Data as of

6 March 2026

3 of the 5 things we track are currently moving the right way — nearly everything is pulling in the same direction.

Where the levels actually stand: ROCE 22% — a high-quality engine; effectively no debt; margins near the top of their band. Momentum says which way things are moving; these say where they are.

Read this number for what it is: it measures the DIRECTION of change, not the quality of the business. A mediocre business getting better scores high here; a great one having a soft quarter scores low. Profit, sales and margins count double.

Price and profits are moving together

Since Jul 2023, the stock is up 71% and earnings per share are up 73% — the price has tracked the profits, not run ahead of them.pricettm_eps

The market is paying for delivery, not promises. What you see in earnings is what you get in the price.

Today’s P/E of 39.1× sits near the bottom of its own range — it has been cheaper than this only 8% of the time against its own history since 2023.pe_ratio

Price is the weekly close (₹). EPS is trailing-twelve-month profit per share, anchored on Screener's own snapshots; between snapshots it is filled from price ÷ P/E (an exact identity), and any fill straying more than 18% from the neighbouring snapshots is dropped rather than shown. The lower panel is the P/E — what the market pays per rupee of profit; the dotted line is its long-run median (54×).

The price is in a downtrend — fighting it is expensive

Stock prices move through four repeating stages: basing (1), advancing (2), topping (3) and declining (4). This one is in Stage 4: declining, 9 weeks in, confirmed.stage

The price is below its falling 200-day average — history says most of the damage in stocks happens here. Cheap can get cheaper in Stage 4.dma_200

Trailing NIFTY 500 for 16 weeks — relative strength is the market’s live opinion, and right now it is against it.rs_mansfield

What would end it: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the house exit rule — mechanical, no debates.dma_200

4 of 5 years up since listing — good compounding, but a short book

Over 5 years, sales went from ₹32.0 Cr to ₹146 Cr (about 36% a year), and profit from ₹1.0 Cr to ₹24.0 Cr.revenuenet_profit

Margins widened 12.5 points along the way — growth with improving economics.operating_profit

Sales jumped 30% last quarter — the 5th straight quarter of growth

Sep 25 sales were ₹104 Cr, up 30% on the same quarter last year.revenue

That makes 5 quarters of growth in a row — this is a trend, not a blip.revenue

Margins have been rebuilt — 15.6% in FY20 to 28.1% now

Of every ₹100 of sales, the company keeps ₹28.2 as operating profit (a year ago it kept ₹28.7).opm_pct

Zoom out and this is the page's quiet hero: annual operating margin bottomed at 15.6% in FY20 and has been rebuilt to 28.1% — that recovery, not sales alone, is what powers the profit growth elsewhere on this page.operating_profit

Profit jumped 36% — mostly from selling more

Sep 25 profit after tax was ₹19.0 Cr, up 36% year on year.net_profit

Profits on paper, cash lagging behind

Over the last 4 profitable years, the business reported ₹59.0 Cr of profit and collected ₹−24.0 Cr of operating cash — about -41% conversion (1 loss year excluded — a negative denominator would flatter the ratio).operating_cash_flownet_profit

The wrinkle is the latest year: FY25 collected ₹−3.0 Cr against ₹24.0 Cr of reported profit — about -12%. One year isn’t a trend, but it is the line to watch.operating_cash_flownet_profit

The gap sits in receivables: customers now take 150 days to pay, up from 30. Profit booked, cash pending.debtor_days

The cash cycle is stretching — more money stuck in the pipeline

One rupee now takes about 433 days to go out the door as materials and come back as collected cash — up from 365 days the year before.cash_conversion_cycle

The biggest mover: customers taking longer to pay (30 → 150 days).debtor_days

The asset base keeps compounding — this company builds

The productive asset base has gone from ₹10.0 Cr (FY20) to ₹36.0 Cr, with another ₹2.0 Cr of capacity under construction right now.fixed_assetscwip

The build is bigger than the cash engine: investing outflows (₹41.0 Cr) exceeded operating cash (₹−39.0 Cr) over the last 3 years — the difference comes from debt or shareholders.investing_cash_flowoperating_cash_flow

Almost no debt — this company cannot be killed by a bad year

For every ₹100 shareholders have put in (and left in), the company has borrowed ₹14 — total borrowings have grown from ₹14.0 Cr to ₹21.0 Cr over the window.borrowings

Every ₹100 kept in the business earns ₹22 — a high-quality engine

Return on capital employed is 22.0% (a year ago: 24.0%). This is the single best test of business quality: what the company earns on the money it keeps.roce_pct

Promoter holding dropped in one step — an event, not a slow exit

Promoters hold 68.1% (down 5.2 points over 6 quarters). Foreign funds own 0.0%, domestic funds 0.5%.promoters_pctfiis_pctdiis_pct

The promoter move came in a single step (Sep 25) — promoters rarely buy on-market, so a jump like this is almost always an allotment, infusion or restructuring: a capital event, not a slow accumulation of conviction. Worth knowing which, before reading it as a signal.promoters_pct

A good business — the question is the price

The numbers are genuinely mixed, and the price is roughly fair to the delivery so far.

Best thing in the data: cash generation rising (₹−27.0 Cr → ₹−3.0 Cr).operating_cash_flow

Biggest worry: returns on capital falling (24.0% → 22.0%).roce_pct
