Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd

TUTIALKA
Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.

Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 84th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.

The price is building a base (6 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 84th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −31.9% year on year, and 76% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.

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.
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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd trades at ₹59.7, building a base and 6 weeks into that stage. That is +1.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 43% of a 52-week range of ₹44 to ₹81. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 13 straight weeks.

Today the stock is building a base — week 6 of stage 1, confirmed. At ₹59.7 it trades +1.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 43% of its 52-week range (₹44–₹81).

Sep 26: ₹59.7 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Mar 16Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +875% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 13 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.

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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd trades at 21.6× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (84th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 14.3×, 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 21.6× is at the pricey end of its own range (84th percentile), against a long-run median of 14.3× 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.

P/E 21.6× vs a 14.3× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 10.4-year window; loss-period spikes above 25× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

84th percentile of 10y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −41.2% against a −20.5% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 10y, of the +22.7%/yr price move, ~−20.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+42.7 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.

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, Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 8.1% a year. Profit itself has compounded 0.8% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 21.6× P/E, the 84th percentile of its own 10-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is far above 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: Turning around

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).

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −58.5% at the trough to −6.7%, a 3-quarter improving streak, ROCE slipping at 22.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +9.4% in FY26, profit −40.3% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

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.

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

49.9/100 — rank 3 of 7 in Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash · 76% evidence confidence

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd scores 49.9 out of 100 against the 7 companies it is compared with in Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash, ranking 3. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 12.1 + 18.9 + 7.9 + 11 = 49.9. 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.

06 · Revenue

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

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd reported ₹80.7 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +6.0% year on year. That is the 7th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 8.0% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹338 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹342 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹338 Cr (+9.4% on the year), capping 10 years at 8.0% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹80.7 Cr, +6.0% year on year — the 7th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +9.1% growth against the decade's 8.0% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +9.3% over the last 4 quarters against +7.9%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit −6.7% vs −37.8%/yr — accelerating.

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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's operating margin is 13.3% in the Jun 26 quarter, −11.2 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −83.0% to 24.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.3%, −11.2 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −83.0%–24.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −11.2 pp year on year while gross margin went −16.8 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd earned ₹6.7 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, −31.9% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹37.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 0.8%. That is 8.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹9.9 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹6.7 Cr, −31.9% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹37.0 Cr (−40.3%), and the 10-year compound rate is 0.8%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +6.0% and the margin −11.2 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +8.7% vs revenue +9.1%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.

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 76% of Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 that was ₹124 Cr of operating cash against ₹37.0 Cr of profit. After ₹133 Cr of capital spending, ₹−9.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹124 Cr against reported profit of ₹37.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−9.0 Cr after ₹133 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 76% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY26: CFO ₹124 Cr vs profit ₹37.0 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 11-year window, annual resolution.

Why conversion sits at 76%: the cash cycle stretched 1,701 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 1,701 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

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).

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −13 days in FY26, up from −1,714 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹178 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹338 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.9 Cr, so roughly ₹−12.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 23 days, inventory at 182 days — roughly 6.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −13 days, looser than FY21's −1,714.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 182 days to sell; customers pay about 23 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 219 days — netting out to the −13-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹338 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.9 Cr — so the −13-day loop keeps roughly ₹−12.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

FY26: a −13-day cash cycle Debtor days, inventory days, payable days and the cash conversion cycle by fiscal year. 13-year window.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹178 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹19.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹150 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹133 Cr, work-in-progress ₹150 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.

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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd earns a ROCE of 22% in FY26. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 10.9% net margin on 0.54× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 22%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 10.9% net margin × 0.54× asset turns × 3.43× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 20.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

12 · Debt

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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd carries ₹120 Cr of borrowings against ₹181 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.66. Operating profit covers the interest bill 9×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹6.0 Cr to ₹120 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹178 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹120 Cr against equity of ₹181 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.66. Operating profit covers the interest bill 9×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹6.0 Cr to ₹120 Cr while capital spending ran ₹178 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

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.

Foreign institutions cut 4.5 points of Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 1.4% of the company. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 75.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −4.5 points over 8 quarters to 1.4%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 75.0%.

🚨 Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (−4.5 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +0.0 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 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.

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers 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.

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.
