Analyst Insight & Comprehensive Analysis
Business Overview and Revenue Trends
Universal Cables Ltd operates within the cables sector, focusing on power and other applications. The company recorded sales of ₹2,202 Cr for the fiscal year ending March 2023, reflecting a growth trajectory as compared to ₹1,813 Cr in the previous year. However, the sales for the fiscal year ending March 2024 stood at ₹2,020 Cr, indicating a decline from the previous year’s performance. Quarterly sales figures show fluctuations, with the highest quarterly sales recorded at ₹638 Cr in September 2024. Despite the ups and downs, the trailing twelve months (TTM) sales for March 2025 are reported at ₹2,408 Cr. The company has also reported a consistent increase in sales over the years, with ₹1,415 Cr in March 2019 and ₹2,408 Cr in March 2025, which illustrates a positive long-term growth trend. The operating profit margin (OPM) stood at 7% for March 2025, which is lower compared to previous years, suggesting that while revenue is increasing, the cost management could be an area for improvement.
Profitability and Efficiency Metrics
Universal Cables Ltd reported a net profit of ₹89 Cr for the fiscal year ending March 2025, a decline from ₹108 Cr in March 2024. This decline in net profit coincided with a decrease in the net profit margin, which stood at 1.79% for March 2025, compared to 1.69% in March 2024. The company’s return on equity (ROE) was recorded at 5.04%, reflecting the efficiency of generating profits from shareholders’ equity, while the return on capital employed (ROCE) was reported at 6.93%. The interest coverage ratio (ICR) stood at 1.95, indicating that the company is able to comfortably cover its interest expenses. However, the cash conversion cycle (CCC) has increased to 153 days, which may indicate challenges in managing working capital. The operating profit for March 2025 was ₹180 Cr, with an OPM of 7%, highlighting a need for improved operational efficiency to enhance profitability.
Balance Sheet Strength and Financial Ratios
As of March 2025, Universal Cables Ltd reported total borrowings of ₹849 Cr against reserves of ₹1,737 Cr, showcasing a relatively stable financial position. The debt-to-equity ratio stood at 0.47, suggesting a moderate level of leverage. The company’s current ratio was recorded at 1.60, indicating a healthy liquidity position, while the quick ratio stood at 1.15. This liquidity suggests that Universal Cables is well-positioned to meet its short-term obligations. The book value per share was ₹510.69, and the price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio was reported at 0.96x, indicating that the shares are trading at nearly book value. The total assets increased to ₹3,419 Cr, up from ₹3,320 Cr in the previous fiscal year, demonstrating a solid asset base. However, the return on assets (ROA) was low at 2.61%, which could imply inefficiencies in utilizing its asset base to generate earnings.
Shareholding Pattern and Investor Confidence
The shareholding structure of Universal Cables Ltd reveals that promoters hold a substantial 61.89% stake, indicating strong control over the company. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have a minimal presence with only 0.18%, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) hold 6.66%. The public shareholding comprises 31.28%, with the total number of shareholders reported at 18,069. Over the past few quarters, there has been a slight increase in DII participation, rising from 2.05% in September 2022 to 6.66% in March 2025, reflecting growing institutional interest. Conversely, FIIs have shown limited engagement, which could be a concern for broader market confidence. The consistent promoter holding suggests stability, but the low FII involvement may indicate a lack of broader investor enthusiasm. The company’s ability to attract more institutional investors could enhance its market credibility and valuation.
Outlook, Risks, and Final Insight
If margins sustain or improve in future quarters, Universal Cables Ltd could see a rebound in profitability, potentially driving the stock performance positively. However, the rising cash conversion cycle and declining profit margins pose risks that could hinder growth. The company’s significant reliance on promoter holdings may limit market liquidity, making it susceptible to volatility. Additionally, with the low ROE and ROCE, there is a pressing need for operational efficiencies and better asset utilization to boost shareholder returns. If management can effectively address these challenges and leverage its established market position, there is potential for enhanced investor confidence and financial performance. The upcoming quarters will be crucial for assessing whether the company can navigate these risks while capitalizing on its revenue growth trajectory.
