PG Electroplast 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.

PG Electroplast Ltd trades at ₹545, in a confirmed uptrend and 5 weeks into that stage. That is −4.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 51% of a 52-week range of ₹454 to ₹631. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (2 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 5 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹545 it trades −4.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 51% of its 52-week range (₹454–₹631).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +4,619% while the NIFTY 500 moved +273% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (2 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-08-28) — 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.

PG Electroplast Ltd trades at 75.9× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (77th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 59.9×, measured across 10.6 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 75.9× is at the pricey end of its own range (77th percentile), against a long-run median of 59.9× measured over 10.6 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 −32.3% against a −4.4% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +72.6%/yr price move, ~+63.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+9.3 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 full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, PG Electroplast Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 33.2% a year. Profit itself has compounded 58.2% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 75.9× P/E, the 77th percentile of its own 11-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements.

Stage: Deteriorating 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).

PG Electroplast Ltd reads as deteriorating on its fundamental arc. Deteriorating — profit and EPS growth are shrinking (profit growth −24.0% latest against +113.3% at its 12-quarter best), ROCE slipping at 10.9%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

🚨 Why it matters: falling curves mean every cheap-looking ratio below needs a discount for direction.

4-Factor Sector Score

31.4/100 — rank 7 of 9 in Consumer Electronics - EMS · 100% evidence confidence

PG Electroplast Ltd scores 31.4 out of 100 against the 9 companies it is compared with in Consumer Electronics - EMS, ranking 7. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 11.7 + 9.1 + 6 + 4.6 = 31.4. 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.

PG Electroplast Ltd reported ₹2,034 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +35.2% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 35.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹5,288 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,818 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹5,288 Cr (+8.6% on the year), capping 10 years at 35.2% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹2,034 Cr, +35.2% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +17.1% growth against the decade's 35.2% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +15.1% over the last 4 quarters against +31.0%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit −24.0% vs +5.5%/yr — rolling over.

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.

PG Electroplast Ltd's operating margin is 7.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 16 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −1.0% to 10.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 7.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 16 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −1.0%–10.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −0.8 pp year on year while gross margin went −3.2 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.

PG Electroplast Ltd earned ₹76.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +13.4% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹197 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 58.2%. That is 3.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹67.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹76.0 Cr, +13.4% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹197 Cr (−31.6%), and the 10-year compound rate is 58.2%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +35.2% and the margin −1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −17.8% vs revenue +17.1%. 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 29% of PG Electroplast Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹70.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹197 Cr of profit. After ₹728 Cr of capital spending, ₹−658 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹70.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹197 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−658 Cr after ₹728 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 29% 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 29%: the cash cycle stretched 32 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 32 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

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).

PG Electroplast Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 69 days in FY26, up from 37 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹1,473 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹5,288 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹14.5 Cr, so roughly ₹1,000 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 82 days, inventory at 134 days — roughly 4.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 69 days, looser than FY21's 37.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 134 days to sell; customers pay about 82 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 147 days — netting out to the 69-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹5,288 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹14.5 Cr — so the 69-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,000 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹1,473 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹201 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹312 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.

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.

PG Electroplast Ltd earns a ROCE of 10% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −4% in FY14. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −4.5 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 3.7% net margin on 0.89× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 10%, recovered from a FY14 trough of −4% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 3.7% net margin × 0.89× asset turns × 1.95× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 6.4% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 7.5% − 12.0% = a −4.5 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. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

PG Electroplast Ltd carries total debt of ₹597 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹3,049 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.20 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.28 in FY22 to 0.20 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹597 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹3,049 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.20. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.28 (FY22) to 0.20 (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.

Domestic institutions added 14.0 points of PG Electroplast Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 23.9% of the company. Promoters moved −10.2 points over the same window, to 43.4%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +14.0 points over 8 quarters to 23.9%; Promoters: −10.2 points over 8 quarters to 43.4%; Foreign institutions: −1.1 points over 8 quarters to 9.9%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+14.0 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (−10.2 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

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.

PG Electroplast 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.
