Tejas Cargo 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.

Tejas Cargo India Ltd trades at ₹333, in a confirmed uptrend and 56 weeks into that stage. That is +12.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 50% of a 52-week range of ₹253 to ₹412. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (2 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 56 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹333 it trades +12.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 50% of its 52-week range (₹253–₹412).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.4 years the stock moved +98% while the NIFTY 500 moved +16% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (2 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-08) — 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.

Tejas Cargo India Ltd trades at 38.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 29.6×, measured across 1.4 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 38.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile), against a long-run median of 29.6× measured over 1.4 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 +9.4% against a +39.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

Stage: No read 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).

Tejas Cargo India Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

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.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

4-Factor Sector Score

51.4/100 — rank 9 of 18 in Logistics · 56% evidence confidence

Tejas Cargo India Ltd scores 51.4 out of 100 against the 18 companies it is compared with in Logistics, ranking 9. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 15.3 + 13.9 + 9.8 + 12.4 = 51.4. 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.

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

Tejas Cargo India Ltd reported ₹327 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +31.3% year on year. That is the 2nd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 2 years it has compounded at 22.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹629 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,131 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹629 Cr (+25.5% on the year), capping 2 years at 22.5% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹327 Cr, +31.3% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +25.4% growth against the decade's 22.5% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

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.

Tejas Cargo India Ltd's operating margin is 20.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 3 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 16.0% to 19.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 20.0%, −2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 3 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 16.0%–19.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.9 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.3 pp — the gain 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.

Tejas Cargo India Ltd earned ₹8.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −20.0% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹21.0 Cr. The 2-year compound rate is 27.1%. That is 2.4% of the quarter's revenue.

Mar 26 profit was ₹8.0 Cr, −20.0% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹21.0 Cr (+10.5%), and the 2-year compound rate is 27.1%.

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 321% of Tejas Cargo India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹59.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹21.0 Cr of profit. After ₹108 Cr of capital spending, ₹−49.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹59.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹21.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−49.0 Cr after ₹108 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 321% 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 321%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY24 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 1.6× 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).

Tejas Cargo India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 69 days in FY26, up from 61 days in FY24. Capital spending ran ₹218 Cr over the last 2 years. At FY26 sales of ₹629 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.7 Cr, so roughly ₹119 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 69 days (an asset-light business — no inventory to speak of) — for a full cycle of 69 days, looser than FY24's 61.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹629 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.7 Cr — so the 69-day loop keeps roughly ₹119 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹218 Cr over the last 2 fiscal years against ₹133 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹19.0 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.

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

Tejas Cargo India Ltd earns a ROCE of 12% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −4.9 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 3.3% net margin on 1.41× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 12%.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 3.3% net margin × 1.41× asset turns × 2.32× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 10.8% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 7.1% − 12.0% = a −4.9 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

Tejas Cargo India Ltd carries total debt of ₹220 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹193 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 1.14. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.92 in FY25 to 1.14 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹220 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹193 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 1.14. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.92 (FY25) to 1.14 (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.

No holder of Tejas Cargo India Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

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.

Tejas Cargo India 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.
