Kinetic Engineering Ltd
KINETICENGKinetic Engineering Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −19.5% in a year against EPS −86.1% — the market is paying now for delivery later.
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved −19.5% in a year while annual EPS moved −86.1% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (4 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 95th percentile of its own 3-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −1,400.0% year on year, and −250% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.
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.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd trades at ₹238, in a confirmed uptrend and 4 weeks into that stage. That is −8.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 21% of a 52-week range of ₹208 to ₹353. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 1 straight week.
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 4 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹238 it trades −8.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 21% of its 52-week range (₹208–₹353).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +187% while the NIFTY 500 moved +278% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 1 straight week — 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.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd trades at 398.7× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (95th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 87.8×, measured across 3.2 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 398.7× is at the pricey end of its own range (95th percentile), against a long-run median of 87.8× measured over 3.2 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 −86.1% against a −19.5% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +24.8%/yr price move, ~−21.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+46.4 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.
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).
Kinetic Engineering Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — revenue growth is rising at +25.4% while eps growth is falling at −241.6% — the curves disagree, so the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
The latest quarter’s profit carries a one-off item larger than the operating base, so the profit curve is shown but does not vote in the stage call.
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
34.3/100 — rank 2 of 2 in Auto Ancillaries - Others · 66% evidence confidence
Kinetic Engineering Ltd scores 34.3 out of 100 against the 2 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Others, ranking 2. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 17 + 4.3 + 10 + 3 = 34.3. 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.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd reported ₹51.0 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +45.7% year on year. That is the 4th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 10.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹158 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹173 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹158 Cr (+11.3% on the year), capping 10 years at 10.2% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹51.0 Cr, +45.7% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +25.9% growth against the decade's 10.2% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +25.4% over the last 4 quarters against +6.7%/yr over the last 8 — 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.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd's operating margin is −19.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −13.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −29.0% to 9.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is −19.0%, −13.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −29.0%–9.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −13.7 pp year on year while gross margin went −7.5 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd posted a net loss of ₹13.0 Cr in the Jun 26 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1.0 Cr. That loss is 25.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹1.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Jun 26 profit was ₹−13.0 Cr, −1,400.0% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹1.0 Cr (−83.3%).
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +45.7% and the margin −13.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −533.3% vs revenue +25.9%. 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 −250% of Kinetic Engineering Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−19.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹1.0 Cr of profit. After ₹37.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−56.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹−19.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹1.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−56.0 Cr after ₹37.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −250% 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 −250%: the cash cycle stretched 194 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.
Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 194 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.
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).
Kinetic Engineering Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 193 days in FY26, up from −1 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹77.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹158 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.4 Cr, so roughly ₹84.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 82 days, inventory at 295 days — roughly 9.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 193 days, looser than FY21's −1.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 295 days to sell; customers pay about 82 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 184 days — netting out to the 193-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹158 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.4 Cr — so the 193-day loop keeps roughly ₹84.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹77.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹19.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹22.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.
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.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd earns a ROCE of 4% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −13% in FY16. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 0.6% net margin on 0.54× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 4%, recovered from a FY16 trough of −13% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 0.6% net margin × 0.54× asset turns × 1.97× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 0.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
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.
Kinetic Engineering Ltd carries ₹71.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹149 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.48. Operating profit covers the interest bill 1×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹88.0 Cr to ₹71.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹77.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.
FY26: borrowings of ₹71.0 Cr against equity of ₹149 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.48. Operating profit covers the interest bill 1×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹88.0 Cr to ₹71.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹77.0 Cr in just the last 3 — the build-out is being paid for out of cash, not debt.
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.
Promoters added 5.7 points of Kinetic Engineering Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 65.0% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −4.7 points over the same window, to 3.2%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Promoters: +5.7 points over 8 quarters to 65.0%; Foreign institutions: −4.7 points over 8 quarters to 3.2%; Domestic institutions: +0.7 points over 8 quarters to 0.7%.
Why the register moved: promoters drove it (+5.7 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (−4.7 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.
Kinetic 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.

It is moderate — Kinetic Engineering Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.48, and operating profit covers the interest bill 1×. FY26 borrowings were ₹71.0 Cr against equity of ₹149 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 14 August 2026.
What is Kinetic Engineering Ltd's capex?
Kinetic Engineering Ltd spent ₹77.0 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY26 alone that was ₹37.0 Cr, with ₹22.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 14 August 2026.
What is Kinetic Engineering Ltd's cash flow?
Kinetic Engineering Ltd consumed ₹19.0 Cr of operating cash in FY26 — cash flowed out rather than in (free cash flow: ₹−56.0 Cr). Operating cash was negative while the company reported a profit of ₹1.0 Cr. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 14 August 2026.
Is Kinetic Engineering Ltd's profit real cash?

The latest quarter ran −19.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 14 August 2026.
What could break the Kinetic Engineering Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved −19.5% in a year while annual EPS moved −86.1% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 14 August 2026.
Is Kinetic Engineering Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Kinetic Engineering Ltd's price has outrun its earnings. −19.5% in a year against EPS −86.1% — the market is paying now for delivery later. The sharpest open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 14 August 2026.
