Motherson Sumi Wiring India 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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd trades at ₹40.6, in a downtrend and 20 weeks into that stage. That is −1.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 28% of a 52-week range of ₹37 to ₹50. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 2 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 20 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹40.6 it trades −1.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 28% of its 52-week range (₹37–₹50).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4.3 years the stock moved +32% while the NIFTY 500 moved +53% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 2 straight weeks — 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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd trades at 43.1× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 27% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 49.4×, measured across 4.2 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 43.1× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 27% of the time, against a long-run median of 49.4× measured over 4.2 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 +3.3% against a +8.2% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +1.2%/yr price move, ~+8.8%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−7.6 pp from the multiple (compressing). 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.

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).

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE slipping at 39.3% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

4-Factor Sector Score

40.0/100 — rank 16 of 20 in Auto Ancillaries - Diversified · 90% evidence confidence

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd scores 40.0 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Auto Ancillaries - Diversified, ranking 16. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 10.7 + 15.9 + 7.1 + 6.3 = 40. 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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd reported ₹3,335 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +32.9% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 5 years it has compounded at 23.9% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹11,478 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹11,478 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹11,478 Cr (+23.2% on the year), capping 5 years at 23.9% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹3,335 Cr, +32.9% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +22.8% growth against the decade's 23.9% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +23.1% over the last 4 quarters against +17.5%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +3.0% vs −1.1%/yr — 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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd's operating margin is 8.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 14.0%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 8.0%, −3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0%–14.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −2.6 pp year on year while gross margin went −4.8 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd earned ₹167 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.2% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹625 Cr. The 5-year compound rate is 9.6%. That is 5.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹165 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹167 Cr, +1.2% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹625 Cr (+3.1%), and the 5-year compound rate is 9.6%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +32.9% and the margin −3.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +3.0% vs revenue +22.8%. 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 103% of Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹761 Cr of operating cash against ₹625 Cr of profit. After ₹269 Cr of capital spending, ₹492 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹761 Cr against reported profit of ₹625 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹492 Cr after ₹269 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 103% 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 103%: the cash cycle tightened 21 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.

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).

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 48 days in FY26, down from 69 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹717 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹11,478 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹31.4 Cr, so roughly ₹1,509 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 60 days, inventory at 82 days — roughly 2.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 48 days, tighter than FY21's 69.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 82 days to sell; customers pay about 60 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 93 days — netting out to the 48-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹11,478 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹31.4 Cr — so the 48-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,509 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹717 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹542 Cr of depreciation — building somewhat ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹2.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd earns a ROCE of 39% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +15.2 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 5.4% net margin on 2.42× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 39%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.4% net margin × 2.42× asset turns × 2.20× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 28.7% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 27.2% − 12.0% = a +15.2 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.

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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd carries total debt of ₹233 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,162 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.11 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.25 in FY22 to 0.11 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹233 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,162 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.11. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.25 (FY22) to 0.11 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not 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.

Foreign institutions cut 1.9 points of Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 8.9% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +1.6 points over the same window, to 17.9%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −1.9 points over 8 quarters to 8.9%; Domestic institutions: +1.6 points over 8 quarters to 17.9%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 61.7%.

Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions −1.9 points against domestic institutions +1.6 points over 8 quarters, with promoters holding steady — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.

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.

Motherson Sumi Wiring India 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.
