JTEKT India 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.

JTEKT India Ltd trades at ₹121, in a downtrend and 34 weeks into that stage. That is −11.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 0% of a 52-week range of ₹121 to ₹161. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (4 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 34 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹121 it trades −11.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 0% of its 52-week range (₹121–₹161).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +187% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (4 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-08-14) — 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.

JTEKT India Ltd trades at 43.6× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 33% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 47.8×, measured across 10.5 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 43.6× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 33% of the time, against a long-run median of 47.8× measured over 10.5 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 +2.2% against a −27.4% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +4.0%/yr price move, ~+9.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−5.2 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +7.2%/yr price move, ~+13.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−6.0 pp from the multiple (compressing). 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 low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 17% on reported income across 20 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — 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.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, JTEKT India Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 22.3% a year. Profit itself has compounded 11.9% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 43.6× P/E, the 33rd percentile of its own 11-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 above what this company has actually delivered. A multiple that looks low because earnings fell is not the same thing as a low bar to clear.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. 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.

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).

JTEKT India Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −29.6% at the trough to +1.5% off a 4-quarter-old trough, ROCE slipping at 10.0%. The read is built from 12 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

37.0/100 — rank 5 of 7 in Auto Ancillaries - Gears · 82% evidence confidence

JTEKT India Ltd scores 37.0 out of 100 against the 7 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Gears, ranking 5. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.6 + 10.4 + 10 + 0 = 37. 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.

JTEKT India Ltd reported ₹718 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +26.8% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 9.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹2,666 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,818 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹2,666 Cr (+11.1% on the year), capping 10 years at 9.5% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹718 Cr, +26.8% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +16.9% growth against the decade's 9.5% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +16.8% over the last 4 quarters against +10.2%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +1.5% vs −16.3%/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.

JTEKT India Ltd's operating margin is 5.3% in the Jun 26 quarter, −0.1 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 15 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 7.0% to 13.0%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 5.3%, −0.1 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 15 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 7.0%–13.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −0.1 pp year on year while gross margin went −0.9 pp — the loss 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.

JTEKT India Ltd earned ₹6.2 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, −42.5% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹77.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 11.9%. That is 0.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹10.8 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹6.2 Cr, −42.5% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹77.0 Cr (+2.7%), and the 10-year compound rate is 11.9%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +26.8% and the margin −0.1 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −3.1% vs revenue +16.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches 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 180% of JTEKT India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹99.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹77.0 Cr of profit. After ₹441 Cr of capital spending, ₹−342 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹99.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹77.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−342 Cr after ₹441 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 180% 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 180%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 3.9× 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).

JTEKT India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 37 days in FY26, down from 39 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹1,018 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹2,666 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹7.3 Cr, so roughly ₹270 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 52 days, inventory at 43 days — roughly 1.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 37 days, tighter than FY21's 39.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 43 days to sell; customers pay about 52 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 58 days — netting out to the 37-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹2,666 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹7.3 Cr — so the 37-day loop keeps roughly ₹270 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹1,018 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹263 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹400 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.

JTEKT India Ltd earns a ROCE of 10% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 3% in FY21. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 2.9% net margin on 1.35× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 10%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 3% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 2.9% net margin × 1.35× asset turns × 1.67× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 6.5% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 17% on reported income across 20 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

JTEKT India Ltd carries ₹340 Cr of borrowings against ₹1,186 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.29. Operating profit covers the interest bill 13×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹49.0 Cr to ₹340 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹1,018 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹340 Cr against equity of ₹1,186 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.29. Operating profit covers the interest bill 13×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹49.0 Cr to ₹340 Cr while capital spending ran ₹1,018 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 17% on reported income across 20 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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 1.3 points of JTEKT India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 10.2% of the company. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 75.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +1.3 points over 8 quarters to 10.2%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 75.0%; Foreign institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.6%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+1.3 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

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.

JTEKT India 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.
