Craftsman Automation Ltd trades at ₹10,271 as of 2026-10-30 with a market cap of ₹26,863 Cr. The company has delivered strong TTM sales growth of 38% and TTM profit growth of 103%, but trades at an elevated PE of 54.24x with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.11 and ROE of 11.76%.

Bull Case 7
  • TTM profit growth of 103% indicates a sharp acceleration in earnings, suggesting operating leverage is kicking in as revenue scales
  • Compounded sales CAGR of 39% over 5 years and 36% over 3 years reflects consistent top-line momentum well above the auto sector average
  • Stock has delivered a 1-year CAGR of 65%, significantly outperforming broader indices, with the price recovering from a 52-week low of ₹6,451.50 to ₹10,271
  • 5-year compounded profit CAGR of 32% demonstrates sustained earnings growth over a meaningful time horizon
  • ROCE of 14.26% indicates reasonable capital efficiency for a capital-intensive manufacturing business
  • TTM sales growth of 38% suggests the company is expected to give good quarter performance going forward based on current run-rate
  • 3-year stock CAGR of 35% and 5-year stock CAGR of 35% show the market has consistently rewarded the company's execution over multiple time frames
Bear Case 8
  • PE of 54.24x is significantly elevated for an auto-sector company, leaving little room for earnings disappointment
  • Debt-to-equity ratio of 1.11 indicates meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, increasing financial risk in a cyclical sector
  • Stock trades at 8.04x book value (PB of 4.87 per key metrics), which is a steep premium for a manufacturing business
  • ROE of 11.76% (last year 12%) is modest relative to the rich valuation, and the 3-year average ROE of only 13% suggests limited improvement in return efficiency
  • Promoter holding has decreased by 12.6% over the last 3 years, which may signal reduced promoter confidence or dilution
  • Dividend yield of just 0.1% offers virtually no income cushion, meaning returns depend entirely on capital appreciation
  • Stock is trading 14.4% below its 52-week high of ₹11,999, indicating recent selling pressure despite strong fundamentals
  • 5-year ROE averaging 14% and 10-year ROE averaging 13% show limited structural improvement in profitability over time despite revenue scaling

AI News Digest

9h ago

TL;DR: Craftsman Automation delivered strong topline and profit growth in Q2FY27, with revenue up 47% and profit up 69% YoY, powered by Aluminium segment expansion. However, EBITDA margin compression to 13.3% and a profit miss versus estimates signal near-term cost pressures. The balance sheet remains manageable at 1.7x-1.8x net debt/EBITDA with CAPEX set to ease in Q4. The trend is broadly positive on growth, but margin recovery and the stationary engine ramp-up timeline into FY29-FY30 are key monitorables.

Headwinds 3
  • EBITDA margin compression Oct 28

    EBITDA margin contracted to 13.3% in Q2FY27 from 15.1% YoY, driven by temporary commodity price volatility and operational cost increases despite 30% EBITDA growth to ₹392 crore.

  • Q2 profit missed estimates Nov 2

    Net profit of ₹153 crore missed analyst estimates of ₹165 crore, and the stock traded down ~0.95% on results day despite strong topline growth.

  • GST demand for excess ITC Oct 6

    Received a GST demand of ₹68.72 lakh plus penalty for FY22-FY23 excess ITC claims. Company plans to appeal and cites no material financial impact.

Positives 4
  • Revenue surges 47% YoY Oct 28

    Consolidated revenue grew 47.1% YoY to ₹2,945 crore in Q2FY27 from ₹2,002 crore, driven by Aluminium segment expansion and broad-based demand.

  • Net profit jumps 69% YoY Oct 28

    Net profit rose 68.6% YoY to ₹153 crore from ₹91 crore, reflecting strong operating leverage despite margin headwinds.

  • Stationary engine growth runway Nov 2

    Stationary engine revenues projected to peak at $100 million by FY30, with ramp-up starting FY29, providing a visible long-term growth driver.

Neutral 1
  • Earnings call set for Oct 29 Oct 14

    Craftsman Automation scheduled an earnings call on October 29 to discuss Q1FY27 results, with CMD Srinivasan Ravi participating.
