It has been falling for 50 weeks. That is 9.1% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹577 and ₹864, and at that close it sat 15% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the NIFTY 500, and it has stayed ahead for 7 weeks in a row. Over the last 11 years the share price moved +85% while the NIFTY 500 moved +251%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What changed at IST this quarter? Three changes stood out: operating margin down 26 points on a year earlier, highest quarterly profit in 15 quarters and highest quarterly revenue in 13 quarters. 1. Operating margin down 26 points on a year earlier 46% in the June 2026 quarter, from 72%. 2. Highest quarterly profit in 15 quarters Profit of ₹83 crore in the June 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 15 quarters. 3. Highest quarterly revenue in 13 quarters Revenue of ₹35 crore in the June 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 13 quarters. ## What are IST's latest quarterly results? For April to June 2026 (the quarter ended 30 June 2026), IST reported revenue of ₹35.0 crore, up 20.7% from ₹29.0 crore a year earlier, and a profit of ₹83.0 crore, up 15.3% from ₹72.0 crore. ### IST results: April to June 2026 against a year earlier

## What is the latest news on IST? 3 Nov 2026: IST closed at ₹619.10, up 0.3% on the week and down 2.5% on the month. Results for April to June 2026: Revenue up 20.7% and profit up 15.3% on a year earlier. ## What dividend does IST pay? IST has paid no dividend on the NSE since 1 April 2021, the start of the period we checked. No. IST Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in each of its last 13 reported years, so there is no payout history to show. That comes from the filed annual statements, not an estimate. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.)

## Which stock lists is IST on? IST is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is IST profitable? IST Ltd earned ₹83.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. That quarter includes a one-off gain bigger than its revenue, so the comparison with last year does not reflect normal business. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹154 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 8.2% a year on average. That is 237.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹72.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Jun 2026 profit was ₹83.0 Cr, +15.3% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹154 Cr (+10.0% on the year before). Read this profit with care: at ₹83.0 Cr it is bigger than the quarter's whole revenue of ₹35.0 Cr. No business earns more than it takes in from sales, so this is a one-off item (for example a debt settlement, a tax write-back or an asset sale), not money the business earned. The underlying business is running at a 46.0% operating margin. The jump on last year, and any P/E built on this profit, come from the one-off, not from a real turn in earnings. ## How much revenue does IST make, and is it growing? IST Ltd reported ₹35.0 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +20.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 4.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹126 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹132 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹126 Cr, +9.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.4% on average, against 4.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +14.8%, against +9.5% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +3.1%, against +7.5% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does IST keep? IST Ltd's operating margin was 46.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 26.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 63.0% and 79.0%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −26.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.4 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is IST's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 31% of IST Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 it brought in ₹85.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹154 Cr of profit. After −₹32.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹117 Cr was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 31% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 420 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives. When less than 70% of profit comes in as cash, it is the thing to watch on this page. What to look at next: less of the profit turns into cash than it should, and the cash cycle is 420 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck. ## Where does IST's cash go? IST Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 580 days in FY26, up from 160 days in FY21. It spent ₹18.0 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 24 days to pay, and stock sits for 570 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹126 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹0.3 Cr, so roughly ₹200 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 24 days to pay and stock sat for 570 days, about 18.8 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 580 days, longer than FY21's 160. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 570 days. Customers pay about 24 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 15 days. Together that makes the 580-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹18.0 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹16.0 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building a little beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹0.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: cash is getting stuck in the daily cycle, so watch the cycle more than the profit. ## What is IST's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? IST Ltd's P/E is 4.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 18% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 6.4×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +9.7% while the price moved −28.9%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +3.8% a year; about +10.2% a year came from earnings growth and about −6.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved +5.5% a year; about +10.0% a year came from earnings growth and about −4.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the IST business getting better or worse? IST Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 13.0% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does IST earn on its capital? IST Ltd earned a ROCE of 13% in FY26. That is up from a low of 10% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 8.9 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 122.2% net margin and 0.07× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 122.2% net margin × 0.07× asset turnover × 1.08× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 9.2% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.1% − 12.0% = −8.9 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 3.1% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 4.5%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does IST have too much debt? IST Ltd has total debt of ₹4.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,692 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.00× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.01 in FY22 to 0.00 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the IST shareholding pattern? No group of IST Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Domestic institutions moved +0.0 points over the same period, to 1.1%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 75.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 1.1%. ## How far is IST from balance-sheet trouble? For IST Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does IST rank in its industry? 48.3 out of 100, rank 3 of 4 in Auto Ancillaries - Spare Parts Accessories, with 78% of the evidence available. IST Ltd scores 48.3 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Spare Parts Accessories, ranking 3. The valuation scores well, but earnings are not improving yet, so the business does not back up the low multiple so far. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 11.7 + 11.9 + 17.2 + 7.5 = 48.3. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is IST compared with? IST ranks 3 of 4 Auto Ancillaries - Spare Parts Accessories companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 48.3 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

IST Ltd's share price has been falling for 50 weeks. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 20.7% and profit rose 15.3% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the NIFTY 500, for 7 weeks running (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will IST's share price go up? This page does not forecast IST Ltd's share price.

The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +9.7% while the share price moved −28.9%. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is IST a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: IST Ltd's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer.

Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
