales up 21% on 14% volume growth) plus consumption of low-priced caprolactam inventory and a pricing pass-through after the Iran conflict. The caveat: management's own FY27 guidance is 7-10%, below the 11.4% print, so part of this is a peak rather than a new run-rate. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −4.8 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Century Enka's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 158% of Century Enka Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹125 Cr of operating cash against ₹101 Cr of profit. After ₹29.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹96.0 Cr was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 158% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY23 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle. What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does Century Enka's cash go? Century Enka Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 73 days in FY26, down from 74 days in FY23. It spent ₹184 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 42 days to pay, and stock sits for 92 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹1,705 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹4.7 Cr, so roughly ₹341 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 42 days to pay and stock sat for 92 days, about 3.0 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 73 days, shorter than FY23's 74. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 92 days. Customers pay about 42 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 61 days. Together that makes the 73-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹184 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹160 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building a little beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹13.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is Century Enka's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Century Enka Ltd's P/E is 6.6×, about the lowest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 16.4×, over 3.4 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +51.7% while the price moved −6.0%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +1.6% a year; about +31.6% a year came from earnings growth and about −30.0 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Century Enka business getting better or worse? Century Enka Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 11.8% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## What is the Century Enka story, and has it been checked? Century Enka Ltd's story is not scored yet against the checks our research set on 27 June 2026. Where it sits in its own cycle: TROUGH RECOVERY MARGIN LED. Our read, 27 June 2026. From the numbers. From the price. Price stage 2, week 20, below its 200-day line, relative strength falling. From the research. Where they disagree. What is proven. What is not proven yet. What would change our mind. The test written in advance. The test written in advance. Chinese import dumping caps the commodity segment. Measured by: Chinese import dumping caps the commodity segment Monthly nylon filament yarn import volumes and the Finance Ministry anti-dumping notification by the next result. What the company does. Earnings are inflecting hard off a Mar-2025 bottom: quarterly EPS went from 7.04 to 18.03 over four quarters and FY26 PAT rose to 101 Cr (up 52% YoY), driven by margin normalisation as OPM climbed from 5% to 11.4%. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: OPM 11.4%, best margin in years, expansion intact. The research reads it further: 11.4% is the 71st percentile of the 10-year OPM band against a through-cycle mid-point near 7.8%; the cyclicality flag is at peak, and Q4 was lifted by low-cost caprolactam inventory and a one-time pass-through, not only structural cost-out. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: EPS reaching 18.03 and FY26 PAT up 52% YoY reads as accelerating earnings. The research reads it further: The growth is genuine trough recovery off a Mar-2025 bottom (that quarter's OPM was 2%), driven by margin normalisation, not volume, FY26 revenue fell 15% YoY and volume 6%. The Dec-2025 and Mar-2026 quarters are clean of one-off other-income flatter, so the recent inflection is operating quality, but it sits on a shrinking top line. Lever 2 · Value-added mix: building. OPM expanded from 5% (Jun-2025) to 11.4% (Mar-2026) as gross margin rose 23.4% to 31.1%, raw-material pass-through plus low-cost inventory consumption plus operating leverage on reinforcement volume. What proves it keeps working: Margin normalisation off the trough. It stops working if Caprolactam inventory normalises and OPM reverts toward the 7-8% guided floor before the value-added mix and renewable cost-out can keep the gain. Lever 9 · Buyback: building. Renewable content of total power consumption was 36% in FY26 and is guided to 48% after phase-2 commissioning, a structural cost lever underpinning the raised 7-10% margin guide. What proves it keeps working: Renewable power cost-out (36% rising to 48%). It stops working if Phase-2 commissioning slips beyond Q3 FY27 or grid tariffs fall, eroding the relative saving. Lever 12 · New product launch: building. Roughly 100 Cr already spent on the PTCF facility; OEM approval at stage 2 of 3-4; commercial sales now guided to H2 FY27 after three prior slips, a diversification growth vector into passenger-car tyres. What proves it keeps working: PTCF (polyester tyre cord fabric) commercialisation. It stops working if OEM approval stalls past stage 3 or the H2 FY27 commercial date slips a fourth time. Lever 10 · New geographies: building. DGTR issued a favourable ruling (20-80 cents per kg, equal to 10-30% of FOB) on Chinese nylon filament yarn; Finance Ministry notification pending, would support pricing on the commodity 15-20% of volume. What proves it keeps working: Anti-dumping duty on Chinese NFY imports. It stops working if Finance Ministry notification stalls or China cuts prices to absorb the duty.

The story check is re-scored every results season; the record below never changes. ## Did Century Enka management deliver what it promised? What Century Enka Ltd's management promised, against what actually happened: 4 promises on the record. Read straight from the company’s own earnings calls. A promise that slipped stays on this page after it is met. Hybrid Power Benefit Timing Shifted · 28 October 2026. In the Jul 2026 call, management said the Bharuch renewable-power expansion was expected to be commissioned in H2 FY27, most likely in Q3, consistent with the Q4 FY26 expectation of a Q3 start. In the Oct 2026 call, the expected start of cost benefits moved to Q4 FY27 without an explanation, which is relevant to the timing of the previously expected power-cost and margin benefits. Mother Yarn Capacity Timeline Shift · 29 July 2026. The May 2026 call tied the FY '27 capex program to a project expected to add 2-2.5 KT, whereas the July 2026 call said there would be no capacity increase in the current financial year and moved commissioning to FY28, with a revised 3,000-4,000 tons per annum addition. Management did not explain the one-year schedule shift or the changed capacity estimate, which is material to the timing of the growth and capex thesis. PTCF Commercial Launch Delayed · 22 May 2026. In the Nov 2025 call, management guided that commercial supplies for the Polyester Tyre Cord Fabric (PTCF) project would begin in Q4. However, in the Feb 2026 call, this was shifted to FY27, and by the May 2026 call, the timeline was further delayed to the second half of FY 2027 without acknowledging the timeline slippage. Renewable Energy Generation Baseline Contradiction · 22 May 2026. In the Feb 2026 call, management explicitly stated that renewable sources accounted for 15% of the company's current power requirement and projected reaching 30-35% after phase 2 commissioning. However, the May 2026 call claimed the renewable content for FY 2026 was already at 36% and forecasted reaching 48% with the new capacity, significantly contradicting the baseline metrics provided just one quarter prior. Every quote above is taken word for word from the company’s own earnings calls. ## How much does Century Enka earn on its capital? Century Enka Ltd earned a ROCE of 8% in FY26. That is up from a low of 3% in FY24. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.9 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 5.9% net margin and 0.92× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 5.9% net margin × 0.92× asset turnover × 1.24× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 6.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 9.1% − 12.0% = −2.9 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 9.1% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 6.4%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Century Enka have too much debt? Century Enka Ltd has total debt of ₹22.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,553 Cr as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.01× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.01 in FY22 to 0.01 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Century Enka shareholding pattern? No group of Century Enka Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Domestic institutions moved −0.4 points over the same period, to 8.9%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Why this happened. Phase-2 of the hybrid renewable project is planned for Q3 FY27 commissioning with benefits flowing from H2 FY27 into FY28. Management did not quantify the rupee saving in the latest call, and a prior call's 15% baseline was restated to 36% one quarter later, so the magnitude is directional, not precise. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −0.8 points over 8 quarters, to 2.6%; Domestic institutions: −0.4 points over 8 quarters, to 8.9%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 24.9%. ## How far is Century Enka from balance-sheet trouble? For Century Enka Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Century Enka rank in its industry? 55.1 out of 100, rank 3 of 4 in Textiles - Manmade Fibre - PFY/PSF, with 97% of the evidence available.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the NIFTY 500, for 3 weeks running (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Century Enka's share price go up? This page does not forecast Century Enka Ltd's share price. What it shows instead: the share price is ₹439.50, and it has been rising for 20 weeks. Its P/E of 6.6× is higher than 0% of its own last 3 years (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does Century Enka have too much debt? No, Century Enka Ltd has little debt: its debt is 0.01× its equity, and its operating profit is 49 times its interest bill. FY26 borrowings were ₹22.0 Cr against equity of ₹1,496 Cr. So the returns on this page come from the business, not borrowed money (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Century Enka in its business cycle? Century Enka Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 9.0%, against a 4-year range of 4.6% to 9.0%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 6.0%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Century Enka story? The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +51.7% while the share price moved −6.0%. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Century Enka a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Century Enka Ltd's P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 0% of past readings, and its quarterly results are still getting worse. The main open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already grown. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is there a Century Enka share price forecast for 2026? What management itself guided: PTCF commercial sales to commence in January to March 2027. What is changing at Century Enka, from the latest results and calls: margin normalisation off the trough, renewable power cost-out (36% rising to 48%) and ptcf (polyester tyre cord fabric) commercialisation. What would change the story: Caprolactam inventory normalises and operating margin reverts toward the 7-8% guided floor before the value-added mix and renewable cost-out can keep the gain. ## Lists
