Indokem Ltd

INDOKEM
Dyes & Pigments

Indokem Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. +15.4% in a year against EPS −41.2% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −67% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (4 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 76th percentile of its own 1-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +52.9% year on year, and −67% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified.
01 · Price story

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.

Indokem Ltd trades at ₹611, in a confirmed uptrend and 4 weeks into that stage. That is +8.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 61% of a 52-week range of ₹191 to ₹878. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 2 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 4 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹611 it trades +8.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 61% of its 52-week range (₹191–₹878).

Sep 26: ₹611 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Mar 16Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +13,755% while the NIFTY 500 moved +256% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 2 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.

02 · Valuation

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.

Indokem Ltd trades at 764.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 412.1×, measured across 0.8 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 764.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile), against a long-run median of 412.1× measured over 0.8 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 −41.2% against a +15.4% 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.

03 · Stage: No read

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).

Indokem 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 8 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue −5.1% in FY26, profit −33.3% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn. Turnaround-year spikes shown pinned (▲).

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

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.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

30.9/100 — rank 10 of 10 in Dyes & Pigments · 74% evidence confidence

Indokem Ltd scores 30.9 out of 100 against the 10 companies it is compared with in Dyes & Pigments, ranking 10. Price leads the evidence: RS versus the benchmark is 0.7%, but earnings trajectory is weak. Wait for revenue and profit confirmation.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 6.8 + 2.5 + 8.5 + 13.1 = 30.9. 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.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Indokem Ltd reported ₹46.6 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +12.2% year on year. Over 20 years it has compounded at 4.7% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹169 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹174 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹169 Cr (−5.1% on the year), capping 20 years at 4.7% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹46.6 Cr, +12.2% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −3.6% growth against the decade's 4.7% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −4.5% over the last 4 quarters against +5.2%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over.

06 · Operating margin

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.

Indokem Ltd's operating margin is 4.8% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.5 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −41.0% to 10.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 4.8%, +0.5 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −41.0%–10.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.5 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.1 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

07 · Net profit

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

Indokem Ltd earned ₹1.1 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +52.9% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹2.0 Cr. The 20-year compound rate is 3.5%. That is 2.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹0.7 Cr. 5 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 26 profit was ₹1.1 Cr, +52.9% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹2.0 Cr (−33.3%), and the 20-year compound rate is 3.5%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +12.2% and the margin +0.5 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −27.8% vs revenue −3.6%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.

08 · Cash flow — the router

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 −67% of Indokem Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−4.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹2.0 Cr of profit. After ₹−4.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹0.0 Cr was left as free cash. Cash resolution here is annual, because quarterly cash statements are not published.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−4.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹2.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹0.0 Cr after ₹−4.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −67% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY26: CFO ₹−4.0 Cr vs profit ₹2.0 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 10-year window, annual resolution. FY08 reflects an acquisition year — point shown clipped.

🚨 Why conversion sits at −67%: the cash cycle stretched 31 days between FY10 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 31 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

09 · Where the cash goes

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).

Indokem Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 79 days in FY26, up from 48 days in FY10. Capital spending ran ₹4.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹169 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.5 Cr, so roughly ₹37.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 92 days, inventory at 115 days — roughly 3.8 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 79 days, looser than FY10's 48.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 115 days to sell; customers pay about 92 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 129 days — netting out to the 79-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹169 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.5 Cr — so the 79-day loop keeps roughly ₹37.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹4.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹7.0 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹−4.0 Cr, work-in-progress ₹0.0 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.

10 · Return on capital

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.

Indokem Ltd earns a ROCE of 5% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −22% in FY11. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −9.0 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 1.2% net margin on 1.17× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 5%, recovered from a FY11 trough of −22% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 1.2% net margin × 1.17× asset turns × 2.23× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 3.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 3.0% − 12.0% = a −9.0 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.

11 · Debt

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.

Indokem Ltd carries ₹27.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹65.0 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.42. Operating profit covers the interest bill 2×. Over 16 years borrowings went from ₹32.0 Cr to ₹27.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹4.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹27.0 Cr against equity of ₹65.0 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.42. Operating profit covers the interest bill 2×. Over 16 years borrowings went from ₹32.0 Cr to ₹27.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹4.0 Cr in just the last 3 — the build-out is being paid for out of cash, not debt.

12 · Ownership

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 Indokem Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Domestic institutions moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 0.2%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 68.7%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.2%.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +0.0 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

13 · Safety line

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.

Indokem 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.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. 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 curve the sector itself 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 widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

What could break the Indokem Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −67% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 11 September 2026.

Is Indokem Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Indokem Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. +15.4% in a year against EPS −41.2% — the market is paying now for delivery later.
