Precot is not on any of our India lists this week.

Precot Ltd earned ₹27.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +145.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹36.0 Cr. That is 11.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹11.0 Cr.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹36.0 Cr (+9.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +19.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +6.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +69.0% and revenue +3.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Precot Ltd reported ₹246 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +19.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 2.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹886 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹926 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹886 Cr, +2.1% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +3.8% on average, against 2.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +2.9%, against −0.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +48.6%, against +33.9% a year (accelerating).

Precot Ltd's operating margin was 20.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 6.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 2.9% and 19.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

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 +6.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +2.7 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 380% of Precot Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹90.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹36.0 Cr of profit. After ₹66.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹24.0 Cr was left over as free cash.

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.

Why 380% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 18 days shorter between FY21 and FY26, so cash that used to wait in the business now arrives sooner.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.5× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Precot Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 141 days in FY26, down from 159 days in FY21. It spent ₹172 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 56 days to pay, and stock sits for 127 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 ₹886 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹2.4 Cr, so roughly ₹342 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 56 days to pay and stock sat for 127 days, about 4.2 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 141 days, shorter than FY21's 159.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 127 days. Customers pay about 56 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 41 days. Together that makes the 141-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹172 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹68.0 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 ₹5.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Precot Ltd's P/E is 14.9×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 56% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.3×, over 5.7 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +9.0% while the price moved +32.9%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +14.0% a year; about −3.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +17.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Precot Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE rising at 17.9%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

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.
