Key insights

Company research notes and source-linked reviews

Key risks

Valuation at PE 60.25 relative to ROE 15.17% signals significant multiple compression risk if growth slows; verify earnings trajectory.

Stock surged 114% over one year to ₹2,089.6 from ₹878; momentum rally exposes downside if expectations reset.

Public float of only 4.12% with 78.46% promoter holding limits liquidity and retail accessibility.

Castings and forgings face industrial-cycle volatility and raw-material cost swings; verify order visibility and pricing flexibility.

Growth drivers

Revenue grew 19% YoY from ₹377.39 Cr (Sep 2025) to ₹449.42 Cr (Jun 2026); verify order book health and market-share expansion.

Net profit expanded 24.5% YoY from ₹73.44 Cr to ₹91.46 Cr while OPM held at 30%+; verify if margin durability survives cost inflation.

Consistent dividends across 2024–2026 and D/E of 0.15 indicate strong cash conversion; verify capex plans and organic growth investment.

Bulk deals are a client trading over 0.5% of the equity in a session, aggregated across their trades; block deals are single negotiated trades in the exchange’s block window. Each is reported by the exchange it was crossed on, so NSE and BSE rows are separate trades rather than the same trade twice.
