ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd

ISGEC
Infra - Engineering - General

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −23.9% in a year against EPS −56.3% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved −23.9% in a year while annual EPS moved −56.3% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is in a downtrend (2 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 97th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −13.3% year on year, and 240% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd trades at ₹827, in a downtrend and 2 weeks into that stage. That is −12.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 26% of a 52-week range of ₹736 to ₹1,087. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (12 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 2 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹827 it trades −12.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 26% of its 52-week range (₹736–₹1,087).

Jul 26: ₹827 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.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (548 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the NIFTY 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the NIFTY 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +105% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (12 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-05) — 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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd trades at 52.9× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (97th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 24.5×, measured across 10.4 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 52.9× is at the pricey end of its own range (97th percentile), against a long-run median of 24.5× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

PEG 9.13 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 7 quarters; values above 6 pinned at the top.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −56.3% against a −23.9% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +0.8%/yr price move, ~−14.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+15.1 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +5.1%/yr price move, ~−4.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+9.1 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

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: Mixed

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).

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE holding at 13.7% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +5.7% in FY26, profit −41.7% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

43.1/100 — rank 4 of 8 in Infra - Engineering - General · 96% evidence confidence

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd scores 43.1 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in Infra - Engineering - General, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18.6 + 11.3 + 8.9 + 4.3 = 43.1. 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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd reported ₹2,048 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +17.4% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 4.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹6,789 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹6,819 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹6,789 Cr (+5.7% on the year), capping 10 years at 4.2% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹2,048 Cr, +17.4% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +5.9% growth against the decade's 4.2% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +6.2% over the last 4 quarters against +4.7%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +0.0% vs +5.3%/yr — 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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd's operating margin is 8.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.0% to 10.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 8.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.0%–10.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.1 pp year on year while gross margin went +4.2 pp — the loss 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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd earned ₹85.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −13.3% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹154 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is −2.1%. That is 4.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹98.0 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹85.0 Cr, −13.3% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹154 Cr (−41.7%), and the 10-year compound rate is −2.1%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +17.4% and the margin −1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +49.6% vs revenue +5.9%. 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.

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 240% of ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹765 Cr of operating cash against ₹154 Cr of profit. After ₹1,167 Cr of capital spending, ₹−402 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹765 Cr against reported profit of ₹154 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−402 Cr after ₹1,167 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 240% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹765 Cr vs profit ₹154 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 11-year window, annual resolution. FY20/FY25 reflects an acquisition year — point shown clipped.

Why conversion sits at 240%: the cash cycle stretched 100 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.

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).

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 192 days in FY26, up from 92 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹657 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹6,789 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹18.6 Cr, so roughly ₹3,571 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 148 days, inventory at 162 days — roughly 5.3 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 192 days, looser than FY21's 92.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 162 days to sell; customers pay about 148 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 118 days — netting out to the 192-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹6,789 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹18.6 Cr — so the 192-day loop keeps roughly ₹3,571 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

FY26: a 192-day cash cycle Debtor days, inventory days, payable days and the cash conversion cycle by fiscal year. 13-year window.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹657 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹481 Cr of depreciation — building somewhat ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹137 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹1,167 Cr, work-in-progress ₹137 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: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd earns a ROCE of 11% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 8% in FY22. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −8.0 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 2.3% net margin on 0.84× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 11%, recovered from a FY22 trough of 8% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 2.3% net margin × 0.84× asset turns × 2.95× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 5.7% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 4.0% − 12.0% = a −8.0 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. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd carries total debt of ₹951 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,888 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.33. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.56 in FY22 to 0.33 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹951 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,888 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.33. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.56 (FY22) to 0.33 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

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.

Domestic institutions added 1.4 points of ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 10.2% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.1 points over the same window, to 3.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +1.4 points over 8 quarters to 10.2%; Foreign institutions: −0.1 points over 8 quarters to 3.8%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 62.4%.

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

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.

ISGEC Heavy Engineering 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.

Is ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −23.9% in a year against EPS −56.3% — the market is paying now for delivery later.
