Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Thermax Ltd trades at a market cap of ₹48,592 Cr with a PE of 81.7x and PB of 8.7x, reflecting premium valuations against a backdrop of decelerating growth — TTM sales growth at 5% and TTM profit declining 18%. The company has delivered a 5-year stock CAGR of 24% but faces questions on whether current earnings justify the elevated multiples.
- Strong 5-year compounded sales growth of 18% CAGR demonstrates sustained revenue expansion through capital expenditure cycles
- 5-year compounded profit growth of 18% CAGR shows the company has historically converted top-line growth into earnings
- Stock has delivered 24% CAGR over 5 years, significantly outperforming broader market indices
- 10-year ROE averaging 10% with recent 3-year average improving to 12% indicates gradual improvement in capital efficiency
- Dividend yield of 0.49% provides a baseline shareholder return in a capital goods company that typically reinvests heavily
- 3-year sales CAGR of 10% confirms continued order execution momentum even as TTM growth moderates
- Market cap of ₹48,592 Cr positions Thermax as a large-cap industrial play benefiting from India's infrastructure and energy transition spending
- PE ratio of 81.7x is significantly elevated relative to industrial sector peers, leaving limited margin of safety
- TTM profit growth has turned negative at -18%, signalling near-term earnings pressure despite high valuations
- Price-to-book of 8.68x is extremely high for a capital goods company, implying the stock prices in years of future growth
- 3-year ROE of only 11.5% is modest for a company commanding 81.7x earnings, suggesting returns do not justify the premium
- TTM sales growth has decelerated sharply to 5% from 10% over 3 years and 18% over 5 years, indicating a slowdown
- Other income of ₹331 Cr is a meaningful component of reported earnings, raising questions about core operating profit quality
- 10-year compounded profit CAGR of only 7% reveals that long-term earnings growth has been modest relative to current valuation multiples
- 1-year stock CAGR of 24% has further stretched valuations without corresponding acceleration in fundamental growth metrics

AI News Digest
- Q1FY27 PAT drops 85% YoY Jul 30
Consolidated net profit fell to ₹22 crore in Q1FY27 from ₹147 crore YoY, driven by a ₹91 crore cost overrun in the Industrial Infra segment despite 7% revenue growth to ₹2,303 crore.
- FY26 PAT up 13.7%, ₹20 dividend Jul 30
Thermax declared ₹20/share dividend at its 45th AGM, reporting FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹10,694 Cr and PAT of ₹721 Cr, supported by strong order bookings.
- Q1FY27 earnings call hosted Jul 31
Thermax held its investor conference call on July 31, 2026 to discuss Q1FY27 results, led by MD & CEO Ashish Bhandari and Group CFO Rajendran Arunachalam. Audio recording uploaded per SEBI regulations.
TL;DR: Thermax delivered solid FY26 performance with 13.7% PAT growth and healthy order bookings, but Q1FY27 was severely hit by a ₹91 crore cost overrun in Industrial Infra that wiped out 85% of quarterly profit. The full-year trajectory remains positive on revenue momentum, but near-term execution risk in the infra segment is a key concern. Investors will watch whether cost overruns are one-off or signal deeper project-level issues.
