On the call for January to March 2026, held on 7 May 2026, Vesuvius India's management guided: Run rate ₹650-700 crore anticipated to continue or increase, matching market demand curve rather than fixed budget. > “Our products perform at a 99.9999% reliability rate.

When Vesuvius India reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Test of capital spending commitment versus cautious phrasing. - What to check (from the call) - Test of capital spending commitment versus cautious phrasing. - Price increase pass-through completion: Management stated recent cost pass-through work 'in progress' with customers - next quarter revenue and mix data should reveal whether price increase materialized or customer pushback constrained. Operating margin trajectory should show inflow if successfully executed. - Plastic refractory ramp trajectory: Launched couple months ago, claimed 'ramping month-on-month' - next inquiry should show whether acceleration continues or plateaus. Monitor contribution to total revenue. - Aluminum customer wins materialization: Aluminum flagged as major growth area with dedicated sales team in 'early-to-middle stage' - next company update should surface early contract wins, plant trials, or customer adoption progress. Absence would suggest early-stage claim overstated or commercialization pace slower than expected. ## Which stock lists is Vesuvius India on? Vesuvius India is on one of our India lists: 52 week high & low. [52 week high & low 52-week position: At 52-week low](https://www.sectoralpha.in/52-week-high-stocks-india) ## Is Vesuvius India profitable? Vesuvius India Ltd earned ₹59.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −6.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was ₹264 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 13.6% a year on average. That is 11.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹63.0 Cr. For the full year, FY25 profit was ₹264 Cr (−0.4% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +2.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +3.3% and revenue +9.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Vesuvius India make, and is it growing? Vesuvius India Ltd reported ₹536 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +2.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 11.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at ₹2,104 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,134 Cr. FY25 revenue was ₹2,104 Cr, +12.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.4% on average, against 11.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +8.9%, against +10.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +2.8%, against +0.8% a year (stabilising). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Vesuvius India keep? Vesuvius India Ltd's operating margin was 16.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 10.0% and 19.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.2 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Vesuvius India's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 70% of Vesuvius India Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so most of the profit is real cash. In FY25 it brought in ₹177 Cr of operating cash against ₹264 Cr of profit. After ₹106 Cr of spending on assets, ₹71.0 Cr was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 70% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 18 days longer between FY20 and FY25, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives. What to look at next: less of the profit turns into cash than it should, and the cash cycle is 18 days longer. The next section looks at where the cash is stuck. ## Where does Vesuvius India's cash go? Vesuvius India Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 62 days in FY25, up from 44 days in FY20. It spent ₹586 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 84 days to pay, and stock sits for 92 days on average. At FY25 sales of ₹2,104 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹5.8 Cr, so roughly ₹357 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY25: customers took 84 days to pay and stock sat for 92 days, about 3.0 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 62 days, longer than FY20's 44. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 92 days. Customers pay about 84 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 114 days. Together that makes the 62-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹586 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹144 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹52.0 Cr (FY25): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: cash is getting stuck in the daily cycle, so watch the cycle more than the profit. ## What is Vesuvius India's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Vesuvius India Ltd's P/E is 29.2×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 45% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 30.7×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −0.2% while the price moved −25.6%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +26.7% a year; about +32.0% a year came from earnings growth and about −5.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved +11.8% a year; about +11.5% a year came from earnings growth and about +0.3 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Vesuvius India business getting better or worse? Vesuvius India Ltd's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROCE is steady at 21.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## How much does Vesuvius India earn on its capital? Vesuvius India Ltd earned a ROCE of 21% in FY25. That is up from a low of 9% in FY20. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 5.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 12.5% net margin and 0.98× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 12.5% net margin × 0.98× asset turnover × 1.29× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 15.8% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 17.9% − 12.0% = +5.9 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each rupee put back into the business creates more than a rupee of value. The 17.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 21.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Vesuvius India have too much debt? Vesuvius India Ltd has total debt of ₹14.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,749 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.01× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.01 in FY24 to 0.01 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Vesuvius India shareholding pattern? Foreign institutions raised their stake in Vesuvius India Ltd by 2.3 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Foreign institutions now own 4.6% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +0.9 points over the same period, to 21.8%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Foreign institutions: +2.3 points over 8 quarters, to 4.6%; Domestic institutions: +0.9 points over 8 quarters, to 21.8%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters, to 55.6%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions drove it (+2.3 points), together with domestic institutions (+0.9 points). They raised their stake step by step. ## How far is Vesuvius India from balance-sheet trouble? For Vesuvius India Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Vesuvius India rank in its industry? 29.4 out of 100, rank 6 of 8 in Refractories, with 96% of the evidence available. Vesuvius India Ltd scores 29.4 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in Refractories, ranking 6. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 10.9 + 12.3 + 5.2 + 1 = 29.4. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Vesuvius India compared with? Vesuvius India ranks 6 of 8 Refractories companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 29.4 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
