SRM Contractors Ltd

SRM
Construction - Civil/Turnkey

SRM Contractors Ltd is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range — the business is moving before the market.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 55% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (17 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +53.8% year on year, and 55% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified. PEG is the exception: the quarterly curve is not drawn at all. PEG asks what is being paid for growth — both sides of that division come from the source that could not be checked, so it is withheld instead of marked.
01 · Price story

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.

SRM Contractors Ltd trades at ₹439, in a confirmed uptrend and 17 weeks into that stage. That is −8.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 24% of a 52-week range of ₹379 to ₹634. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (9 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 17 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹439 it trades −8.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 24% of its 52-week range (₹379–₹634).

Sep 26: ₹439 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 2-year window.

Apr 24Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2.4 years the stock moved +92% while the NIFTY 500 moved +9% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (9 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-10) — 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.

02 · Valuation

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.

SRM Contractors Ltd trades at 8.5× P/E, about the cheapest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 17.6×, measured across 2.4 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 8.5× is about the cheapest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 17.6× measured over 2.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: margins are the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

P/E 8.5× vs a 17.6× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 2.4-year window; loss-period spikes above 31× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +101.9% against a −10.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

Put together: the multiple is low 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.

03 · What the price assumes

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, SRM Contractors Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 8.2% a year. Profit itself has compounded 69.2% a year over the past 5 years. Today the market pays 8.5× P/E, the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is low against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements.

04 · Stage: Mixed

Stage: Mixed 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).

SRM Contractors Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: revenue growth has eased from +100.0% at its peak to +38.0% (single-quarter readings) but is still expanding, ROCE lifting at 37.0%. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +94.3% in FY26, profit +101.8% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

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.

05 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

65.4/100 — rank 1 of 13 in Construction - Civil/Turnkey · 80% evidence confidence

SRM Contractors Ltd scores 65.4 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in Construction - Civil/Turnkey, ranking 1. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -20.7% and the one-year return is -11.6%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 29.1 + 20.1 + 11.3 + 4.9 = 65.4. 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.

06 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

SRM Contractors Ltd reported ₹196 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +38.0% year on year. That is the 7th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 5 years it has compounded at 45.0% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,026 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,079 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,026 Cr (+94.3% on the year), capping 5 years at 45.0% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹196 Cr, +38.0% year on year — the 7th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +76.1% growth against the decade's 45.0% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +75.4% over the last 4 quarters against +73.6%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +87.3% vs +105.3%/yr — rolling over.

07 · Operating margin

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.

SRM Contractors Ltd's operating margin is 19.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0% to 16.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 19.0%, +5.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 10.0%–16.0%, and FY26's 16.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +5.1 pp year on year while gross margin went +6.2 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.

08 · Net profit

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

SRM Contractors Ltd earned ₹20.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +53.8% year on year. It is the 7th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹111 Cr. The 5-year compound rate is 69.2%. That is 10.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹13.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹20.0 Cr, +53.8% year on year — the 7th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹111 Cr (+101.8%), and the 5-year compound rate is 69.2%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +38.0% and the margin +5.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +82.2% vs revenue +76.1%. 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.

09 · Cash flow — the router

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 55% of SRM Contractors Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹92.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹111 Cr of profit. After ₹189 Cr of capital spending, ₹−97.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹92.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹111 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−97.0 Cr after ₹189 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 55% 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 55%: the cash cycle tightened 61 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 6.3× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

10 · Where the cash goes

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).

SRM Contractors Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −133 days in FY26, down from −72 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹251 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,026 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹2.8 Cr, so roughly ₹−374 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 33 days, inventory at 31 days — roughly 1.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −133 days, tighter than FY21's −72.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 31 days to sell; customers pay about 33 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 197 days — netting out to the −133-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,026 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹2.8 Cr — so the −133-day loop keeps roughly ₹−374 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹251 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹40.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 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.

11 · Return on capital

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

SRM Contractors Ltd earns a ROCE of 37% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 28% in FY24. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +26.0 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 10.8% net margin on 1.03× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 37%, recovered from a FY24 trough of 28% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 10.8% net margin × 1.03× asset turns × 2.68× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 29.8% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 38.0% − 12.0% = a +26.0 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.

12 · Debt

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

SRM Contractors Ltd carries total debt of ₹135 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹413 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.33. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.75 in FY23 to 0.33 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹135 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹413 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.33. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.75 (FY23) to 0.33 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

13 · Ownership

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.

Domestic institutions cut 4.6 points of SRM Contractors Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 0.3% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −2.4 points over the same window, to 0.1%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −4.6 points over 8 quarters to 0.3%; Foreign institutions: −2.4 points over 8 quarters to 0.1%; Promoters: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 72.6%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−4.6 points), alongside foreign institutions (−2.4 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −0.3 pts from Mar 25 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 2 year-ends held.

14 · Safety line

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.

SRM Contractors 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.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. 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 curve the sector itself 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 widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

The read comes from the last 12 quarters of growth (revenue growth +38.0% latest, profit growth +53.8% latest) plus the ROCE curve, classified by deterministic rules — a trajectory read, not a buy or sell call — as of 11 September 2026.

What is SRM Contractors Ltd's capex?

SRM Contractors Ltd spent ₹251 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY26 alone that was ₹189 Cr, with ₹0.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 11 September 2026.

What is SRM Contractors Ltd's cash flow?

SRM Contractors Ltd generated ₹92.0 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−97.0 Cr of free cash flow after ₹189 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹111 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 11 September 2026.

Is SRM Contractors Ltd's profit real cash?

Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, 55% of SRM Contractors Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹92.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹111 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 11 September 2026.

Where is SRM Contractors Ltd in its business cycle?

SRM Contractors Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 16.0%, against a 6-year band of 10.0%–16.0%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran 19.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 11 September 2026.

What growth does SRM Contractors Ltd's price assume?

At its price on 13 June 2026, SRM Contractors Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 8.2% a year. Profit itself has compounded 69.2% a year over the past 5 years. The figure reads the multiple backwards: the growth a buyer at that price was already paying for. — as of 11 September 2026.

What could break the SRM Contractors Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 55% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 11 September 2026.

Is SRM Contractors Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: SRM Contractors Ltd is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range — the business is moving before the market. The sharpest open question: whether the cash starts following the profit.
