Indo SMC 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.

Indo SMC Ltd trades at ₹441, in a confirmed uptrend and 15 weeks into that stage. That is +79.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 97% of a 52-week range of ₹140 to ₹449. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 21 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 15 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹441 it trades +79.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 97% of its 52-week range (₹140–₹449).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 6 months the stock moved +214% while the NIFTY 500 moved +2% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 21 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.

Indo SMC Ltd trades at 31.1× P/E, about the priciest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 19.5×, measured across 0.5 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 31.1× is about the priciest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 19.5× measured over 0.5 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).

Indo SMC 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 4 quarters across 1 curve, 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.

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.

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

54.3/100 — rank 10 of 14 in Electric Equipment - General · 31% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers

Indo SMC Ltd scores 54.3 out of 100 against the 14 companies it is compared with in Electric Equipment - General, ranking 10. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 17.7 + 16.4 + 10.2 + 10 = 54.3. 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.

Indo SMC Ltd reported ₹197 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +185.5% year on year. Over 4 years it has compounded at 319.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹310 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹442 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹310 Cr (+123.0% on the year), capping 4 years at 319.6% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹197 Cr, +185.5% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +185.5% growth against the decade's 319.6% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

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.

Indo SMC Ltd's operating margin is 15.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +4.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 14.0% to 18.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 15.0%, +4.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 14.0%–18.0%.

Why: the numbers show the operating margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Indo SMC Ltd earned ₹21.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +320.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹32.0 Cr. That is 10.7% of the quarter's revenue.

Mar 26 profit was ₹21.0 Cr, +320.0% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹32.0 Cr (+113.3%).

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 −110% of Indo SMC Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−35.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹32.0 Cr of profit. After ₹6.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−41.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−35.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹32.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−41.0 Cr after ₹6.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −110% 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 −110%: the cash cycle tightened 347 days between FY22 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 13.0× 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).

Indo SMC Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 155 days in FY26, down from 502 days in FY22. Capital spending ran ₹26.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹310 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.8 Cr, so roughly ₹132 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 42 days, inventory at 135 days — roughly 4.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 155 days, tighter than FY22's 502.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 135 days to sell; customers pay about 42 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 23 days — netting out to the 155-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹310 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.8 Cr — so the 155-day loop keeps roughly ₹132 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹26.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹2.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹8.0 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.

Indo SMC Ltd earns a ROCE of 34% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 17% in FY23. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 10.3% net margin on 1.38× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 34%, recovered from a FY23 trough of 17% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 10.3% net margin × 1.38× asset turns × 1.45× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 20.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Indo SMC Ltd carries ₹47.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹154 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.31. Operating profit covers the interest bill 8×. Over 4 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹47.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹26.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹47.0 Cr against equity of ₹154 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.31. Operating profit covers the interest bill 8×. Over 4 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹47.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹26.0 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

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.

No holder of Indo SMC Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

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.

Indo SMC 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.
