Biggest thing to watch: the price has already been rising for 31 weeks, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Precot share price today? Precot Ltd's share price was ₹626.95 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 31 weeks. That is 0.3% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹309 and ₹825, and at that close it sat 62% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the NIFTY 500, and it has been behind for 12 weeks running. Over the last 11 years the share price moved +1,632% while the NIFTY 500 moved +251%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 14 August 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What changed at Precot this quarter?

## Which stock lists is Precot on? Precot is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is Precot profitable? 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. 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. ## How much revenue does Precot make, and is it growing? 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. 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). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Precot keep? 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. 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. ## Is Precot's profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does Precot's cash go? 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. 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. ## What is Precot's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Precot Ltd's P/E is 14.7×, 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +9.0% while the price moved +27.4%. 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 +13.7% a year; about −3.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +17.0 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. ## Is the Precot business getting better or worse? 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. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Precot earn on its capital? Precot Ltd earned a ROCE of 11% in FY26. That is up from a low of −2% in FY15. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.1 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 4.1% net margin and 0.95× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 4.1% net margin × 0.95× asset turnover × 1.94× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.6% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 9.9% − 12.0% = −2.1 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 9.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 8.3%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Precot have too much debt? Precot Ltd has total debt of ₹347 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹481 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.72× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.81 in FY22 to 0.72 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Precot shareholding pattern? No group of Precot Ltd's owners changed its stake by a full percentage point over the last two years. Domestic institutions moved −0.2 points over the same period, to 0.0%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: −0.2 points over 8 quarters, to 0.0%; Domestic institutions: −0.2 points over 8 quarters, to 0.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 61.5%. ## How far is Precot from balance-sheet trouble? For Precot Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Precot rank in its industry? 53.7 out of 100, rank 2 of 3 in Textiles - Technical Textile, with 83% of the evidence available. Precot Ltd scores 53.7 out of 100 against the 3 companies it is compared with in Textiles - Technical Textile, ranking 2. Earnings are strong; relative strength in its sector is -9.7% and the one-year return is 22.4%. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 26.2 + 12.6 + 9.9 + 5 = 53.7. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Precot compared with?

Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
