Sector Alpha Week of 2026-07-31
Sector Alpha — machine-written from the numbers · Data as of 2026-07-31

Marsons Ltd

MARSONS
Capital Goods - Transformers

Marsons Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +65.0% in a year against a −43.3% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −49% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is in a downtrend (41 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 31st percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +155.6% year on year, and −49% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified. PEG is the exception: the quarterly curve is not drawn at all. PEG asks what is being paid for growth — both sides of that division come from the source that could not be checked, so it is withheld instead of marked.
01 · Price story

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.

Marsons Ltd trades at ₹110, in a downtrend and 41 weeks into that stage. That is −22.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 0% of a 52-week range of ₹110 to ₹184. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (15 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 41 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹110 it trades −22.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 0% of its 52-week range (₹110–₹184).

Jul 26: ₹110 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (491 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the NIFTY 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the NIFTY 500 reading is not held.

Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +845% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (15 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-05-29) — 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.

02 · Valuation

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.

Marsons Ltd trades at 40.9× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 31% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 71.6×, measured across 10.1 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 40.9× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 31% of the time, against a long-run median of 71.6× measured over 10.1 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

31st percentile of 10y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +65.0% against a −43.3% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 10y, of the +22.9%/yr price move, ~+5.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+17.6 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 low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

A quarterly PEG curve, 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.

03 · Stage: Mixed

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).

Marsons Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: revenue growth has eased from +2579.2% at its peak to +45.6% but is still expanding, ROCE holding at 25.0%. The read is built from 11 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.

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.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

58.5/100 — rank 2 of 12 in Capital Goods - Transformers · 77% evidence confidence

Marsons Ltd scores 58.5 out of 100 against the 12 companies it is compared with in Capital Goods - Transformers, ranking 2. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -14.5% and the one-year return is -43.5%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 26.3 + 15.4 + 12.2 + 4.6 = 58.5. 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.

05 · Revenue

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

Marsons Ltd reported ₹93.0 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +66.1% year on year. That is the 9th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 9.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹245 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹246 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹245 Cr (+45.8% on the year), capping 10 years at 9.1% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹93.0 Cr, +66.1% year on year — the 9th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +45.3% growth against the decade's 9.1% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +45.6% over the last 4 quarters against +491.5%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +70.4% vs +4,695.8%/yr — rolling over.

06 · Operating margin

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.

Marsons Ltd's operating margin is 21.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −5,506.0% to 23.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 21.0%, +3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 14 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −5,506.0%–23.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.4 pp year on year while gross margin went −3.0 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

07 · Net profit

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

Marsons Ltd earned ₹23.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +155.6% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹46.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 27.7%. That is 24.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹9.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹23.0 Cr, +155.6% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹46.0 Cr (+64.3%), and the 10-year compound rate is 27.7%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +66.1% and the margin +3.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +61.0% vs revenue +45.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

08 · Cash flow — the router

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 −49% of Marsons Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹2.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹46.0 Cr of profit. After ₹77.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−75.0 Cr was left as free cash. Cash resolution here is annual, because quarterly cash statements are not published.

FY26: operating cash of ₹2.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹46.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−75.0 Cr after ₹77.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −49% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY26: CFO ₹2.0 Cr vs profit ₹46.0 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 11-year window, annual resolution.

🚨 Why conversion sits at −49%: the cash cycle tightened 7,701 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 39.5× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

09 · Where the cash goes

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).

Marsons Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 163 days in FY26, down from 7,864 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹79.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹245 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.7 Cr, so roughly ₹109 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 160 days, inventory at 111 days — roughly 3.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 163 days, tighter than FY21's 7,864.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 111 days to sell; customers pay about 160 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 107 days — netting out to the 163-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹245 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.7 Cr — so the 163-day loop keeps roughly ₹109 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹79.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹2.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹25.0 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.

10 · Return on capital

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.⚠ unverified

Marsons Ltd earns a ROCE of 25% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −101% in FY18. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +11.9 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 18.8% net margin on 0.84× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 25%, recovered from a FY18 trough of −101% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 18.8% net margin × 0.84× asset turns × 1.34× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 21.2% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 23.9% − 12.0% = a +11.9 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.

11 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.⚠ unverified

Marsons Ltd carries total debt of ₹1.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹218 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.00 — effectively unlevered. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

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 Marsons Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Foreign institutions moved +0.1 points over the same window, to 0.1%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +0.2 points over 8 quarters to 0.2%; Foreign institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 53.6%.

13 · Safety line

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.

Marsons 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.

No — Marsons Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.00, and operating profit covers the interest bill 42×. FY26 borrowings were ₹1.0 Cr against equity of ₹217 Cr. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 31 July 2026.

What is Marsons Ltd's capex?

Marsons Ltd spent ₹79.0 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 ₹77.0 Cr, with ₹25.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 31 July 2026.

Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, −49% of Marsons Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹2.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹46.0 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 31 July 2026.

Where is Marsons Ltd in its business cycle?

Marsons Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 17.0%, against a 14-year band of −5,506.0%–23.0%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran 21.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 31 July 2026.

What could break the Marsons Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −49% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch. 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 31 July 2026.

Is Marsons Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Marsons Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +65.0% in a year against a −43.3% price move. The sharpest open question: whether the cash starts following the profit. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 31 July 2026.
