JSW Cement Ltd's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer.

Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business.

The price has been falling for 6 weeks, and the P/E is lower than 81% of its own last 8 months. Over the last four quarters, results have been improving, with profit +4.0% on a year earlier, and 602% of the last 3 years' profit came in as cash. What will decide it: the next one or two quarters of results.

Left out of this page: Its two data sources disagree by up to 111% on reported income across 9 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is shown here. That is why the PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, the quarterly return curves, the yearly return-on-capital-used (ROIC) line, the total-debt and debt-to-equity series and the F-score and the return-on-capital-used (ROIC) reading are missing. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data.

Each bar is one week, from 2025 to now (55 weeks with a reading). Green means the stock's return over the previous 13 weeks beat the NIFTY 500; red means it trailed. The colour is strongest at a gap of 25 percentage points or more. A gap means there is no reading for that week.

Over the last 1 year the share price moved −17% while the NIFTY 500 moved −5%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 31 July 2026. 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 JSW Cement this quarter?

Three changes stood out: indian funds and insurers (DIIs) raised their stake for 4 quarters in a row, revenue up on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare) and profit up on a year earlier for 5 quarters in a row.

  1. Indian funds and insurers (DIIs) raised their stake for 4 quarters in a row

    From 7.9% to 12.3% of the company by the September 2026 quarter.

  2. Revenue up on a year earlier for 6 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare)

    In the September 2026 quarter revenue was ₹1,912 crore, +33.1% on a year earlier.

    Why: Revenue rose because the company sold much more cement in its channel and to other businesses.

    Next results: check whether Nagaur uses its extra grinding capacity after the October addition.

    From the earnings call on 28 Oct 2026.

  3. Profit up on a year earlier for 5 quarters in a row

    In the September 2026 quarter profit was ₹78 crore, +4% on a year earlier.

    Why: Profit rose because the company sold more cement and its North plant stopped losing money, which helped cover higher fuel costs.

    Next results: check whether the fuel the company has already bought and October price rises are enough to protect profit from higher fuel costs.

    From the earnings call on 28 Oct 2026.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −4.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −4.9 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Is JSW Cement's profit turning into cash?

Over the last 3 years, 602% of JSW Cement Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,170 Cr of operating cash against −₹799 Cr of profit.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

After ₹1,955 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹785 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Operating cash as a share of net profit, each year, % (line). The flat line marks 100%, meaning all of the profit came in as cash; unusual years are drawn at the edge.

Why 602% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 11 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 4.5× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Where does JSW Cement's cash go?

JSW Cement Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −136 days in FY26, up from −147 days in FY21. It spent ₹4,130 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 48 days to pay, and stock sits for 132 days on average.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

At FY26 sales of ₹6,501 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹17.8 Cr, so roughly −₹2,422 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 48 days to pay and stock sat for 132 days, about 4.3 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −136 days, longer than FY21's −147.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 132 days. Customers pay about 48 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 317 days. Together that makes the −136-day cycle.

FY26: a −136-day cash cycle, +11 days compared with FY21

Spending on assets: ₹4,130 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹910 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹976 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

Capital spending each year, ₹ Cr, with work in progress, ₹ Cr, as the line. Quarterly capital-spending figures are not available for India, so this is yearly.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

What is JSW Cement's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history?

JSW Cement Ltd's P/E is 21.0×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 19% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 27.8×, over 8 months of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Sep 2026 add up to ₹5.57.

In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Is the JSW Cement business getting better or worse?

JSW Cement Ltd's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 6 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Where the 12-month history is short, the line uses single-quarter growth instead, which is noisier; extreme jumps from a tiny base are evened out before reading. Extreme jumps from a tiny base are drawn at the edge (▲). A gap means there is no reading for that quarter.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

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.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

How much does JSW Cement earn on its capital?

JSW Cement Ltd earned a ROCE of 11% in FY26. That is up from a low of 5% in FY25. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a −12.3% net margin and 0.45× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it, from shareholders and lenders together. It is the best single test of whether growth adds value or just size.

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −12.3% net margin × 0.45× asset turnover × 2.20× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −12.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

Does JSW Cement have too much debt?

JSW Cement Ltd had ₹4,464 Cr of borrowings against ₹6,550 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.68× its equity. Its operating profit is 3 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹3,189 Cr to ₹4,464 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹4,130 Cr on assets.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Interest cover shows how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low debt and high cover are the safe combination.

Part of the spending on assets is being paid for with borrowed money.

What is the JSW Cement shareholding pattern?

Domestic institutions raised their stake in JSW Cement Ltd by 4.4 percentage points over 4 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 12.3% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +0.5 points over the same period, to 4.6%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings.

Who owns the company each quarter: promoters (the founders or controlling owners), foreign institutions, domestic institutions such as mutual funds, and the public. When people close to the business steadily raise their stake, that is worth noticing; a quiet list is also an answer.

Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +4.4 points over 4 quarters, to 12.3%; Foreign institutions: +0.5 points over 4 quarters, to 4.6%; Promoters: −0.3 points over 4 quarters, to 72.0%.

Why the owners changed: domestic institutions drove it (+4.4 points), together with foreign institutions (+0.5 points). They raised their stake step by step.

How far is JSW Cement from balance-sheet trouble?

For JSW Cement 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.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

How does JSW Cement rank in its industry?

59.3 out of 100, rank 5 of 26 in Cement, with 60% of the evidence available.

JSW Cement Ltd scores 59.3 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Cement, ranking 5. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer.

The four parts add up to the total exactly: 25.8 + 12.3 + 10.4 + 10.8 = 59.3. 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.

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.
