AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Thermax Ltd is a capital goods company trading at a market cap of ₹48,447 Cr with a PE of 81.8x and PB of 8.7x. Consolidated revenue for FY2024-25 was ₹10,369 Cr with profit before tax of ₹884 Cr, while the order book stood at ₹10,693 Cr as of March 2025. TTM sales growth has decelerated to 5% and TTM profit has declined 18%, even as the stock has delivered a 24% return over the past year.
- Strong order book of ₹10,693 Cr as of March 2025, up 6% YoY, providing over 1x TTM revenue visibility
- FY2025-26 consolidated revenue grew to ₹10,694 Cr and order booking surged 34.2% YoY to ₹13,871 Cr, indicating accelerating demand
- Long-term compounded sales growth of 18% over 5 years demonstrates sustained top-line expansion
- 5-year compounded profit growth of 18% shows the company can scale earnings alongside revenue over a cycle
- Stock CAGR of 25% over 5 years and 17% over 10 years reflects consistent long-term wealth creation
- Consolidated profit before tax rose from ₹884 Cr in FY25 to ₹947 Cr (pre-exceptional) in FY26, an increase of 7%
- Presence across energy, environment, and chemical segments with exposure to India's capex upcycle in infrastructure and industrials
- Dividend yield of 0.49% provides a modest but consistent payout to shareholders
- PE ratio of 81.8x is significantly elevated relative to the capital goods sector median, leaving limited margin of safety
- TTM profit has declined 18%, indicating near-term earnings pressure despite revenue growth
- Stock trades at 8.7x book value while ROE has averaged only 11-12% over 3-5 years, implying premium valuation not well-supported by return ratios
- 3-year ROE of just 12% and last-year ROE of 11% are modest for a company commanding such a high PB multiple
- Earnings include other income of ₹331 Cr, meaning core operating profit is lower than headline numbers suggest
- TTM sales growth has slowed sharply to 5% from 10% 3-year CAGR, raising questions about near-term revenue momentum
- Q2 FY2025-26 saw project cost overruns including ₹42 Cr of additional provisions on a single project, highlighting execution risk in large EPC contracts
- Q4 FY2024-25 order booking declined 8% YoY to ₹2,119 Cr, showing lumpiness in order inflows

AI News Digest
- Q1FY27 PAT crashes 85% YoY Jul 30
Consolidated net profit plunged to ₹22 crore in Q1FY27 from the year-ago quarter, 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, with MD Ashish Bhandari and CFO Rajendran Arunachalam discussing Q1FY27 results. Audio recording uploaded per SEBI regulations.
TL;DR: Thermax delivered a solid FY26 with 13.7% profit growth and healthy order bookings, but Q1FY27 was severely impacted by a ₹91 Cr cost overrun in Industrial Infra that wiped out 85% of quarterly profit. The full-year trajectory remains positive on revenue momentum, but near-term margins face execution risk until the infra segment cost issues are resolved. Investors should watch for management commentary on containment measures and order pipeline quality in upcoming quarters.
