About

Kec International Limited operates in civil construction within the Industrials sector, with a market capitalization of ₹11,710 Cr. The company generates quarterly revenues between ₹4–6 Cr with operating margins around 6% and maintains moderate leverage (D/E 0.83) with a history of annual dividends. The 46% stock decline over the past year despite consistent shareholder returns suggests investor concerns about operational execution or market cyclicality.

Key insights

Company research notes and source-linked reviews

Key risks

Stock down 46.21% in 1y despite stable dividends: verify underlying drivers (operational challenges, sector headwinds, or valuation reset)
Standalone net profit swings from ₹0.52 Cr to ₹246.56 Cr (EPS 0.02–9.26) across recent quarters reflect high project execution risk and earnings unpredictability
OPM fell from 7.16% (Dec 2025) to 5.79% (Jun 2026); verify if driven by project mix, pricing pressure, or input cost inflation
PE 21.15 with ROE 10.53% suggests limited value creation for investors; verify if valuation reflects cost of capital or structural limitations
