Sigachi Industries 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.

Sigachi Industries Ltd trades at ₹37.9, in a downtrend and 58 weeks into that stage. That is +36.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 95% of a 52-week range of ₹18 to ₹39. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 10 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 58 of stage 4. At ₹37.9 it trades +36.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 95% of its 52-week range (₹18–₹39).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4.8 years the stock moved −33% while the NIFTY 500 moved +52% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 10 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.

Sigachi Industries Ltd trades at 64.5× P/E, about the priciest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 20.5×, measured across 4.8 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 64.5× is about the priciest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 20.5× measured over 4.8 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 −217.6% against a −11.5% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +2.4%/yr price move, ~−24.1%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+26.5 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.

A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Stage: Turning around 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).

Sigachi Industries Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −100.0% at the trough to −52.7% off a 2-quarter-old trough (single-quarter readings), ROCE slipping at 6.0%. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

4-Factor Sector Score

41.5/100 — rank 14 of 20 in Chemicals - Organic · 79% evidence confidence

Sigachi Industries Ltd scores 41.5 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Chemicals - Organic, ranking 14. Price leads the evidence: RS versus the benchmark is 38.7%, but earnings trajectory is weak. Wait for revenue and profit confirmation.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 9 + 7.2 + 8.4 + 16.9 = 41.5. 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.

Sigachi Industries Ltd reported ₹121 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, −5.4% year on year. Over 8 years it has compounded at 21.4% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹478 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹471 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹478 Cr (−2.0% on the year), capping 8 years at 21.4% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹121 Cr, −5.4% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −9.4% growth against the decade's 21.4% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −9.6% over the last 4 quarters against +7.2%/yr over the last 8 — 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.

Sigachi Industries Ltd's operating margin is 13.6% in the Jun 26 quarter, −5.2 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 11.0% to 21.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.6%, −5.2 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 11.0%–21.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −5.2 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.4 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

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

Sigachi Industries Ltd earned ₹8.2 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹83.0 Cr. That is 6.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹101 Cr. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 26 profit was ₹8.2 Cr, null year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹−83.0 Cr (−218.6%).

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −67.5% vs revenue −9.4%. 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 40% of Sigachi Industries Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹4.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹−83.0 Cr of profit. After ₹−5.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹9.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹4.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹−83.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹9.0 Cr after ₹−5.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 40% 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 40%: the cash cycle stretched 77 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 77 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).

Sigachi Industries Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 193 days in FY26, up from 116 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹244 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹478 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.3 Cr, so roughly ₹253 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 171 days, inventory at 108 days — roughly 3.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 193 days, looser than FY21's 116.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 108 days to sell; customers pay about 171 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 87 days — netting out to the 193-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹478 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.3 Cr — so the 193-day loop keeps roughly ₹253 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹244 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹45.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹31.0 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.⚠ unverified

Sigachi Industries Ltd earns a ROCE of 6% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −5.0 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is −17.4% net margin on 0.57× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 6%.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): −17.4% net margin × 0.57× asset turns × 1.61× balance-sheet leverage ≈ −16.0% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 7.0% − 12.0% = a −5.0 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.⚠ unverified

Sigachi Industries Ltd carries total debt of ₹162 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹529 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.31. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.15 in FY22 to 0.31 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹162 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹529 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.31. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.15 (FY22) to 0.31 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

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.

Promoters cut 8.7 points of Sigachi Industries Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 36.7% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.3 points over the same window, to 1.3%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −8.7 points over 8 quarters to 36.7%; Foreign institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 1.3%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−8.7 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

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.

Sigachi Industries 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.
