4 of the 6 things we track are currently moving the right way — nearly everything is pulling in the same direction.

Where the levels actually stand: ROCE 54% — a high-quality engine; effectively no debt. 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, and a quarter of the score comes from our earnings-recovery lens (is the profit cycle turning up off its trough?).

THE ONE CHART THAT MATTERS

Price and profits are moving together

Since Apr 2025, the stock is up 1% and earnings per share are up 24% — 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 27.1× sits near the bottom of its own range — it has been cheaper than this only 17% of the time against its own history since 2025.pe_ratio

A caveat on every valuation comparison here: the stock has only traded since 2025, and in that time its P/E has ranged 25–38× — it has never been cheap. “Middle of its range” means the middle of an expensive range.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 (28.3×).

WHERE THE PRICE IS IN ITS CYCLE

The price is in a confirmed uptrend — 4 weeks and counting

STAGE 2 · ADVANCING · 4 WEEKS

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

The price sits above its rising 200-day average (₹350 today) — trends like this persist more often than they reverse, which is why the system rides them instead of guessing the top.dma_200

Beating NIFTY 500 for 12 weeks — relative strength is the market’s live opinion, and right now it is on this stock’s side.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

THE LONG ARC

Profits have grown in 3 of the last 3 years — compounding so far, on a short record

Over 3 years, sales went from ₹491 Cr to ₹1,229 Cr (about 36% a year), and profit from ₹242 Cr to ₹532 Cr.revenuenet_profit

CHAPTER 1 · THE ENGINE

Sales jumped 21% last quarter — the 6th straight quarter of growth

Revenue — the money that comes in from customers, before any costs.

Mar 26 sales were ₹369 Cr, up 21% on the same quarter last year.revenue

That makes 6 quarters of growth in a row — this is a trend, not a blip.revenue

CHAPTER 2 · THE TAKE

Margins have been rebuilt — 57.0% in FY24 to 60.0% now

Margins — the share of every ₹100 of sales kept as profit. Gross (after raw materials), operating (after running costs), net (after everything).

Of every ₹100 of sales, the company keeps ₹64.0 as operating profit (a year ago it kept ₹64.2).opm_pct

Zoom out and this is the page's quiet hero: annual operating margin bottomed at 57.0% in FY24 and has been rebuilt to 60.0% — that recovery, not sales alone, is what powers the profit growth elsewhere on this page.operating_profit

CHAPTER 4 · THE ACID TEST

The profits are real — they turn into cash

Operating cash flow (CFO) — the cash that actually arrived, vs PAT, the profit accounting reports. Annual figures.

Over the last 4 profitable years, the business reported ₹1,526 Cr of profit and collected ₹1,392 Cr of operating cash — about 91% conversion.operating_cash_flownet_profit

CHAPTER 5 · THE PIPELINE

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

Working capital — days of sales locked up in inventory and unpaid bills. Screener reports this yearly, so this chart is annual.

One rupee now takes about 70 days to go out the door as materials and come back as collected cash — up from 57 days the year before.cash_conversion_cycle

CHAPTER 6 · THE BUILD

The asset base keeps compounding — this company builds

Capex — money spent on plants, machines and buildings. Gross block is what exists; CWIP (capital work-in-progress) is what is being built. Annual.

The productive asset base has gone from ₹110 Cr (FY22) to ₹410 Cr, with another ₹59.0 Cr of capacity under construction right now.fixed_assetscwip

The build is bigger than the cash engine: investing outflows (₹2,026 Cr) exceeded operating cash (₹1,198 Cr) over the last 3 years — the difference comes from debt or shareholders.investing_cash_flowoperating_cash_flow

CHAPTER 7 · SURVIVAL

Debt is small — but no longer zero, and growing

Debt-to-equity — borrowings against shareholders’ money. Computed from the balance sheet. Annual.

For every ₹100 shareholders have put in (and left in), the company has borrowed ₹10 — total borrowings have grown from ₹27.0 Cr to ₹143 Cr over the window.borrowings

The equity base grew even faster, so the ratio stays comfortable — but a 5× rise in absolute borrowings deserves a name (acquisitions, capex), not a shrug. Watch whether it keeps compounding.borrowings

The current price already implies roughly 16% annual earnings growth. These are model estimates, not forecasts — treat them as one input alongside the valuation history below, not as a target.

Is International Gemological Institute Limited stock overvalued or undervalued?

International Gemological Institute Limited trades at a P/E of 27.1× — the 17th percentile of its own 1.2-year trading range (median 28.3×), which is cheap against its own history.

Is International Gemological Institute Limited stock in an uptrend?

Is International Gemological Institute Limited beating the NIFTY 500?

Yes — beating NIFTY 500 for 12 weeks, as of 1 July 2026. Relative strength is measured weekly against the NIFTY 500 (Mansfield RS): a positive reading means the stock has outperformed the index over the trailing window, week after week.

Who owns International Gemological Institute Limited — what is the promoter holding?

What is the bull case for International Gemological Institute Limited?

Profits are up 64% in two years, the price has kept pace — no more, no less, and it still trades cheap against its own history. Best thing in the data: free cash flow rising (₹−1,241 Cr → ₹195 Cr). Sales jumped 21% last quarter — the 6th straight quarter of growth.

What is the bear case for International Gemological Institute Limited — what could break the story?

Biggest worry: returns on capital falling (68.0% → 54.0%). Two quarters of profit reversing would kill this story. The nearest-term thing to watch: if quarterly growth slips below 11%, the story weakens. This falsification condition is stated up front so the thesis can be checked against incoming quarters, not defended after the fact.
