Solar Industries India 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.

Solar Industries India Ltd trades at ₹18,391, in a confirmed uptrend and 17 weeks into that stage. That is +17.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 97% of a 52-week range of ₹11,911 to ₹18,610. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (4 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 17 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹18,391 it trades +17.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 97% of its 52-week range (₹11,911–₹18,610).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +2,805% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (4 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-03) — 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.

Solar Industries India Ltd trades at 95.4× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (85th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 48.3×, measured across 10.4 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 95.4× is at the pricey end of its own range (85th percentile), against a long-run median of 48.3× measured over 10.4 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 +38.7% against a +33.2% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +60.9%/yr price move, ~+39.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+21.5 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +39.5%/yr price move, ~+26.1%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+13.4 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.

The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 8.2% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Stage: Consistent 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).

Solar Industries India Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue and profit growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROCE at 38.0% and holding. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.

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

60.9/100 — rank 1 of 4 in Industrial Explosives · 75% evidence confidence

Solar Industries India Ltd scores 60.9 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Industrial Explosives, ranking 1. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -17.5% and the one-year return is 26.8%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 26.6 + 22 + 7.3 + 5 = 60.9. 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.

Solar Industries India Ltd reported ₹3,053 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +40.9% year on year. That is the 8th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 21.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹9,838 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹9,837 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹9,838 Cr (+30.5% on the year), capping 10 years at 21.1% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹3,053 Cr, +40.9% year on year — the 8th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +29.8% growth against the decade's 21.1% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +30.4% over the last 4 quarters against +27.3%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +34.8% vs +40.8%/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.

Solar Industries India Ltd's operating margin is 27.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 19.0% to 28.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 27.0%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 19.0%–28.0%, and FY26's 28.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.3 pp year on year while gross margin went +3.9 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

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

Solar Industries India Ltd earned ₹556 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +60.7% year on year. It is the 10th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,737 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 25.6%. That is 18.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹346 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹556 Cr, +60.7% year on year — the 10th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹1,737 Cr (+34.9%), and the 10-year compound rate is 25.6%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +40.9% and the margin +2.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +33.8% vs revenue +29.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to 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 115% of Solar Industries India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹621 Cr of operating cash against ₹1,737 Cr of profit. After ₹1,552 Cr of capital spending, ₹−931 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹621 Cr against reported profit of ₹1,737 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−931 Cr after ₹1,552 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 115% 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 115%: the cash cycle stretched 44 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 5.8× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

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).

Solar Industries India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 152 days in FY26, up from 108 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹3,329 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹9,838 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹27.0 Cr, so roughly ₹4,097 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 69 days, inventory at 130 days — roughly 4.3 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 152 days, looser than FY21's 108.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 130 days to sell; customers pay about 69 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 47 days — netting out to the 152-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹9,838 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹27.0 Cr — so the 152-day loop keeps roughly ₹4,097 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹3,329 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹576 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹731 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

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.

Solar Industries India Ltd earns a ROCE of 38% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 18% in FY14. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 17.7% net margin on 0.92× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 38%, recovered from a FY14 trough of 18% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 17.7% net margin × 0.92× asset turns × 1.71× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 27.8% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 8.2% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Solar Industries India Ltd carries ₹1,524 Cr of borrowings against ₹6,277 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.24. Operating profit covers the interest bill 20×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹808 Cr to ₹1,524 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹3,329 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹1,524 Cr against equity of ₹6,277 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.24. Operating profit covers the interest bill 20×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹808 Cr to ₹1,524 Cr while capital spending ran ₹3,329 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 8.2% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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.

Foreign institutions cut 1.2 points of Solar Industries India Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 6.4% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +0.6 points over the same window, to 13.4%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −1.2 points over 8 quarters to 6.4%; Domestic institutions: +0.6 points over 8 quarters to 13.4%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 73.2%.

🚨 Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (−1.2 points), absorbed on the other side by domestic institutions (+0.6 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.

Solar Industries India Ltd: the Z-score is withheld — it comes from the second data source this page could not reconcile, and a solvency score is not worth printing on a number two sources dispute. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is withheld — it comes from the second data source this page could not reconcile, and a solvency score is not worth printing on a number two sources dispute.
