How much of every ₹100 of sales does M & B Engineering keep?
M & B Engineering Ltd's operating margin was 11.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 years it has been between 6.0% and 13.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.
Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.
Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.5 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.
FY26: 11.0%, within a range of 6.0% to 13.0% over 7 years

Is M & B Engineering's profit turning into cash?
Over the last 3 years, 3% of M & B Engineering Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 its operations used ₹31.0 Cr of cash, against ₹93.0 Cr of profit. After ₹31.0 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹62.0 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in.
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.
Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.
FY26: operating cash −₹31.0 Cr against profit ₹93.0 Cr; 3% of 3 years' profit came in as cash
- Operating cash −₹31.0
- Net profit ₹93.0
- Free cash −₹62
| Quarter | Operating cash | Net profit | Free cash |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY20 | ₹48 | ₹11 | – |

| FY24 | ₹5 | ₹46 | −₹66 |
| FY25 | ₹33 | ₹77 | −₹15 |
| FY26 | −₹31 | ₹93 | −₹62 |
FY26: operating cash was −33% of profit (3% over three years)
- Operating cash as % of profit −33%
- Break-even line 100%
| Quarter | Operating cash as % of profit | Break-even line |
|---|---|---|
| FY20 | 300% | 100% |
| FY21 | 133% | 100% |
| FY22 | 256% | 100% |
| FY23 | 88% | 100% |
| FY24 | 11% | 100% |
| FY25 | 43% | 100% |
| FY26 | −33% | 100% |
Why 3% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 36 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 36 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck.
Where does M & B Engineering's cash go?
M & B Engineering Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 137 days in FY26, up from 101 days in FY21. It spent ₹150 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 69 days to pay, and stock sits for 175 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 ₹1,260 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹3.5 Cr, so roughly ₹473 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.
FY26: customers took 69 days to pay and stock sat for 175 days, about 5.8 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 137 days, longer than FY21's 101.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 175 days. Customers pay about 69 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 107 days. Together that makes the 137-day cycle.
FY26: a 137-day cash cycle, +36 days compared with FY21
- Cash cycle 137d
- Inventory days 175d
- Debtor days 69d
- Payable days 107d
| Quarter | Cash cycle | Inventory days | Debtor days | Payable days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY20 | 55d | 129d | 66d | 140d |
| FY21 | 101d | 160d | 81d | 139d |
| FY22 | 65d | 150d | 64d | 149d |
| FY23 | 72d | 95d | 49d | 73d |
| FY24 | 129d | 125d | 64d | 59d |
| FY25 | 131d | 197d | 71d | 137d |
| FY26 | 137d | 175d | 69d | 107d |
Spending on assets: ₹150 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹37.0 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 ₹14.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.
FY26: capex ₹31.0 Cr, work in progress ₹14.0 Cr, a build-out
- Capex ₹31.0
- Work-in-progress ₹14.0
| Quarter | Capex | Work-in-progress |
|---|---|---|
| FY21 | ₹14 | ₹4 |
| FY22 | ₹7 | ₹2 |
| FY23 | ₹20 | ₹2 |
| FY24 | ₹71 | ₹66 |
| FY25 | ₹48 | ₹2 |
| FY26 | ₹31 | ₹14 |
In short: cash is getting stuck in the daily cycle, so watch the cycle more than the profit.
What is M & B Engineering's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history?

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +5.2% while the price moved −48.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.
In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.
Is the M & B Engineering business getting better or worse?
M & B Engineering 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.

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.
There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.
Compound annual growth rate (%)
Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the share price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

How much does M & B Engineering earn on its capital?
M & B Engineering Ltd earned a ROCE of 23% in FY26. That is up from a low of 11% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 7.4% net margin and 1.09× 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 7.4% net margin × 1.09× asset turnover × 1.77× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 14.3% 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: 14.9% − 12.0% = +2.9 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. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error.
The 14.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 18.7%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Does M & B Engineering have too much debt?
M & B Engineering Ltd has total debt of ₹84.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹657 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.13× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.62 in FY25 to 0.13 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money.
Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

What is the M & B Engineering shareholding pattern?
Foreign institutions cut their stake in M & B Engineering Ltd by 4.6 percentage points over 4 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 0.2% of the company. Domestic institutions moved −4.5 points over the same period, to 8.9%. 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: Foreign institutions: −4.6 points over 4 quarters, to 0.2%; Domestic institutions: −4.5 points over 4 quarters, to 8.9%; Promoters: +0.1 points over 4 quarters, to 70.6%.
Why the owners changed: foreign institutions drove it (−4.6 points), together with domestic institutions (−4.5 points). They reduced their stake.

How far is M & B Engineering from balance-sheet trouble?
For M & B Engineering 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 M & B Engineering rank in its industry?
53.2 out of 100, rank 4 of 5 in Pre-Engineering Buildings, with 74% of the evidence available.
M & B Engineering Ltd scores 53.2 out of 100 against the 5 companies it is compared with in Pre-Engineering Buildings, ranking 4. The valuation scores well, but earnings are not improving yet, so the business does not back up the low multiple so far.

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.
