Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd
VOITHPAPRVoith Paper Fabrics India Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +9.9% in a year against a +6.0% price move.
Biggest watch item: the price is not yet in a confirmed uptrend — timing risk, not thesis risk.
The price is in a downtrend (12 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 5th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +2.2% year on year, and 78% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.
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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd trades at ₹1,538, in a downtrend and 12 weeks into that stage. That is −12.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 18% of a 52-week range of ₹1,430 to ₹2,027. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (22 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 12 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹1,538 it trades −12.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 18% of its 52-week range (₹1,430–₹2,027).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.0 years the stock moved +200% while the NIFTY 500 moved +260% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (22 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2025-10-03) — 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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd trades at 14.7× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 5% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 17.8×, measured across 10.0 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 14.7× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 5% of the time, against a long-run median of 17.8× measured over 10.0 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 +9.9% against a +6.0% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +6.4%/yr price move, ~+12.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−5.9 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +11.6%/yr price move, ~+11.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+0.0 pp from the multiple (roughly flat). 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 low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
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).
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE holding at 15.0% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 9 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.
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.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +5.6% | +9.4% | +10.0% | +6.4% |
| Profit | +11.1% | +11.3% | +9.9% | +6.7% |

4-Factor Sector Score
60.8/100 — rank 2 of 4 in Textiles - General · 54% evidence confidence
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd scores 60.8 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Textiles - General, ranking 2. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.6 + 15.2 + 12.7 + 11.3 = 60.8. 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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd reported ₹49.7 Cr of revenue in the Dec 25 quarter, +20.7% year on year. That is the 4th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 6.4% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at ₹190 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹208 Cr.
FY25 revenue came in at ₹190 Cr (+5.6% on the year), capping 10 years at 6.4% compound. The latest quarter (Dec 25) printed ₹49.7 Cr, +20.7% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +14.5% growth against the decade's 6.4% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +14.0% over the last 4 quarters against +8.4%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +21.3% vs +6.2%/yr — accelerating.
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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd's operating margin is 28.6% in the Dec 25 quarter, +4.9 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 23.0% to 31.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 28.6%, +4.9 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 23.0%–31.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +4.9 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.9 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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd earned ₹8.2 Cr of net profit in the Dec 25 quarter, +2.2% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was ₹40.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 6.7%. That is 16.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹8.0 Cr.
Dec 25 profit was ₹8.2 Cr, +2.2% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY25 printed ₹40.0 Cr (+11.1%), and the 10-year compound rate is 6.7%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +20.7% and the margin +4.9 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +22.5% vs revenue +14.5%. 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.
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 78% of Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY25 that was ₹32.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹40.0 Cr of profit. After ₹40.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−8.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of ₹32.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹40.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−8.0 Cr after ₹40.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 78% 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 78%: the cash cycle stretched 82 days between FY20 and FY25 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.
Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 82 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.
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).
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 183 days in FY25, up from 101 days in FY20. Capital spending ran ₹94.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY25 sales of ₹190 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.5 Cr, so roughly ₹95.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY25: debtors at 63 days, inventory at 220 days — roughly 7.2 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 183 days, looser than FY20's 101.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 220 days to sell; customers pay about 63 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 100 days — netting out to the 183-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY25 sales of ₹190 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.5 Cr — so the 183-day loop keeps roughly ₹95.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹94.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹34.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹13.0 Cr (FY25) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.
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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 14% in FY21. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 21.1% net margin on 0.44× asset turns.
FY25 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 14% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 21.1% net margin × 0.44× asset turns × 1.11× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 10.3% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
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.
Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd carries ₹0.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹384 Cr of equity in FY25, a debt-to-equity of 0.00. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹0.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹94.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.
FY25: borrowings of ₹0.0 Cr against equity of ₹384 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.00. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹0.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹94.0 Cr in just the last 3 — the build-out is being paid for out of cash, not debt.
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 Voith Paper Fabrics India Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 74.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 74.0%.
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.
Voith Paper Fabrics 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.

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.
