## Which stock lists is K C P on? K C P is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is K C P profitable? K C P Ltd earned ₹55.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −38.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹276 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 9.0% a year on average. That is 7.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹89.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹276 Cr (+9.1% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +15.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved −8.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −16.4% and revenue +6.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does K C P make, and is it growing? K C P Ltd reported ₹779 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +15.1% 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 7.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹2,576 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,679 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹2,576 Cr, +1.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.3% on average, against 7.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.5%, against −2.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −17.1%, against −7.4% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does K C P keep? K C P Ltd's operating margin was 8.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 8.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 8.0% and 22.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −8.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −9.7 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is K C P's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 58% of K C P Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 it brought in ₹206 Cr of operating cash against ₹276 Cr of profit. After ₹289 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹83.0 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. Why 58% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 50 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 50 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck. ## Where does K C P's cash go? K C P Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 206 days in FY26, up from 156 days in FY21. It spent ₹529 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 22 days to pay, and stock sits for 226 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹2,576 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹7.1 Cr, so roughly ₹1,454 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 22 days to pay and stock sat for 226 days, about 7.4 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 206 days, longer than FY21's 156. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 226 days. Customers pay about 22 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 42 days. Together that makes the 206-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹529 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹259 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 ₹401 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 K C P's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? K C P Ltd's P/E is 11.1×, 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 14.1×, 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. 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 Jun 2026 add up to ₹13.22. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +34.0% while the price moved −25.0%. 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 +3.1% a year; about −3.4% a year came from earnings growth and about +6.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more); over 10 years the price moved +4.3% a year; about +6.6% a year came from earnings growth and about −2.3 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. A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source has, is not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 48% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Is the K C P business getting better or worse? K C P Ltd's business is turning around. EPS growth has swung from −22.0% at its low to −4.5%, rising from a low 4 quarters ago, with ROCE steady at 12.0%. This is based on 8 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. 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 K C P earn on its capital? K C P Ltd earned a ROCE of 12% in FY26. That is up from a low of 6% in FY20. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 10.7% net margin and 0.72× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 10.7% net margin × 0.72× asset turnover × 2.01× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 15.5% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The quarterly return lines and the return-on-capital-used (ROIC) line, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 48% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does K C P have too much debt? K C P Ltd had ₹664 Cr of borrowings against ₹1,782 Cr of equity in FY26, so its debt is 0.37× its equity. Its operating profit is 10 times its interest bill. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹468 Cr to ₹664 Cr. Over the last 3 of those years it spent ₹529 Cr on assets. Part of the spending on assets is being paid for with borrowed money. The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 48% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## What is the K C P shareholding pattern? No group of K C P Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Domestic institutions moved −0.2 points over the same period, to 0.6%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: +0.5 points over 8 quarters, to 44.4%; Domestic institutions: −0.2 points over 8 quarters, to 0.6%; Foreign institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters, to 2.2%. ## How far is K C P from balance-sheet trouble? For K C P Ltd, the Z-score is left out, because it comes from the second data source we could not check, and a safety score is not worth showing when two sources disagree. 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 K C P rank in its industry? 46.8 out of 100, rank 14 of 26 in Cement, with 63% of the evidence available. K C P Ltd scores 46.8 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Cement, ranking 14. 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: 10.9 + 13.2 + 12.9 + 9.8 = 46.8. 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 K C P compared with? K C P ranks 14 of 26 Cement companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 46.8 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.
