## Which stock lists is Lokesh Machines on? Lokesh Machines is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is Lokesh Machines profitable? Lokesh Machines Ltd earned ₹1.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +119.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹4.0 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 7.2% a year on average. That is 1.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹0.5 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹4.0 Cr (+300.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +15.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.6 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +530.6% and revenue +8.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Lokesh Machines make, and is it growing? Lokesh Machines Ltd reported ₹55.5 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +15.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 5.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹209 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹216 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹209 Cr, −8.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +8.4% on average, against 5.6% 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 +1.0%, against −16.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Lokesh Machines keep? Lokesh Machines Ltd's operating margin was 17.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 10.0% and 24.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +2.5 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Lokesh Machines' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 132% of Lokesh Machines Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 its operations used ₹13.0 Cr of cash, against ₹4.0 Cr of profit. After ₹18.0 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹31.0 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 132% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 122 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 2.9× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Lokesh Machines' cash go? Lokesh Machines Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 584 days in FY26, up from 462 days in FY21. It spent ₹115 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 121 days to pay, and stock sits for 680 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹209 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹0.6 Cr, so roughly ₹334 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 121 days to pay and stock sat for 680 days, about 22.4 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 584 days, longer than FY21's 462. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 680 days. Customers pay about 121 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 217 days. Together that makes the 584-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹115 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹40.0 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 ₹10.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. 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 Lokesh Machines' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Lokesh Machines Ltd's P/E is 181.9×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 95% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 35.7×, over 10 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 ₹2.19. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +589.3% while the price moved +94.7%. 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 +46.8% a year; about −8.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +55.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more); over 10 years the price moved +17.0% a year; about +2.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +14.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). 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 high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Lokesh Machines business getting better or worse? Lokesh Machines Ltd's business is getting better. EPS growth hit its low 3 quarters ago at −99.6% and has recovered to +7200.0%, with ROCE rising at 8.3%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## How much does Lokesh Machines earn on its capital? Lokesh Machines Ltd earned a ROCE of 6% in FY26. That is up from a low of 2% in FY20. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 7.6 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 1.9% net margin and 0.42× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 1.9% net margin × 0.42× asset turnover × 2.18× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 1.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.4% − 12.0% = −7.6 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. ## Does Lokesh Machines have too much debt? Lokesh Machines Ltd has total debt of ₹169 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹228 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.74× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.58 in FY22 to 0.74 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Lokesh Machines shareholding pattern? Promoters cut their stake in Lokesh Machines Ltd by 3.0 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Promoters now own 49.2% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +0.2 points over the same period, to 0.2%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Why the owners changed: promoters drove it (−3.0 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Lokesh Machines from balance-sheet trouble? For Lokesh Machines 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 Lokesh Machines rank in its industry? 48.4 out of 100, rank 2 of 3 in CNC - Machines, with 86% of the evidence available. Lokesh Machines Ltd scores 48.4 out of 100 against the 3 companies it is compared with in CNC - Machines, ranking 2. 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: 20.4 + 7.8 + 12.4 + 7.8 = 48.4. 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 Lokesh Machines compared with? Lokesh Machines ranks 2 of 3 CNC - Machines companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 48.4 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.
