(From the call for April to June 2026, 31 July 2026.) ## What is the future of Pricol? What is changing in the business? What is changing at Pricol, from the latest results and calls: premiumization and digital tft cluster penetration, polymer division (p3l) capacity doubling and value upgradation and new product verticals: handlebar switches and disc brakes. - Premiumization and Digital TFT Cluster Penetration. Rising adoption of digital TFT displays and connected clusters across two-wheelers and passenger vehicles expanding content per vehicle. ✓ fact - Polymer Division (P3L) Capacity Doubling and Value Upgradation. ₹400 Cr capital allocation to double precision polymer turnover capacity from ₹1,000 Cr toward ₹2,000 Cr. ✓ fact - New Product Verticals: Handlebar Switches and Disc Brakes. Diversification into disc brakes and handlebar switches unlocking incremental content per vehicle. ✓ fact - Customer Diversification and Export Acceleration. Broadening OEM customer footprint with Honda, electric vehicle entrants, and international off-highway programs. ✓ fact We check 16 kinds of change in every company, such as costs spread over more sales, higher-value products, new orders, new regions or falling debt, against its reported numbers and what management said on its calls. Only changes the numbers back are shown. (Our read after the April to June 2026 results, written 22 August 2026.) ## What could change the Pricol story? What are the risks? A failure of customer indexation to restore consolidated operating profit margin above 12.0% by October to December 2026, combined with market share loss in digital clusters below 30% or a sustained deterioration in working capital days exceeding 25 days. ### Each change stops working if - Polymer Division (P3L) Capacity Doubling and Value Upgradation: Facility commissioning at Hosur or Sanand encounters delays or raw material inflation (polymer resin +55%) cannot be passed through to OEMs. - New Product Verticals: Handlebar Switches and Disc Brakes: OEM validation hurdles delay commercial ramp-up past FY28 or incumbent brake manufacturers protect pricing. - Customer Diversification and Export Acceleration: Global macroeconomic deceleration dampens export off-take or domestic OEM customer concentration persists. ### The main risks - Input Cost Inflation and Tripartite Absorption Drag: Raw material and utility cost inflation exceeding standard indexation recovery mechanisms. ⚠ estimate - Capital Expenditure Execution and Return Dilution: ₹700 Cr expansion program over 18-24 months diluting capital return ratios during the construction phase. ⚠ estimate - New Vertical Timeline Deferrals and Strategic Reversals: Repeated delays in disc brake monetization and strategic exit from battery management systems. ⚠ estimate (Our read after the April to June 2026 results, written 22 August 2026.) ## What to watch in Pricol's next results? When Pricol reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Q2 customer indexation: check whether the expected 75.0% pass-through offsets raw-material, freight, forex and minimum-wage pressures, and whether operating margin begins recovering. - What to check (from the call) - Q2 customer indexation: check whether the expected 75.0% pass-through offsets raw-material, freight, forex and minimum-wage pressures, and whether operating margin begins recovering. - Polymer performance: monitor whether cost corrections and available capacity produce healthier Q2 results despite the existing order pipeline and capacity bottleneck. - Demerger execution: track internal separation around October and progress toward the stated minimum 4-quarter process and hoped-for 12-month completion. - New-product traction: monitor switches and disc-brake ramp-up, export order progress and DIS-CBS and ACFMS growth relative to market growth. ## Which stock lists is Pricol on? Pricol is not on any of our India lists this week. ## Is Pricol profitable? Pricol Ltd earned ₹67.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +34.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹251 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 39.5% a year on average. That is 6.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹50.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹251 Cr (+50.3% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +23.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +60.2% and revenue +45.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,099 Cr and profit ₹73 Cr as reported. FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,105 Cr and profit ₹67 Cr as reported. Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters. ## How much revenue does Pricol make, and is it growing? Pricol Ltd reported ₹1,105 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +23.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 41.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,041 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹4,250 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹4,041 Cr, +50.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +45.2% on average, against 41.9% 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 +43.2%, against +34.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +56.7%, against +31.5% a year (accelerating). FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,099 Cr and profit ₹73 Cr as reported. FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,105 Cr and profit ₹67 Cr as reported. Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters. ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Pricol keep? Pricol Ltd's operating margin was 11.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, about the same as the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 years it has been between −4.0% and 13.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. In the latest quarter it moved +0.0 percentage points on the same quarter a year ago. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. FY26-Q4. revenue ₹1,099 Cr and profit ₹73 Cr as reported. FY27-Q1. revenue ₹1,105 Cr and profit ₹67 Cr as reported. Why-sources: our stock research file (22 August 2026) and the company’s own results for those quarters. ## Is Pricol's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 136% of Pricol Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹281 Cr of operating cash against ₹251 Cr of profit. After ₹336 Cr of spending on assets, free cash was −₹55.0 Cr: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 136% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 17 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives. What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 2.9× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Pricol's cash go? Pricol Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 51 days in FY26, up from 34 days in FY21. It spent ₹837 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 52 days to pay, and stock sits for 70 days on average. Why this happened. The acquired Pricol Precision Products business generated ₹90 Cr revenue in FY26 at an 11% EBITDA margin, operating at over 90% capacity utilization. Management has committed ₹400 Cr of the ₹700 Cr expansion program to build new facilities and a Center of Excellence for 2K molding, in-mold painting, and fiber-reinforced plastics, aiming for a 2.5x expansion in division revenue over 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹4,041 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹11.1 Cr, so roughly ₹565 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 52 days to pay and stock sat for 70 days, about 2.3 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 51 days, longer than FY21's 34. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 70 days. Customers pay about 52 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 71 days. Together that makes the 51-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹837 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹292 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 ₹112 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 Pricol's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Pricol Ltd's P/E is 30.3×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 31% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 33.8×, over 9.3 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 +50.2% while the price moved +25.7%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +42.4% a year; about +27.9% a year came from earnings growth and about +14.5 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 low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## What growth does the Pricol share price assume? Worked out from its price on 26 August 2026, Pricol Ltd's share price assumed profit growth of about 20.4% a year. Over the past 10 years its profit actually grew 39.5% a year. Today its P/E is 30.3×, lower than 69% of its own last 9.3 years. This is a one-day reading, taken on 26 August 2026. Every other number on this page, the multiple included, uses the latest price as of 3 November 2026. A higher price assumes more growth and a lower price less, so it changes whenever the price changes, and this page does not update it between measurements. ## Is the Pricol business getting better or worse? Pricol Ltd's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROCE is steady at 30.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## What is the Pricol story, and has it been checked? Pricol Ltd's story is not scored yet against the checks our research set on 22 August 2026. Where it sits in its own cycle: EARLY EXPANSION. Our read, 22 August 2026.

What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: ROCE of 24.5% indicates high capital return efficiency at cycle peak. The research reads it further: ROCE reflects asset turns of 2.1x and 12.4% EBITDA margin; deployment of ₹700 Cr capex over 18-24 months will temporarily dilute ROCE toward 16%-18% before asset turnover ramps.

The story check is re-scored every results season; the record below never changes. ## Did Pricol management deliver what it promised? What Pricol Ltd's management promised, against what actually happened: 4 promises on the record. Read straight from the company’s own earnings calls. A promise that slipped stays on this page after it is met. Disc Brake Revenue Timeline Pushed Out · 31 July 2026. In the Jan 2026 call, management expected disc-brake production to start in Q1 or by the beginning of Q2 of the coming financial year. In the Jul 2026 call, management said meaningful revenue would begin only from FY28, representing a material timeline delay that was not explained beyond the statement that the business remains in its early stages. BMS Strategy Reversed · 31 July 2026. The Jan 2026 call described the battery management system as under development and expected start of production within the next four or five quarters. The Jul 2026 call instead said Pricol would stop spending on BMS and remove it from its portfolio, a complete strategic reversal that management should reconcile with the earlier production plan. Capex Deployment Timeline Revised · 31 July 2026. In the May 2026 call, management planned INR 680 crore to INR 700 crores of capex within the current year. In the Jul 2026 call, the same approximately INR 700 crore overall capex cycle was spread across the next 18 to 24 months, implying a material change in the expected deployment cadence without an explanation for the shift. Commodity Cost Recovery Assumption Reduced · 31 July 2026. In the Jan 2026 call, management stated that commodity inflation was fully backed by customer compensation and entirely recoverable after a three-to-six-month lag. The Jul 2026 call lowered that expectation, stating that indexation would recover the costs only to a large extent and that some costs would remain unrecovered, which materially changes the margin-recovery assumption. Every quote above is taken word for word from the company’s own earnings calls. ## How much does Pricol earn on its capital? Pricol Ltd earned a ROCE of 24% in FY26. That is up from a low of −14% in FY19. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 8.4 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 6.2% net margin and 1.63× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 6.2% net margin × 1.63× asset turnover × 1.97× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 19.9% 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: 20.4% − 12.0% = +8.4 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. A gap this wide means each rupee put back into the business creates more than a rupee of value. The 20.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 21.5%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Pricol have too much debt? Pricol Ltd has total debt of ₹379 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,255 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.30× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.27 in FY22 to 0.30 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Pricol shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions cut their stake in Pricol Ltd by 4.0 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 11.7% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −1.7 points over the same period, to 14.1%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: −4.0 points over 8 quarters, to 11.7%; Foreign institutions: −1.7 points over 8 quarters, to 14.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 38.5%. Why the owners changed: domestic institutions drove it (−4.0 points), together with foreign institutions (−1.7 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Pricol from balance-sheet trouble?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. 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.

What would change the story: A failure of customer indexation to restore consolidated operating profit margin above 12.0% by October to December 2026, combined with market share loss in digital clusters below 30% or a sustained deterioration in working capital days exceeding 25 days.
