Manipal Health Enterprises 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.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd trades at ₹739, between stages. That is +8.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 60% of a 52-week range of ₹651 to ₹798. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (5 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is between stages. At ₹739 it trades +8.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 60% of its 52-week range (₹651–₹798).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1 months the stock moved +11% while the NIFTY 500 moved −4% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (5 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-09-10) — 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.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd trades at 110.0× P/E, against too little history to rank. Its long-run median P/E is 94.2×, measured across 0.1 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 110.0× is against too little history to rank, against a long-run median of 94.2× measured over 0.1 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

The PEG ratio, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Stage: No read 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).

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 4 quarters across 1 curve, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

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.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd reported ₹3,091 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +38.1% year on year. Over 5 years it has compounded at 41.6% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹10,336 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹12,924 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹10,336 Cr (+25.4% on the year), capping 5 years at 41.6% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹3,091 Cr, +38.1% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +38.1% growth against the decade's 41.6% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

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.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd's operating margin is 24.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 18.0% to 27.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 24.0%, −2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 18.0%–27.0%.

Why: the numbers show the operating margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd earned ₹243 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, −4.3% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹917 Cr. That is 7.9% of the quarter's revenue.

Jun 26 profit was ₹243 Cr, −4.3% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹917 Cr (−15.2%).

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 199% of Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹2,078 Cr of operating cash against ₹917 Cr of profit. After ₹9,788 Cr of capital spending, ₹−7,710 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹2,078 Cr against reported profit of ₹917 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−7,710 Cr after ₹9,788 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 199% 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 199%: the cash cycle stretched 135 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 9.7× 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).

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −190 days in FY26, up from −325 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹15,315 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹10,336 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹28.3 Cr, so roughly ₹−5,380 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 33 days, inventory at 29 days — roughly 1.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −190 days, looser than FY21's −325.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 29 days to sell; customers pay about 33 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 253 days — netting out to the −190-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹10,336 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹28.3 Cr — so the −190-day loop keeps roughly ₹−5,380 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹15,315 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹1,584 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹795 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.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd earns a ROCE of 12% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −3.5 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 8.9% net margin on 0.42× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 12%.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 8.9% net margin × 0.42× asset turns × 2.94× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.0% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 8.5% − 12.0% = a −3.5 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

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.

Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd carries ₹12,863 Cr of borrowings against ₹8,426 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 1.53. Operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹1,575 Cr to ₹12,863 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹15,315 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹12,863 Cr against equity of ₹8,426 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 1.53. Operating profit covers the interest bill 3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹1,575 Cr to ₹12,863 Cr while capital spending ran ₹15,315 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

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.

No holder of Manipal Health Enterprises Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

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.

Manipal Health Enterprises 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.
