IRM Energy 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.

IRM Energy Ltd trades at ₹294, in a downtrend and 36 weeks into that stage. That is +8.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 62% of a 52-week range of ₹176 to ₹366. 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 downtrend — week 36 of stage 4. At ₹294 it trades +8.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 62% of its 52-week range (₹176–₹366).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2.8 years the stock moved −39% while the NIFTY 500 moved +41% — behind 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.

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.

IRM Energy Ltd trades at 16.5× P/E, about the cheapest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 23.1×, measured across 2.8 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 16.5× is about the cheapest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 23.1× measured over 2.8 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 +17.7% against a +10.6% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

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

The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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, IRM Energy Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 13.4% a year. Profit itself has compounded 64.3% a year over the past 8 years. The market pays that at 16.5× P/E, the 2nd percentile of its own 3-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is low against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below 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: Turning around 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).

IRM Energy Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −47.7% at the trough to +85.0%, a 4-quarter improving streak, ROCE holding at 9.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

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.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

4-Factor Sector Score

57.2/100 — rank 1 of 2 in LPG Bottling · 84% evidence confidence

IRM Energy Ltd scores 57.2 out of 100 against the 2 companies it is compared with in LPG Bottling, ranking 1. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -20.5% and the one-year return is 3.8%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 26.5 + 10.4 + 13.5 + 6.8 = 57.2. 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.

IRM Energy Ltd reported ₹326 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +24.4% year on year. That is the 8th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 8 years it has compounded at 73.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,067 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,130 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,067 Cr (+9.4% on the year), capping 8 years at 73.5% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹326 Cr, +24.4% year on year — the 8th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +11.5% growth against the decade's 73.5% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +11.5% over the last 4 quarters against +13.0%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +85.0% vs −2.6%/yr — 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.

IRM Energy Ltd's operating margin is 19.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +9.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0% to 39.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 19.0%, +9.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0%–39.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +9.1 pp year on year while gross margin went +6.3 pp — the gain 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.

IRM Energy Ltd earned ₹34.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +142.9% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹53.0 Cr. The 8-year compound rate is 64.3%. That is 10.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹14.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹34.0 Cr, +142.9% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹53.0 Cr (+17.8%), and the 8-year compound rate is 64.3%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +24.4% and the margin +9.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +104.1% vs revenue +11.5%. 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 194% of IRM Energy Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹143 Cr of operating cash against ₹53.0 Cr of profit. After ₹194 Cr of capital spending, ₹−51.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹143 Cr against reported profit of ₹53.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−51.0 Cr after ₹194 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 194% 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 194%: the cash cycle stretched 18 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 5.0× 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).

IRM Energy Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −4 days in FY26, up from −22 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹520 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,067 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹2.9 Cr, so roughly ₹−12.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 11 days, inventory at 2 days — roughly 0.1 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −4 days, looser than FY21's −22.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 2 days to sell; customers pay about 11 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 16 days — netting out to the −4-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,067 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹2.9 Cr — so the −4-day loop keeps roughly ₹−12.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹520 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹105 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹99.0 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.⚠ unverified

IRM Energy Ltd earns a ROCE of 9% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 8% in FY25. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −8.1 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 5.0% net margin on 0.82× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 9%, recovered from a FY25 trough of 8% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.0% net margin × 0.82× asset turns × 1.30× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 5.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 3.9% − 12.0% = a −8.1 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.⚠ unverified

IRM Energy Ltd carries total debt of ₹73.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹998 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.07 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.88 in FY22 to 0.07 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹73.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹998 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.07. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.88 (FY22) to 0.07 (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.

Domestic institutions cut 9.5 points of IRM Energy Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 1.7% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +1.1 points over the same window, to 1.6%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −9.5 points over 8 quarters to 1.7%; Foreign institutions: +1.1 points over 8 quarters to 1.6%; Promoters: +0.7 points over 8 quarters to 50.7%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−9.5 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (+1.1 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.

IRM Energy 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.
