Gabriel 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.

Gabriel India Ltd trades at ₹1,459, in a confirmed uptrend and 13 weeks into that stage. That is +31.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 94% of a 52-week range of ₹823 to ₹1,500. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 23 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 13 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,459 it trades +31.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 94% of its 52-week range (₹823–₹1,500).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +1,590% while the NIFTY 500 moved +278% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 23 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.

Gabriel India Ltd trades at 71.8× P/E, about the priciest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 41.2×, measured across 2.2 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 71.8× is about the priciest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 41.2× measured over 2.2 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 +3.0% against a +35.7% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

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

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.

At its price on 13 June 2026, Gabriel India Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 28.3% a year. Profit itself has compounded 18.7% a year over the past 2 years. The market pays that at 71.8× P/E, the 100th percentile of its own 2-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is above what this company has actually delivered. Both readings sit on the same earnings, so they are one reading rather than two.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure. 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. Every other number on this page is read off the live quote.

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).

Gabriel India Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: profit growth has eased from +41.2% at its peak to +20.2% but is still expanding, ROCE holding at 33.2%. 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

60.8/100 — rank 1 of 1 in Auto Ancillaries - Shock Absorber · 97% evidence confidence

Gabriel India Ltd scores 60.8 out of 100 against the 1 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Shock Absorber, 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: 20.8 + 17.1 + 10.4 + 12.5 = 60.8. 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.

Gabriel India Ltd reported ₹1,426 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +15.6% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 2 years it has compounded at 17.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,667 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,166 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹4,667 Cr (+14.9% on the year), capping 2 years at 17.1% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹1,426 Cr, +15.6% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +18.8% growth against the decade's 17.1% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +18.7% over the last 4 quarters against +20.8%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +20.2% vs +34.5%/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.

Gabriel India Ltd's operating margin is 9.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 3 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 10.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 9.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 3 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0%–10.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −0.9 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.5 pp — the loss 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.

Gabriel India Ltd earned ₹108 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +2.9% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹252 Cr. The 2-year compound rate is 18.7%. That is 7.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹105 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹108 Cr, +2.9% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹252 Cr (+2.9%), and the 2-year compound rate is 18.7%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +15.6% and the margin −1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +22.5% vs revenue +18.8%. 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 107% of Gabriel India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹345 Cr of operating cash against ₹252 Cr of profit. After ₹264 Cr of capital spending, ₹81.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹345 Cr against reported profit of ₹252 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹81.0 Cr after ₹264 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 107% 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 107%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY24 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.6× 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).

Gabriel India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 18 days in FY26, up from 12 days in FY24. Capital spending ran ₹463 Cr over the last 2 years. At FY26 sales of ₹4,667 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹12.8 Cr, so roughly ₹230 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 53 days, inventory at 43 days — roughly 1.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 18 days, looser than FY24's 12.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 43 days to sell; customers pay about 53 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 78 days — netting out to the 18-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹4,667 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹12.8 Cr — so the 18-day loop keeps roughly ₹230 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹463 Cr over the last 2 fiscal years against ₹181 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹100 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.

Gabriel India Ltd earns a ROCE of 26% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +9.2 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 5.4% net margin on 1.92× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 26%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.4% net margin × 1.92× asset turns × 1.77× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 18.4% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 21.2% − 12.0% = a +9.2 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. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Gabriel India Ltd carries total debt of ₹148 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,392 Cr as of Jun 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.11 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.02 in FY22 to 0.11 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Jun 26: total debt of ₹148 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,392 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.11. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.02 (FY22) to 0.11 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

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.

Promoters added 8.5 points of Gabriel India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 63.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +1.4 points over the same window, to 6.3%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: +8.5 points over 8 quarters to 63.5%; Foreign institutions: +1.4 points over 8 quarters to 6.3%; Domestic institutions: +0.8 points over 8 quarters to 12.9%.

Why the register moved: promoters drove it (+8.5 points), alongside foreign institutions (+1.4 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

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.

Gabriel 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.
