Exicom Tele-Systems 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd trades at ₹158, in a confirmed uptrend and 7 weeks into that stage. That is +14.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 79% of a 52-week range of ₹83 to ₹178. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 1 straight week.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 7 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹158 it trades +14.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 79% of its 52-week range (₹83–₹178).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2.4 years the stock moved −31% while the NIFTY 500 moved +19% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 1 straight week — 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd trades at 79.5× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (77th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 52.1×, measured across 0.9 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 79.5× is at the pricey end of its own range (77th percentile), against a long-run median of 52.1× measured over 0.9 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

Stage: No read 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).

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 10 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

4-Factor Sector Score

43.2/100 — rank 13 of 19 in Capital Goods - Electric General · 68% evidence confidence

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd scores 43.2 out of 100 against the 19 companies it is compared with in Capital Goods - Electric General, ranking 13. Price leads the evidence: RS versus the benchmark is 22.7%, but earnings trajectory is weak. Wait for revenue and profit confirmation.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.4 + 0.3 + 10 + 16.5 = 43.2. 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd reported ₹388 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +45.9% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 5 years it has compounded at 17.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,152 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,152 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,152 Cr (+32.7% on the year), capping 5 years at 17.6% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹388 Cr, +45.9% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +38.0% growth against the decade's 17.6% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +32.7% over the last 4 quarters against +6.3%/yr over the last 8 — 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd's operating margin is 0.1% in the Mar 26 quarter, +6.1 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −9.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 0.1%, +6.1 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −9.0%–11.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +6.3 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.7 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd posted a net loss of ₹54.0 Cr in the Mar 26 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹274 Cr. That loss is 13.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹62.0 Cr. 7 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹−54.0 Cr, null year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹−274 Cr (null).

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 113% of Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹−87.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹−274 Cr of profit. After ₹319 Cr of capital spending, ₹−406 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−87.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹−274 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−406 Cr after ₹319 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 113% 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 113%: the cash cycle stretched 84 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 5.1× 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).

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 152 days in FY26, up from 68 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹975 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,152 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹3.2 Cr, so roughly ₹480 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 130 days, inventory at 193 days — roughly 6.3 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 152 days, looser than FY21's 68.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 193 days to sell; customers pay about 130 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 171 days — netting out to the 152-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,152 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹3.2 Cr — so the 152-day loop keeps roughly ₹480 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹975 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹191 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd earns a ROCE of −15% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −29.7 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is −23.8% net margin on 0.58× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is −15%.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): −23.8% net margin × 0.58× asset turns × 3.06× balance-sheet leverage ≈ −42.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: −17.7% − 12.0% = a −29.7 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd carries total debt of ₹713 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹651 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 1.10. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.57 in FY23 to 1.10 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹713 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹651 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 1.10. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.57 (FY23) to 1.10 (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.

Domestic institutions cut 8.2 points of Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 0.3% of the company. Promoters moved −4.4 points over the same window, to 65.2%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −8.2 points over 8 quarters to 0.3%; Promoters: −4.4 points over 8 quarters to 65.2%; Foreign institutions: −0.8 points over 8 quarters to 0.2%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−8.2 points), alongside promoters (−4.4 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.

Exicom Tele-Systems 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.
