Profits swing violently in this business — real losses in FY17 and FY18 and FY19 and FY20 and FY21 and FY22 and FY23 and FY24 and FY25. That is what “deep cyclical” means: the same company looks brilliant at the top of its cycle and broken at the bottom.net_profit

Where the clock stands now: earnings sit at 100% of their historical range, margins are the best ever printed, and the market pays the expensive end of its range (87th percentile). That reads as AT PEAK — everything looks great at once — record earnings, top-of-band margins, a full price. That is exactly when cycles turn, and no one rings a bell.net_profit

5 of the 6 things we track are currently moving the right way — nearly everything is pulling in the same direction.

Where the levels actually stand: ROCE −2% — weak; effectively no debt; margins at an all-time high. Momentum says which way things are moving; these say where they are.

Read this number for what it is: it measures the DIRECTION of change, not the quality of the business. A mediocre business getting better scores high here; a great one having a soft quarter scores low. Profit, sales and margins count double.

THE ONE CHART THAT MATTERS

A rally without earnings underneath it

Since Mar 2016, the stock is down 77% while earnings per share fell 197%. The difference is re-rating — investors paying more for the same rupee of profit.pricettm_eps

That works until it doesn’t: from here, earnings have to do the lifting, because the multiple has already done its part.

Today’s P/E of 171.6× means the market is paying up — this is the expensive end of its own 10-year history (87th percentile).pe_ratio

Price is the weekly close (₹). EPS is trailing-twelve-month profit per share, anchored on Screener's own snapshots; between snapshots it is filled from price ÷ P/E (an exact identity), and any fill straying more than 18% from the neighbouring snapshots is dropped rather than shown. The lower panel is the P/E — what the market pays per rupee of profit; the dotted line is its long-run median (36.2×).

WHERE THE PRICE IS IN ITS CYCLE

An uptrend that has held for 8 weeks

STAGE 2 · ADVANCING · 8 WEEKS

Every stock cycles through the same four seasons — a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Right now this one is in Stage 2: advancing, 8 weeks in, confirmed.stage

The price sits above its rising 200-day average (₹11 today) and its strength against the index is still improving — trends like this persist more often than they reverse, which is why the system rides them instead of guessing the top.dma_200

Beating NIFTY 500 for 47 weeks — relative strength is the market’s live opinion, and right now it is on this stock’s side.rs_mansfield

What would end it: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the house exit rule — mechanical, no debates.dma_200

THE LONG ARC

A business that went through the fire — losses in FY17 and FY18 and FY19 and FY20 and FY21 and FY22 and FY23 and FY24 and FY25, records now

Over 12 years, sales went from ₹26,519 Cr to ₹44,873 Cr (about 5% a year), and profit from ₹1,968 Cr to ₹34,552 Cr.revenuenet_profit

The books show real losses in FY17 and FY18 and FY19 and FY20 and FY21 and FY22 and FY23 and FY24 and FY25 (worst: ₹−73,878 Cr). Everything about today’s cheap-looking numbers must be read against that history — the recovery is what you are buying.net_profit

CHAPTER 1 · THE ENGINE

Sales have gone quiet — growth has stalled

Revenue — the money that comes in from customers, before any costs.

Mar 26 sales were ₹11,332 Cr, up 3% on the same quarter last year.revenue

That makes 7 quarters of growth in a row — this is a trend, not a blip.revenue

CHAPTER 2 · THE TAKE

Margins have been rebuilt — 39.7% in FY23 to 42.3% now

Margins — the share of every ₹100 of sales kept as profit. Gross (after raw materials), operating (after running costs), net (after everything).

Of every ₹100 of sales, the company keeps ₹43.1 as operating profit (a year ago it kept ₹42.3).opm_pct

Zoom out and this is the page's quiet hero: annual operating margin bottomed at 39.7% in FY23 and has been rebuilt to 42.3% — that recovery, not sales alone, is what powers the profit growth elsewhere on this page.operating_profit

PAT (profit after tax) — what is left for shareholders after every cost, interest and tax.

CHAPTER 4 · THE ACID TEST

Does the profit turn into cash?

Operating cash flow (CFO) — the cash that actually arrived, vs PAT, the profit accounting reports. Annual figures.

The wrinkle is the latest year: FY26 collected ₹19,411 Cr against ₹34,552 Cr of reported profit — about 56%. One year isn’t a trend, but it is the line to watch.operating_cash_flownet_profit

CHAPTER 5 · THE PIPELINE

The cash cycle is stable

Working capital — days of sales locked up in inventory and unpaid bills. Screener reports this yearly, so this chart is annual.

One rupee now takes about 16 days to go out the door as materials and come back as collected cash.cash_conversion_cycle

CHAPTER 6 · THE BUILD

The asset base keeps compounding — this company builds

Capex — money spent on plants, machines and buildings. Gross block is what exists; CWIP (capital work-in-progress) is what is being built. Annual.

The productive asset base has gone from ₹29,602 Cr (FY14) to ₹1,56,906 Cr, with another ₹1,454 Cr of capacity under construction right now.fixed_assetscwip

The build is self-funded: the last 3 years' investing outflow (₹24,259 Cr) fits inside the operating cash the business generated (₹49,528 Cr).investing_cash_flowoperating_cash_flow

CHAPTER 7 · SURVIVAL

Debt is small — but no longer zero, and growing

Debt-to-equity — borrowings against shareholders’ money. Computed from the balance sheet. Annual.

For every ₹100 shareholders have put in (and left in), the company has borrowed ₹−538 — total borrowings have grown from ₹20,637 Cr to ₹1,92,528 Cr over the window.borrowings

The equity base grew even faster, so the ratio stays comfortable — but a 9× rise in absolute borrowings deserves a name (acquisitions, capex), not a shrug. Watch whether it keeps compounding.borrowings

CHAPTER 8 · THE ENGINE ROOM

Every ₹100 kept in the business earns just ₹−2

ROCE — profit earned per ₹100 of capital used. ROE — the same, per ₹100 of shareholders’ money alone. Annual.

Return on capital employed is −2.0% (a year ago: −2.0%). This is the single best test of business quality: what the company earns on the money it keeps.roce_pct

CHAPTER 9 · WHO OWNS IT

Promoter holding dropped in one step — an event, not a slow exit

Shareholding — who owns the company: founders (promoters), foreign funds (FII), domestic funds (DII).

Promoters hold 25.6% (down 12.5 points over 8 quarters). Foreign funds own 5.6%, domestic funds 6.2%.promoters_pctfiis_pctdiis_pct

The promoter move came in a single step (Jun 25) — promoters rarely buy on-market, so a jump like this is almost always an allotment, infusion or restructuring: a capital event, not a slow accumulation of conviction. Worth knowing which, before reading it as a signal.promoters_pct

WHAT IS NOT HAPPENING
  • Sales are NOT driving the profit move — revenue grew just 2.9% while profit moved much more. This is a margin-and-recovery story, which has a shorter runway than a volume story.revenuenet_profit
THE VERDICT

The numbers earn a deeper study — and watch the one thing that matters

The numbers lean positive, and the price already assumes the good news continues.

Best thing in the data: free cash flow rising (₹−6,957 Cr → ₹13,307 Cr).operating_cash_flow

Biggest worry: foreign-fund holding falling (10.1% → 5.6%).fiis_pct

One dissent worth hearing: our catalysts lens reads negative — “2 earnings trigger(s): deleveraging, market_share_gains. 2 risk factor(s): Execution Risk on Capex, Continuous Subscriber Churn. Management rated VERIFY — needs”. When a lens disagrees with the committee, it is usually pointing at the thing that breaks first.
