⚡ At a Glance
Fiem Industries is India’s two-wheeler lighting mogul – with 30% market share, 28% ROCE, and consistent dividend payout. Yet, despite doubling profit in 3 years and being almost debt-free, the stock flies below most radars. Maybe it’s time we cleaned the mirrors.
1. 🎬 Introduction with Hook
If Bajaj, Hero, Honda, TVS, and Royal Enfield had a group chat, Fiem would be in it — quietly supplying them with headlights, tail lamps, mirrors, and even smart LED units.
This company is the OEM BFF of India’s two-wheeler mafia, with high return ratios, lean operations, and now a growing exports angle too.
So why is the market not hyping it? Why does the promoter keep cutting stake? Let’s switch on the high beam 🔦
2. 🏭 WTF Do They Even Do? (Business Model)
Fiem Industries is a Tier-1 supplier to auto OEMs, mainly in:
- Automotive Lighting: Headlamps, tail lamps, indicators, DRLs
- Rear-view Mirrors
- LED display panels (recent segment)
- Smart lighting units & IoT for EVs
👑 Clients: Hero MotoCorp, TVS, Honda, Yamaha, Bajaj, Royal Enfield, Ola, Ather, Revolt, etc.
📦 80–90% of business comes from 2W OEMs, which makes it cyclical — but they’re diversified across all major players.
3. 📈 Financials Overview – Profit, Margins, ROE
| Metric | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |
